Google Buzz Off

So Google has thrown its hat into the social media arena by introducing Google Buzz which, simply put, is an update-type system similar to Twitter inside your Gmail account. So if you use Gmail on a daily basis to chat with friends, you can now post status updates for all your friends to see.

There has been mixed reviews in the internet world about whether or not there is room for yet another social service and if Google is trying to either beat out Facebook and Twitter, or join them. Only time will tell, so in the meantime you can either use Buzz or not…I mean it’s right underneath “Inbox” in you Gmail so how can you avoid it!?

Check out this video Google created about Google Buzz:

 

So go ahead and follow me on Google Buzz!

Secure password of the week

Yes, even I am a victim of having my internet accounts hacked. Although no system is 100% perfect, there are key ways to make the password(s) you use daily much stronger and much more difficult for hackers to figure out. If you use Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc., these steps for a better and more secure password will help you sleep at night knowing your accounts are safe. I recommend changing your passwords at least every 90 days, especially if you had a virus on your computer recently.

If you have an Android phone, chances are you have already visited the Market to browse through the latest applications for your phone. With over 8,000 apps to choose from, you will be looking for long time!

I decided to list the Top 5 Twitter apps for Android since there are so many to choose from on the Market. Not all Twitter apps are created equal!

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use your printer from your laptop or netbook without having to connect it directly with the USB? It’s possible to do this without even buying a wireless printer! As long as you have already successfully connected your laptop and/or netbook to your desktop computer you are all set.

Facebook recently updated the Home Page with new features. I go over the new changes in this video.

I hope you enjoy the first in a long line of video tutorials by PCSwizz! This video is an introduction to Windows 7. Recorded in HD!


Facebook has started rolling out new changes as of today to a small number of users. TechCrunch reports that Facebook is overhauling the home page with new features such as the ability to send messages directly from your home screen via pop up window and placing more emphasis on the search bar.
