Domain Search. Summify: Gather Trending Articles From Your Feeds and Networks. Most of you have accounts on Facebook as well as Twitter. You use these accounts to stay in touch with friends and learn what your favorite celebrities are up to. And then you have an additional account on Google Reader to stay up-to-date on what your favorite websites have to offer. Logging into these accounts separately daily and checking out their material can be a time-consuming process – partly because you are jumping from site to site and partly because there is a lot of content to view every day. But thanks to Summify the process is made much easier by providing you with all the material under a single interface.

Summify is a free to use web service that integrates Facebook, Twitter, and Google Reader. To start using the service, the first step you need to perform is registering for an account on Summify. After you signup, you will be asked to add additional accounts or configure how your articles summary. You can keep scrolling down to view more stories. Conclusion. Instant Previews for Ads. In November of last year we took Instant to a new level on Google.com with Instant Previews.

Instant Previews provides a graphic overview of a search result and highlights the most relevant sections, making finding the right page as quick and easy as flipping through a magazine. Now, we’re bringing the same benefit to ads with Instant Previews for Ads. Starting today, the Instant Previews icon will appear next to ads on Google.com allowing users to preview the ad’s landing page.

With Instant Previews, your customers are able to quickly preview a page to see if its content matches what they’re searching for. By allowing potential customers to preview your site before they arrive, Instant Previews helps you get even more highly-qualified traffic to your site. Even better, Instant Preview clicks are free of charge -- you’re only charged if a user clicks through to your actual landing page.

The Tools We Use to Track Online Buzz - TNW Europe. During TNW2011 we will be monitoring what people say about the event online. We always do that and have been doing it since we did our first conference, when Twitter didn’t even exist yet, in 2006. This year we use two tools and take a more professional approach. Professional, but not impersonal! Tracebuzz One of our new tools is called Tracebuzz. It tracks the online buzz around the conference on Twitter and a few social networks. With TraceBuz we know what people say about the conference by following, and rating, certain tags and topics we created in advance.

By analyzing the data thus generated we can show the sentiment around speakers, facilities and the conference in general. By integrating with Twitter it is possible to see all related messages to a tweet. Those insights give us better feedback so we know how to respond to stuff that pops up. Our team in The Next Webcare control room responds to all questions and gathers relevant Buzz about the conference. Giving a presentation? Presenter Display is the one feature you need & can’t be without - TNW Europe. With our upcoming conference only days away I thought I’d share some tips on how to produce better keynote. Yesterday I wrote a post on how to auto-tweet during your presentations and today I want to talk a bit about Presenter Display.

Most people put together a presentation, use a few cool (not really) transitions, and that’s that. One of the most awesome and often forgotten tools you can use is the ‘Presenter Display’ in Keynote and newer versions of Powerpoint: As you can see in the above screenshot this mode show your normal slides on the external screen and a dashboard of what you are doing on your other screen. You can see the current slide, your next slide and the comments you have for every slide, including a countdown clock.

Once you get used to this your presentations improve 200%. One problem… A lot of conferences don’t support it because it means investing a bit extra in computers that can handle two screens. 2: The alternative is to just put a laptop on a pedestal on stage.

Free and Easy Email Reminders with FollowUpThen - TNW Apps. FollowUpThen is an email reminder service that notifies you when a task is due.

To remember things, most of us might be using a task management app. But what if you forget to check the todo app at all (happens all the time)? Setting automated alerts is the right way to go. FollowUpThen is a free service and to set up email reminders, you don’t even have to visit their site at all. Just address the reminders to the @followupthen.com, preceded by the day when you want to be reminded.

FollowUpThen For example, if you want to set a reminder ten days from now, you should address the mail to 10days@followupthen.com and the task in the subject or body of the mail. FollowUpThen supports setting reminders after minutes, days, weeks, months and years. That is not all. Multiple recurring reminders can also be set from FollowUpThen. Usually using services like these bring up fears of being flooded with spam. New Tools for Viewing, Editing and Sharing Your Business Cards.

SlideShare.net is the world’s largest online community for sharing presentations with more than 50 million monthly visitors, helping to make it rank amongst the 250 most visited websites in the world.

But, it is more than just a simple presentation sharing portal, with a number of additional features including video hosting and virtual meeting software also on offer. In fact, SlideShare have even made premium channels available to users / organisations, bringing a YouTube feel to the site (check out the Dell Enterprise channel as a good example).

To help you work out if you are getting the most out of SlideShare, we’ve pulled together the following ‘how to’ guide. Account options You have two choices when it comes to the type of SlideShare account you want to go with: A basic account which gives you access to most of the sites functionality accompanied by adsA pro account (offered at three pricing levels) which gives you all the bells and whistles without the ads The basics Content hunters. Adobe’s Creative Suite gets monthly subscription option - TNW Apps. For those of us who don’t rely on the Adobe Creative Suite to do our jobs, the pricing is absolutely insane. For those of you who do, it’s still insane, but at least it’s a necessary amount of insanity. However, there have been numerous times that I’d have loved to have had access to Photoshop, Premiere or something else from CS if only for a few weeks.

Fortunately, Adobe has finally answered the call of people like me, with the introduction of monthly subscriptions for the Creative Suite apps. By way of comparison, “renting” the use of the app for a year will cost you around 60% of what it would to buy the retail version. Though you can save some cash by doing a full year of subscription, instead of a month-to-month plan. Want to get involved? You’ll need to find your country-specific Adobe online store. This handy WhatFont bookmarklet tells it like it is - TNW Apps. Chengyin Liu, an undergraduate Computer Science student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign just released a very sweet bookmarklet called WhatFont that instantly identifies fonts while you’re web browsing.

While developers have been using Firebug or Webkit Inspector, this bookmarklet is the easiest, handiest little tool for all of your inquisitive typefacing needs. Just drag the bookmarklet (found here) to your toolbar and start hovering. Exiting is easy. Simply click Exit WhatFont in the top right corner. Three Essentials to Creating a Networking Strategy.

As a time-strapped small-business owner, determining which networking events to attend and which to skip can be tricky. It's all about the return on investment. How will your business benefit by you attending versus the time and resources it takes to be there. This is when having a networking strategy will come in handy.

Google first outlined the idea of ‘Cloud Print’ back in November. The service would let you print from a browser anywhere – your phone, for example, to an assigned printer. There was one problem – you couldn’t actually buy a printer that supported it. Today that’s changed as HP has announced a new range of printers that support Cloud Print out of the box. Cloud Print is an important step to Google making Chrome OS and Android a better fit for enterprise deployment. Chrome OS and the mobile versions of Gmail and Google Docs already support Cloud Print, so if you pick up one of HP’s new printers you can get going right away.

Further support is available in the form of a third-party Android app, Chrome extension and Firefox add-on, while the latest Windows and Mac beta versions of Chrome feature Cloud Print Connector to help non-Cloud Print printers use the service. Google says that in the next few days it will enable printer sharing, letting multiple users print to the same printer. Make Any Content on the Web Embeddable With Embedly.
