Too Busy To Read It Now? Save It For Later with Instapaper
21 Apr 2011 by Andrew Kalinchuk / 2 Comments
As a writer, I do my best to stay current by reading every website on the Internet. Yes, I set my goals high. But thanks to my existing social life and personal endeavors, I am not always at home with my computer and Internet connection readily available to me. Believe it. That is why I am an avid user of Instapaper, which the website describes perfectly as “a simple tool to save web pages for ...

Convert Web Pages to PDF, Quickly and Easily
18 Apr 2011 by Scott Nesbitt / 1 Comment
Even though we live in an increasingly digital world, many people still can’t let go of paper. Look around any office (even your home office) and you’ll see a hard copy of some content from one website or another. The next time you’re on public transit, take a peek at your fellow passengers; chances are at least one of them is reading a printed web page. But if you look closely a...

14 Apr 2011 by Kate Bedrick
If you’re like many of my Twitter friends, or about 70% of the Techerator staff, you have a default Twitter background. There’s nothing wrong with it, unless you want the same unique look as 80 million other people in the Twitterverse.

How To: Import E-Books Into Aldiko for Android Using Dropbox
05 Apr 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 2 Comments
It’s been nearly a year since I last wrote about Aldiko, and while the E-book market on Android has exploded since then I still consider Aldiko to be the best reader out there. E-book powerhouses like Amazon and Barnes and Noble have both launched reader applications of their own, but they both lack a seemingly critical feature: the ability to import your own E-books to read.

Why I Left LastPass for 1Password
21 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 130 Comments
There are very simple reasons why password security is so important: 1) We can now access most of our private, confidential information online (bank accounts, email, and social networks), and 2) We’re lazy. I’m not trying to make anyone feel bad with that last point. I’m really lazy, too. For years, I used only a few passwords and rarely changed them. It doesn’t take a lon...

Three simple ways to back up your tweets

Or maybe it was a link to an interesting article or website. But once those 140 characters get mixed up in that sea of tweets you might as well kiss them goodbye. Or maybe not. While you can’t save your tweets from within Twitter itself, the...
