A Free Service That Makes Publishing Content On The Web As Easy As Pie

I really think what keeps me on the tech blogging circuit is that when I find something that is new and exciting I can share my excitement with people around the world.

My excitement today focuses around a web based service called Tackk, that gives you the ability to easily and creatively share  information on the web. I know you are thinking, so what,  there are many services that gives you this ability.

Folks, I am here to tell you that Tackk is something that I have found to be very different, something that does not require an account (unless you want to) and something that is easy as pie to do (even for the novice computer user). I can see Tackk becoming very, very popular.

Trying to explain Tackk here –  Let’s say you have something to sell. With Tackk you can easily create an online sales flyer and then give out the web address to the flyer for other people to see. Let’s say you have an announcement; create your announcement using Tackk and share the web address to the announcement for other people to see. Let’s say you have an opinion on gun control, post your opinion on Tackk for others to see, share the address, and your visitors can visit and make their own comments.

No software or login is required. No design skill needed. No community to join. Just visit the Tackk home page and start typing. When you’re done creating your Tackk, you can immediately share it with friends in your social networks or the internet at large. It’s no more complicated than tacking a flier to the coffee shop bulletin board.

Here are some of the popular tags I am seeing on Tackk:

A Live Example of A Tackk — You basically can create and post anything that you would want others to see and it is as easy as pie. For example, I posted an announcement on my Tackk Board of a new addition to the family [ CLICK HERE ] .

Tackk features an online editor that allows you to edit the font, background, color, add buttons, make a custom url, etc. There are features built in that you can add to your posting such as adding a comments box, accepting payment through paypal, adding a map, etc.

If you find Tackk to your liking, I highly recommend signing up for an account (which is FREE) so that you can manage your own collection of Tackks.

Kindle with FREE 3G + Wireless

The best selling item on Amazon, for 2 years running, has been the Kindle. Ironically, the Kindle is made by Amazon and is described as Amazon’s revolutionary wireless reading device. When it first hit the market, the Kindle immediately became popular. Finally, there was an electronic device that made sense with us middle aged folks (and older) that is straight from something you would have seen on “The Jetsons”.

Kindle 3G, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 3G Works Globally, Graphite, 6″ Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology

[CLICK HERE]

If you are new to the Kindle, let me tell you what the rave is all about. The Kindle is a wireless (tablet style) reading device, lighter than a paperback book, that gives you the ability to download books (electronically) via 3G or Wi-Fi. The cool part about the Kindle is that there is no monthly subscription fee or cost to connect to 3G. The cost factors in when you select and download a book. The last time I checked Amazon [CLICK HERE] , there was 1,006,663 books in the Kindle Bookstore.

If you are looking for a convenient way to satisfy that book reading addiction, then the Kindle may be your fix.

Use The Western Digital My Passport Essential SE Series Portable External Hard Drive to Backup Your Files

I cannot stress the importance of backing up your personal files (such as your documents, pictures, and videos).  A surefire way to get this done is by purchasing an external hard drive; and, to really make it easy I suggest one of the portable external hard drives that you simply plug in the USB port and start using it. The beauty of the portable external hard drive is that you can easily move it from one PC to another; PLUS, you can then store the drive off site (in the event disaster at home would occur). Many of the portable external hard drives are small enough to easily fit in a briefcase and even your pocket.

A good choice to take a look at is the Western Digital My Passport series of drives (e.g. My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0). The key feature with this drive is that it features dual USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatibility. If you are not backing up your files, here is a good way to start. Believe me, I have seen people turn ghost white, cry, yell, and stomp when told there files are gone.
