Textme is one such web service which allows users to send selected text or even links via SMS from the browser itself.

Features of onTextme

• Textme is a simple web service which allows users to share text, images and links from the browser to an mobile phone in India.
• This is done by installing a browser add-on. I tested it with Chrome but add-ons are available with Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Safari.
• The service is free and without ads, which is a big plus as the last thing you want are more text ads on your phone.
• Developers and site owners can also insert Textme buttons on their websites to make sharing content via SMS a lot more easier.

If you are using Chrome, then you might like Writer Web App which allows users to quickly type in a distraction free environment.

The web app calls itself the typewriter for the internet. It expectantly has a sparse design and allows users to save notes. It also allows sending what you have written on various blogging platforms like Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal and more. Users can even send an email from the web app.

The online tool is quite perfect if you want to quickly write down some thoughts without any distraction. In case you want a software that is distraction free on your desktop, you might like trying out CreaWriter for Windows or OmmWriter for Mac and iPad. In case you are using Linux using JDarkroom is quite useful.

Try out Writer for Chrome and drop in your comments.

On the Desktop application similar option show up if you right click on a particular folder and access its Dropbox options.

Sharing files with a simple link was always popular but most services were hampered with size restrictions. So this service by Dropbox will probably see a lot of people share their projects, bunch of photos and even home videos with a simple link.

Expected Google Drive is Pushing Dropbox to ramp up!

There are still many rumours going around that Google will be launching a cloud storage service to rival Dropbox. This could be quite a challenge to Dropbox as it does not have anywhere close to the resources that Google has. This is probably pushing Dropbox to shore up its defense.

Dropbox has already introduced quite a few new features like saving photos from a digital camera, a newly designed website with a photo viewer and lately it has even doubled the free space offered for every referral.

I am sure Dropbox fans are in for a good time with more features that will probably be announced over the next month, especially when Google Drive is released.

Not all fans of Instagram are happy about Facebook acquiring the company as they fear that Facebook will kill Instagrams independence and turn it into just a feature.

There are a couple of quick ways to backup your Instagram photos on your computer.

#1. Instaport

Visit Instaport.me and use your Instagram login credentials to authorize the app. Once we are done with the authorization the site shows a page which allows us to download photos in a .zip file.

The advanced options allow users to download all your photos, photos from a specific time frame and even all the photos you liked from other users. It also allows downloading upto 100 Instagram photos from a particular tag.

#2. Instagram to Dropbox

My favourite backup application is Dropbox. It works great with other websites and I use it to backup my Facebook photos automatically on my computer.

I like using this iftttt recipe that automatically backups my Instagram photos to my Dropbox account.

I personally like using the second option because it works automatically and behind the scenes but for more features using Instaport is great too.

That said I wanted to look for a good list of all similar online retail services in India. A great online tool to get similar or alternative websites for a particular one is Websites Like.

Websites Like Features

• The website features a search feature. Just type in the keyword to find related websites.
• If you want to find similar websites, just append the site address to http://www.websiteslike.org/site/ . For example http://www.websiteslike.org/site/devilsworkshop.org will give out results of sites that are similar to our blog.
• The website claims that it has alternatives for over 1 million websites. I must say that sometimes the most obvious results are missing. For example, when I type in “Google Search” it does not return Bing but a host of SEO and Google related websites. Then again, users would not be looking for the most obvious results anyways.

It would have been nice to have a search bookmarklet or Chrome extension to make it easy to use Websites Like on the fly. Unfortunately at the moment I will just have to bookmark this one for now.

Let’s check out the major 5 reasons why the free Wikipedia is better than Encyclopedia Britannica.

#1.It’s Free

Instead of buying Britannica which can cost $1400 for 32 volumes or subscribing to it online, which also is priced at $70 a year, it is better to use the free Wikipedia. Thousands of contributors have helped keep Wikipedia free and have voluntarily shared knowledge through millions of articles.

#2. Regular updates

It is an obvious fact that while looking for information online you want something that is upto date. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and is updated regularly by thousands of people around the world. Most times events are added in almost real-time while printed versions simply cannot match this sort of continuously updated content.

#3. Online support

Wikipedia is open to anonymous and collaborative editing. The contributors of Wikipedia consist of 700000+ people around the world whereas Britannica have 4000 contributors including 110 Nobel Prize winners. The sheer large number of people contributing to Wikipedia makes its probably the most well supported repository of online content.

#4.Raising Funds

Since 2010 version of Britannica, 8000 copies have been sold generating $11 million in revenue whereas Wikimedia generated the funds $60 million in the mean time. The underlying fact about this is that $60 million was raised through voluntary donations and not through placing ads which would have earned Wikipedia a lot more money. Wikpedia is run only on donations as it is a non-profit organization.

#5.Accuracy

A study conducted by IBM researchers in 2003 found that content on Wikipedia had self healing capabilities. This is precisely because of its editing model. There are a large number of good editors who overcome the issue of problematic editors who might cause mischief. Also as the editors are voluntary it means they work as a community and end up learning and getting better over time. This has led to more accurate content on Wikipedia over time.

Britannica on the other hand has far more accurate information than Wikipedia does which is expected of a paid service.

YouTube is the king of online  videos with more than 48 hours of videos uploaded every hours,  recently it  has crossed 4 billions of views in a day. YouTube has great feature of embedding the videos on any Website or Blog, this help in promotion of videos as well as retention of users on the site.  Earlier users could only view the videos but were not able to get information about the videos (descriptions), nor were they able to share it from the site where videos are embedded.

To share users has to visit the YouTube video page. But now YouTube has rolled out two new drop-down button in the embedded videos which allow users to view the infromation of videos as well directly share it to Social media sites without leaving the site.

Share Video directly

There are two new drop-down button added in the embedded videos  at the top right after the title of video – Share and More info. With Share button, which open a sharing page on the video itself allows user to share video on Facebook, Orkut, Google+ and other major sites.

It also allows user to embed video as they do on YouTube, with all available options like embedding-size and the starting point.

Get information about the videos

The ’More info’ button displays the Channel on which the video can be seen, along with the no of subscribers of the Channel and an option to subscribe to the Channel. If you have already signed into your YouTube account, after pressing subscribe button, you will be automatically subscribed to the channel otherwise a popup will appear to authenticate. 

Details of the videos as well as no of views and likes and dislikes are also shown. This feature of videos can easily turned on/off.  It is good for the user to get the information about videos without going to YouTube. Users can also like or dislike the video while they start watching the video, those button appear on the same title bar.

This will be hugely important for people creating video content on YouTube to be able to use it on a website without losing out on the social juice.
