04 May 07 Gochongo, generate ideas and get benefits from them
Have you ever wondered what to do with all the ideas that pop up in your mind daily but because of lack of time you can’t see implemented? Well, no need to wonder anymore :-), because we have discovered Gochongo, an interesting new website where you can submit your ideas for future projects, services or applications, and if the online community around the site votes yours as a good plan, you can even get some money for it.
The stuff you submit can also be developed by someone else, or you can find users to provide you content for it should you wish to participate, there are many ways to carry out what can be a future service to make you rich :-). And if your project is one of the best, it will be exposed in the site, to give you more popularity and visibility.

08 Abr 07 Huddle, managing your team remotely
Among the several servicesavailable in the online market to do remote management, one more option comes to us providing a full range of features and collaboration tools for teams not sitting physically together on one single office.
The application is named Huddle, a network of secure online spaces, document and project tools in a social working environment. You can share documents, jot new ideas, plan new projects, create tasks and assign them to your team members, meet them online, etc.
Although it is not completely free ( and there are a few applications that are pretty similar and do not cost anything), they present themselves as a strong product for everyone that needs to work while being in different locations and keep in touch with colleagues doing also the same. Another good option without doubt that you can try freely for some time before deciding to purchase the paid version.

12 Mar 07 Reinvigorate, checking your stats
People who has a blog usually has a system to check stats. We have been talking previously about Shiny Stats, a simple but useful tracking system that can be placed without any java script code on your blog or website.
Now, for those willing to implement something apart from Google Analytics, you have the possibility to implement something more powerful, such as the new Reinvigorate. With a new face and layout, the reports are clean and complete, in fact I would say that they are as powerful as Google Analytics’, although you have to get use to the way the information is presented.
You can also install the tracking code in as many sites as you wish with one single account, and easily navigate through them via your control panel. I presume I will soon install it here and keep several stats system for some time to compare their efficiency, although you have to expect some differences in numbers, for whatever reason, they never match :-).
20 Feb 07 Picassa Web, looking for images online
It has taken a while, but finally locating images at Picassa web it is now possible :-). If you are a fan of Yahoo’s Flickr service to search photos online from other people, but were using Google’s Picassa to store yours, now you can make public yours and search pics from others that have made public theirs. Confusing? Not, really easy! :-).
Picassa web is now providing its accounts with 1Gb of capacity ( I always wonder where Google stores so much information for all their services) and the only thing you need is a Google account, give the necessary sharing rights to your photos and voila!.
To find pics you just need to enter the keywords you want in the search box and the system will reply with the photos that has been able to find from other users. You can also download and leave comments on the photos, so it is becoming a serious competitor for Flickr, although it is not still as popular. But it is a Google service, so just give it time, what else can we said?
