Justine Can Do It's
Tips and Tricks

Here are a few things I've discovered that are free and
make me wonder how I lived without them!


Google has developed a LOT of great applications - here are a few of the many worth checking out:

GOOG-411

(or Google Voice Local Search) "...Google's new 411 service. With GOOG-411, you can find local business information completely free, directly from your phone. You can access 1-800-GOOG-411 from any phone, anywhere, at anytime."
  • from:http://www.google.com/goog411/
  • gmail.com

    free internet email service with unlimited storage and ability to send and receive large files

    Google Maps - personalized!

    Now you can mark up a map with your frequently traveled places, or points of interest near your home or work.

    Sample map of Durham Preschools I created for Durham Mothers Club:

    Other folks are also making Free apps worth checking out:

    Data.gov

    Our very own Obama led gov't is introducing a new free central data website!

    Fax/ voice mail to your computer via K7.net

    "With K7 Unified Messaging, you are assigned a personal phone number that serves as your voicemail box and fax number. You give the number to your friends, family and business associates. They in turn leave you voice messages and send you faxes that K7 will forward to your e-mail address as attachments which can be accessed along with your regular e-mail messages."

    Website counter:

    "Free Web Logger offers free web page hit counters for your website. Load our hit counter code to count the visitors to your site. Totally Free."

    PDF converter for BIG files!

    www.freepdfconvert.com 

    No downloading - and it can handle big files!  This free service is great for those who only need an occasional file conversion into PDF. 

    Timer Online 

    www.online-stopwatch.com/eggtimer-countdown/full-screen/

    I often need a quick timer or alarm to remind me to stop working and pick up my son, or make a phone call, etc.  This simple website runs in the background and is with you wherever you are (if on a laptop, I mean...)
