The 10 best blogging platforms available for free

The 10 best blogging platforms available for free
It used to be said that everyone has a book in them. These days, it might be more appropriate to argue everyone has infinite tweets, snarky Facebook updates, and semi-random comments in them.

Blogs might have fallen out of fashion a touch, due to the onslaught of social networks, but there's something about having a space that's properly yours, potentially free from the distractions of a billion adverts and countless competing status updates. In this round-up, we explore 12 of the best blogging platforms for newcomers who want to get a free blog up and running. 01.

Poor life choices: 5 digital tools I use everyday and their better (free) alternatives I like to think of myself as being a rational individual. I like to believe I make sensible decisions based on the best available information to hand. I’m also a digital native; I know my Chrome from my Cortana, my CSS from iOS. I’ve built a birdbox with live video streaming powered by Raspberry Pi. So why do I continue to make poor life choices, digitally speaking, every single day? What follows are the most commonly used digital tools in my life and the known, dare I say better, alternatives that I use far less. Currently use: Skype At the end of each Skype call you get asked to feed back on the quality of the call. The call quality on Skype isn’t always horrendous. Preferred alternative: Google Hangouts I’ve been using Hangouts since Google+ was launched and I have almost always had an excellent experience with it. Currently use: Facebook For the last few years Facebook has been working hard to become a less and less appealing place to spend time online. Why? Currently use: PowerPoint

15 Apps and Websites Kids Are Heading to After Facebook Gone are the days of Facebook as a one-stop shop for all social-networking needs. Recent reports go back and forth on teens' favorite digital hangout, but the fact is that these days, teens are diversifying: dividing their attention among an array of apps and sites that let them write, share, chat, and meet new friends. It may seem more complicated to share photos on Instagram, post secrets on Whisper, flirt with people on Skout, and share jokes on Twitter, but tweens and teens seem to enjoy keeping up with their various virtual outposts, and each one offers something different. (And they're doing lots of positive things on social media!) You don't need to know the ins and outs of all the apps and sites that are "hot" right now (and frankly, if you did, they wouldn't be trendy anymore). Below, we've laid out some of the most popular types of apps and websites for teens: texting, micro-blogging, self-destructing/secret, and chatting/meeting/dating.

10 Online Tools for Better Attention & Focus A recent happiness study from Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert found that the more our minds wander, the less happy we are. Summing the research, the New York Times wrote, “Whatever people were doing, whether it was having sex or reading or shopping, they tended to be happier if they focused on the activity instead of thinking about something else.” In short, being mentally “present” and focused on the task at hand really does matter – quite a lot, in fact. If only finding focus were so simple. 1. If you find yourself slipping into a Twitter sinkhole when you should be updating your business plan, Self-Control may be the app you need. 2. This good-looking app tracks everything you do on your computer, spitting back out a sort of “attention audit.” 3. Concentrate is great for shifting between tasks that require different mindsets. 4. If you’re anything like me, one primarily challenge for focusing is getting all your notes in one place. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. How Do You Stay Focused?

The 14 Best Data Visualization Tools Nishith Sharma is the co-founder of frrole, a social intelligence startup. Raw data is boring and it’s difficult to make sense of it in its natural form. Add visualization to it and you get something that everybody can easily digest. Not only you can make sense of it faster, but you can also observe interesting patterns that wouldn’t be apparent from looking only at stats. All Killer, No Filler This one’s different, trust us. To make the tedious task of making beautiful charts and maps easier, I’ve made the list of best data visualization tools available for the job. Let’s get started! For Developers D3.js D3.js, short for ‘Data Driven Documents’, is the first name that comes to mind when we think of a Data Visualization Software. It doesn’t ship with pre-built charts out of the box, but has a nice gallery which showcases what’s possible with D3. FusionCharts FusionCharts has probably the most exhaustive collection of charts and maps. Chart.js Google Charts Highcharts Leaflet dygraphs Datawrapper

14 privacy tools you should use to stay secure Perhaps one of the biggest thorns in the side of the intelligence community: uncrackable email. PGP, or “Pretty Good Privacy,” first released in 1991, remains the favorite tool of tens of millions of users worldwide, thanks to its apparently uncrackable encryption. It was never particularly user friendly, though. The modern incarnation lives on as an easier-to-use software called GPG, or the Gnu Privacy Guard, which is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and other machines. Although PGP now lives on with Symantec, GPG is open-source, and tried and tested by the security community. Visit: Gnu Privacy Guard
