Synergy is simple program that does the task of allow you to use one mouse and one keyboard on multiple computers. It also allows you to transfer copy and paste data over too. So if in screen 1 you copy the text “Testing” when you paste in screen 2 it will paste “Testing”. By simply going off the screen it will move your mouse to the next computer there is no need to press any buttons unlike KVM. It is also going to support other draging and dropping features soon such as file drag and dropping. Curently the only problem I have is sometimes on windows 7 when the UAC screen pops up the mouse sometimes stops working.Also it only allows computers around it to be connect sort of. Basiclly what I mean is one computer is 5ft off the ground and the other one is 2ft and to the left there is no way to only have the bottom left corner move your mouse onto the other screen.All in all it is a good program to have handy if you have alot of computers.
XbList is a little program that sits in your tray or pinned on you screen that shows you what friends are online and what they are playing. It also supports popup notifications that you can set. You could have a notification every time someone goes online or offline or every time they change games.It is a good program if you like to know who is on Xbox live and who isn’t.The only bad part about this program is that you must login with IE first and that sometimes there is a delay of like 10 seconds but nothing major.
ClipCube is a tiny clipboard history tool that saves all your clipboards history into a little list pictured above. You can easily delete any clipboard data. It also detects if it is a website or not and will either gray or ungray Go to Address if it is a website or not. You also have the option to pin in somewhere on your screen as well as save the time and date any text was copyied.It is a nice and easy to use program that sits in your tray. Although it does not support pictures it is a good program to have.
Give Away Of The Day is a website that everyday has one free program to give away. It could be anything from audio converters to security software. Each program is avaible for free for only 1 day or 24 hours. The only bad part about this is you also have to install it within those 24 hours or it will not be free. Sometime they will ofter a program for free for more then one day or offer 2 programs one day but this is really rare. You can also submit your program to go on their site. They also have another site that gives away a game every day. Although they do not offer a game every day it is still good to get free games sometimes. Check Game Give Away Of The Day out Here.
Phrase express is a quick and easy solution if you find yourself typing the same thing over and over again. Phrase express saves you time by replacing “How many I help you” with @Help or @HM or w.e. you want to replace it with. It allows you to replace text with other text. It also supports calculations as an add on so if i type 5+5 it will solve it for me. Also you can set hot keys with it so for example when I type H while holding ctrl and shift it will Replace H with Hello. This program also learns what you type and will offer you suggestions. So if you are always saying Whats up next time you type Wh it will say press tab to type Whats up. Another neat feature it has is it allows you to input the current time. So when I say see you in 2 hours it will replace 2 hours with what the time will be.One more cool feature is the ability to launch programs, open an email, open a website or open a file by simple typing a phrase. It also supports servers and clients and allows you to share phrases with other users on your network. I use this program all the time and it saves me loads of time.
Below are a list of its features from their website which I summarized above but for a full list go Here
- Organize frequently used text snippets.
- Expand abbreviations as you type.
- Launch programs with text shortcuts.
- Auto-complete repetitive phrases.
- Quick access to the Windows Clipboard History.
- Correct spelling mistakes in any application.

MirrorCreator provides a simple way to upload the same file you would like to share to 30 different hosting sites: RapidShare, Megaupload, Hotfile, DepositFiles, EasyShare, etc.
If you usually share files in the web, then there’s no way you’ve never used some of the most popular sites: RapidShare, Megaupload, Hotfile, DepositFiles, EasyShare, etc. But you should know also that sometimes the availability and speed of those hosting sites do not offer any guarantees; so why not upload the file to all hosting sites in one step and receive all the possibilities?
MirrorCreator simplifies the task and provides with one step to upload the file to all the hosting sites you would like. The site also gives us the limit upload on each site, so we can avoid any problem within the process.
After selecting the hosting sites and uploading your file, you’ll receive an e-mail (previously set) with all the proper links.
TinEye represents a very interesting web app which allows us to use reverse image search in the web: Upload the image and TinyEye searches around the web to find the same image source, modified versions or finding higher resolutions.
I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing similar in the web right now, and can help a lot of webmasters and bloggers to find if some images they’ve uploaded are being re-used by other people. Most certainly web and graphic designers can use it to protect their work.
TinEye has indexed almost 2 billion images from which they run the comparison every time we upload an image (this web app also can use the URL of the image as well).
TinEye is also available as a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Ge.tt it is a simple web app, which provides one of the easiest way to share files over the web and is completely free with no registration required.
“Step 1: Select files”; “Step 2: Share” and “Step 3: Move on” says Ge.tt to explain the simple procedure for you to use this web app. No registration required, once you’ve selected the file, you’ll receive the public URL to share it. This one is already a short URL, so you can use it directly in Twitter.
Includes the option for registered users (registration is free of course) which includes a few more features: Files are not removed until inactivity for three months; you can add/remove the files you’ve uploaded; and you’ll get live statistics.
Twitlogo lets you generate in a simple way, with any text, a logo with all the similarity as in Twitter logo.
It also has some options for you to customize the text you are using: Font size, color and the outline color. After you’ve created the image, you’ll get the link to download the file as a PNG, simple as that.
Even though there is nothing magical about this web app, can be very helpful to create the logo with your Twitter username and placing it in your site.
