Save tens of thousands of clicks per year!

If I couldn't have this one precious app I would throw away all my PC's, and even some old Macs... Click.to !

I have configured Click.to to instantly copy and submit to any search I commonly use and then display the result immediately. For example, I copy an address and click the icon and the Google Map location appears. I copy a phone number and click the icon and Skype dials for me. I save a Word then click the icon and Wiki definition appears. I click a paragraph and click the icon and the paragraph is oresented in y email message for me to address and send.

Watch the 1-minute video at http://www.clicktoapp.com/ and know that it gets even better!

Eliminate THOUSANDS of clicks, opens, paste, clicks each month.

Do you have trouble managing multiple Google Drive Accounts? 

Many people own several Google Drive accounts. We need them, and we want to keep them separate -- for personal docs and for work, or for a second job, or for volunteer activities. Amnd Google has not made it easy to anage all those Google Drive accounts. understandably Google would like to limit their exposure for free storage to one per account per computer.

Anyone with multiple accounts would appreciate having their Google Drive folders (a.) easily synced and (b.) easily accessed on the same PC and (c.) on every device they own.

Now you can manage and sync all those accounts with a beautiful application from InSync (www.insynchq.com).

InSync offers a short trial period followed by a very reasonable Pro service. The full Pro version is only $9.95 one-time per Google Drive account that you own. This compares incredibly well against the other application I considered that was $19.95 each year for each Google Drive account that you own.

That purchase allows you to sync all your devices to all those Google Drive accounts you own.

InSync also allows you to quickly add any document to your various Google Drive folders without moving them from where you have them. Just right click and add through the InSync line item added to your right-click drop-down list.

The rest of the story?

"On Oct. 12, in the basement of a Unitarian church on the town green in Lexington, Mass., a carpenter named Michael Cresta scored ____ points in a game of Scrabble. His opponent, Wayne Yorra, who works at a supermarket deli counter, totaled 490 points. The two men set three records for sanctioned Scrabble in North America: the most points in a game by one player (830), the most total points in a game (1,320), and the most points on a single turn (___, for Cresta's play of QUIXOTRY).

Contest for Worst Misspelling!

Submit the worst case of misspelling(s) that you can find at any website. Just add the quote and URL in a comment field below. We will be collecting examples along with URL's for verification -- so don't forget to paste in the link.

We will award a prize at the end of August, and if we get a great response we should make this a monthly contest.

Of course I am hopingto get enough embarrassing mistakes that we might also generate some spell checking business from it as well (crass commercialism). However it should also be a kick to read some samples, like it is to watch Jay Leno's "Monday Night Headlines."

Let's only collect English errors, as that is the only language that we spell check.

Note that we are not worrying about competitors using this as a lead source, as there is NO OTHER COMPANY that spell checks entire web domains and then has real, live, human editors previewing every mistake to rule out those annoying false-positives.

We also maintain custom dictionaries for each client as well, and we even have special features, like word and phrase searching to find all the locations of words or phrases that you need to find across your domain to replace when company execs make annoying changes -- like a corporate name change, for example.

I betetr pruuf this reelly well so this post dose not becume an entry.
