one comment

web of trust logo
There are literally uncountable websites around the world. How many sites you can suspect while there are few hundred thousand of sites to steal your identity, do phishing and harm your computer or even worse. You might say hey I have an Anti virus or personal firewall installed in my computer and I am secure. But in that case you’ve spend enough money to secure your computer. Nevertheless not every time an anti virus or firewall software can detect a fake or low privacy site. Previously I’ve tried to use SiteAdvisor from McAfee the popular anti virus maker and Internet Explorer’s Phishing site checker but honestly both of them didn’t really fit my expectations. Then recently I’ve introduced to WOT (Web of Trust) software from one of my online contacts. WOT is a Mozilla recommended security add-on that also works with Internet Explorer and has been downloaded 3 million times. WOT addon warns you about risky websites to help you avoid spyware, browser hijacking, identity theft, phishing and other Internet scams. WOT is a user contributed site checker and comes with a huge database of known sites. This software comes in a flavor of plugin for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, the 2 most used browser on the globe. It represents the safety marks in a ring format. Dark green is most safe and Dark red represents no safety at all. The colors are designed in Human behavior so it takes a less than a second to understand it. As long we understand Red light is No Go and Green light is a Go. Lets take a look at the features this product offers for Free: Read the rest of this entry »

Tjoos Cuts The Crap out of Couponing

Tjoos valentines Day

Many online merchants issue coupon codes, which give you instant discounts when shopping at their online store. Coupon sites aggregate codes from hundreds or thousands of stores. Around the internet there are thousands of such sites, but most fail in at least one of two areas: Quantity (limited number of stores) or Quality (many coupons don\’t work). Fast-growing coupon site Tjoos.com has tackled both under the motto: More Coupons, Less Crap.

Quantity – More Coupons

Coupons for about a thousand stores are easy to get and maintain as they are available in feeds from merchant networks. Most sites will only list these coupons, however this is only a small part of all coupons out there. Read the rest of this entry »

foldier sPress is a content publishing application built on top of foldier that allows users to publish content aggregated from the Internet. It is like a combination of blogging and twittering.
It is called sPressing.
