Enter information about your Website at this URI ( http://www.aboutus.org ) to help improve inbound linking and search engine rankings. ( Example enter into your web browser: http://www.aboutus.org/name-of-your-website )

This generates a Wiki page at About.Us.org, free for any website.  It will create a link to your website, hopefully improving search engine ranking and simply providing more information about you/your business website. The more sites linking to your web site the better it will rank in the keyword search results (towards the top of the results page). This can only benefit you by entering your Web site information.

Note: Near the top of the web page (linked above) is a input field to enter your Web site URI then press Find!  This will generate a Wiki page where you can edit your information as you like.

Take advantage of such Websites for link building and ranking.

Folks,
I’d like to share a couple of useful personal computer software tools (Mac, PC, & Unix), I thought you’d enjoy learning about. These are only for those who use Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail or Firefox Web Browser software. If you are not sure you can ask for assistance first.

First I’d like to bring to your attention Lightning. This Thunderbird extension brings a calendar manager to the popular e-mail client, Mozilla Thunderbird. Since it’s an extension, Lightning is tightly integrated with Thunderbird, allowing it to easily perform email-related calendaring, reminders, and todo tasks. Lightning is free software.

E-messenger.net

You may have noticed the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) icon and status indicator on the AMSA 411 Blog. This informs viewers if I’m logged into AIM at the same time. Sometimes business’ and/or network administrators may filter out this type of non-business traffic (for various hum-bug reasons), thus making chat unavailable on your computer and/or if you’re on a borrowed system and/or simply not installed. This is a problem! You want to logon to AIM/Yahoo/MSN Chat, by all means go for it use this tool: E-Messenger. This website redirects the otherwise blocked chat ports to the open Web browser (port:80 HTTP). Allowing Chat activity through this public Web page and unrestricted port. Live it up chatter box, and drop me a Yo sometime via: http://www.e-messenger.net/ .
