Stop SOPA bill from passing!

Jan172012

stop-sopaTomorrow entire web will go on strike to stop SOPA bill from passing in congress. Why is this bill so important you may ask? Because it will be the end of free speech and open source on the web. Technically speaking you won't be able to have a site like Facebook or Wikipidia (wikipidia will be blacked out the entire wednsday to show their protest) since under this bill each site will be responsible for the content they have.  To learn more about this nonsence  take a look at this infographic. Click here. The clock is ticking, and we're still 35 senators short of the number we need to kill the bill. In just 7 days, the Senate will vote on forever altering the free and open internet by instituting a new regime of extra-judicial, corporate-led website takedowns. This is a fundamental fight about who has power in society -- the people with the means to communicate freely or the governments and corporations that feel threatened.

If you're on Facebook or Twitter, please use these links to spread the word about the protest

Also join us on wednsday by blacking out your site. Copy the code below and paste it into the header of your theme (Wordpress users can use the SOPA Strike plugin) to black your site out in protest of SOPA/PIPA. It will activate automatically on Jan. 18th, displaying this page and directing visitors to contact Congress, and will deactivate at the end of the day.

Must have Gmail extensions to increase your productivity!

Oct262011


Google-chrome-extensionsWe get asked all the time how we optimize and manage our workflow. We don't use a crm software simply because most of them out there are too cumbersome and most of our communication is done through e-mail anyway. So it all starts with our Gmail account (you can set up a Gmail account for your domain in 10 minutes, just Google it or reach out e-mail us).

By default a Gmail account has a lot of powerful features but I always kept hoping for some improvements in functionality to increase my productivity. So here are a few extensions and tips for working with your Gmail account. Click "read more" below!

 

   

Scrubly - Quickly Merge / Delete your Address Book Duplicates

Oct192011

 scrubly-85081155

If you constantly communicate with many people then your e-mail contacts are probably a mess. To make matters worse your phone probably syncs with your e-mail account as well, so you are left with an uber cluttered address book. This is where Scrubly comes into play. Scrubly scans and removes duplicate contacts from Outlook, Mac, G-mail, and Google Apps address books. If the duplicates contain the same first and last name it will obviously appear as a duplicate, however if the same name has other information like an e-mail or other contact number it gives you the choice to merge the two contacts into one.
