Glue

Glue, a Chrome extension, is your personal clipboard that lets you copy-paste
text, images and links in a fast and elegant way. This nifty little tool may
come useful in situations where you have to copy text and take a lot of
screenshots. With it, you can copy items from the right-click context menu, add
tags and save them quickly to your personal Glueboard. A "Glued" item can be
edited or deleted later with ease. Not only does the extension let you save bits
and pieces of information, but also lets you instantly share them with your
friends on Twitter. The Glued items are saved and displayed with auto-generated
titles and source links, which you can either view or copy afterwards.

To glue an item, browse to a website of your choice and select the Glue it!
option from the right-click context menu.

Streak – CRM Inside Your Inbox

Streak – CRM Inside Your Inbox

Many of the busiest professionals spend the majority of their days sifting through emails and responding to the most urgent matters. Streak is an application that can make the time people spend going through their email inboxes more efficient and effective. The web-app puts CRM tools right inside its users' Gmail inboxes, making it easy to complete deals and manage client
relationships without clicking around from tab to tab.

Streak can be used for sales management, bug tracking, customer support, or hiring, just to name a few of the many uses for this innovative tool. If you're the kind of person who spends most of your time browsing through an overflowing inbox, then you'll want to give Streak a try. To get started, add Streak to yourbrowser – the app only works on Google Chrome at the current time – login to your account, and then visit your Gmail inbox. Streak will group the emails in your inbox by customer, making it easy to sort messages by client and see where each deal is at in the project pipeline. Deals are organized into a spreadsheet view, with the lead name and project status clearly visible. The application also offers a Send Later feature that you can use to send marketing messages at the ideal date and time.

Members of groups and work teams can use Streak to find out the status of any project by viewing the most recent emails sent back and forth, even when those emails were sent by a different associate at the company. Streak makes it possible to selectively share parts of your email inbox without giving your colleagues access to every message you've ever sent.

Thousands may lose internet in July?

AP | Apr 21, 2012, 11.47AM IST

WASHINGTON: For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the difference between staying online and losing internet connections this summer.

Unknown to most of them, their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system is to be shut down.

The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner, http://www.dcwg.org , that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the internet.

Google Drive with 5GB free storage


Google Drive is finally launching next week as expected earlier according to The Next Web. Google Drive rumors appeared several times before this, a report on March suggested that it will launch in the month of April. It is launching with 5GB of free storage to users, earlier reports suggested that it will launch with 1GB of free storage.

5Gb of free storage will make sense and allow it compete with other free storage services. For example Dropbox offers 2GB of free space, Box and iCloud offer 5GB of free space, while Microsoft's Skydrive offers 25GB of free space. Dropbox and Box offer more storage through various offers.

Users can buy additional storage if the free 5Gb storage is not enough.

incredibly fast and accurate. If you search for "icons", BAM!, you got it!

work", instead of "awesomework". We love clarity here at Grazely.

Nothing to Download

There's nothing to download and no software license to buy. We use a
bookmarklet so you can save links from any web site you visit with 2 clicks of
the mouse. If you don't want to use the bookmarklet, just login to Grazely to
