Well sort of! I’ve been on a very long vacation from blogging but now I feel ready to get back on track!
Let’s hope I can achieve something new and nice around here!

Email marketing is a strategy that still keeps on growing, I guess it is because of the success it can bring to a business. However it requires a good software or email marketing company to really get it as good as possible.

If you are interested in Email Marketing, you might want to check out ViperMailer. It is a web based email marketing software that allows you to manage contact lists, the ability to upload your own email contacts, choose one of 70 premade templates or upload your own, the ability to schedule your messages and the feature to track your open rates and link click throughs to your website.

Basically everything you need to start off good with email marketing!

Who would have thought this a couple of years ago? That Firefox 3 Downloads Set Guinness World Record! Over 8 million software downloads in 24 hours!

It is really amazing. Congratulations to Mozilla! One step closer to kill Explorer I guess. I’m looking forward to see them in the next Guinness book that my brother buys each year. However, I can’t say I was one of the 8 million people who did download Firefox that day. I was busy packing all my stuff. A day late actually. But I have to say that I really enjoy the new version!

And, I can’t stop thinking about what next version will bring us

Since I have been away for quite some time I have been worried that my computer would be damaged during the move and that I would loose all my files. However, I decided to use IDrive Online Backup, which is a leading online backup service provider. They offer safe and encrypted online backups up to 2GB for free and 150GB storage for $4.95 per month.

I used the free plan and I’m really satisfied with it. The upload went pretty fast and since I’ve heard so much good about them, it felt comfortable to leave the files there.

They also have other features that I’m going to use when I’ve unpacked my new desk and installed both of my computers. Some of them are real time backup of frequently changing data, scheduled backup which is really nifty, ability to manage multiple accounts from one main admin account, supports backup of mapped drives and file versioning with file/document history retention for up to 30 backed up versions.

Another good feature that I really like is that IDrive also provides browser access to the backed up data with amazingly fast searching options. So if I’m at work I can easily access my files, useful for my mini-emergencies!

IDrive has also been awarded the PCWORLD ‘101 best freebies’ award which I think they really deserve!

Sorry for my absence! I’ve been pretty busy with my offline life (who thought I would have one?). I have moved to another city and worked my ass of at my “regular job”. Things are going smooth. And it will get even better once I’ve settled in properly in the new apartment. I don’t even have a kitchen table yet!

So much has happened online since I was active the last time. You never really can be away since you would miss out on so much. A new WordPress version is out for example. I never thought it would go so fast since the 2.5 upgrade still feels like yesterday for me…

So how do you guys like the upgrade so far?
