K9 Web Protection keeps your child safe on the internet








K9 Web Protection gives you peace of mind when it comes to the World Wide Web and your children. I've been using it for a while now, and I have to safe it works really well. You have options to filter the times they can surf, the level of protection, and what types of websites or specific sites you choose to block.

If you child tries to do something they shouldn't K9 stops them, and sends you an email informing you of the incident. Of course the best thing its free. So if your in need of internet filtering then K9 just may be for you.

Privnote







If you have ever watched a re-run of the original Mission Impossible, then you know in the beginning of the show after the mission was received the tape would say " This message will self destruct in 5 secs". Well Privnote gives you something similar. It allows you to send a message to someone that you may not want to pass through email, and soon as they close out the window the link is destroyed and works no more. Privnotes Privacy Policy states (Notes are stored encrypted in our database which assures that nobody (including our administrators) can read them. This implies that there is no way to recover a note if the link is lost but, at the same time, it protects our users' privacy, which is our biggest concern and main priority.)

Now it doesn't stop the recipient from copying and pasting the note, but at least your not passing something through email that your I.T guys at work could read. You can also check a box that will let you know if the note has been read or not. Have some fun and give it a try.

Your Version- information like you want it

Your Version is a new search engine that tries to take all of the things you like about the web and combine them into one (searching for news, RSS feeds, web alerts, Twitter). Then it narrows down the web to the things you are most interested in. You have options for bookmarking and sharing, and connecting to some of your favorite things like Twitter and Facebook. I'm still checking it out, but if it lives up to the hype it may be another tool I use to gather information.

Google Supports the Military






Google Voice has been highly anticipated for the last few months, but the only problem you had to sign up and get on a waiting list to get a number. For those of you unfamiliar with Google Voice please read my past post(Google Voice Changing the Game) Well now in an effort to support our men and women in uniform Google will give anyone a number with a .mil address. Google Voice allows you to consolidate all your phones into one number. So based on your preferences when someone calls your GV number you can set it to ring your cell,office and home all at once. Or send all calls to voice mail. You can also retrieve your voicemail messages online.

GV also gives you the ability to send and receive text messages online, and get ride of telemarketers by sending those calls to spam (or anyone else you don't want to talk to). Next time they call they will think your number is disconnected. When overseas you could dial into your GV number and check your messages. Then make multiple calls within the GV system without having to hang up. This will save you a lot of time when trying to reach out to family members while deployed. Having just returned from Iraq myself this year, I can tell you first hand the Google Voice is a great service with more improvements to come. So sign up here GVMilSignup and start enjoying Google Voice. I forgot its Free!
