Send out your business card via SMS with Contxts.com
Monday, March 30th, 2009 | Beta, Business, SMS, Unusual, Utilities | No Comments
Here’s something cool a came across the other day, it’s a service that will send out your business card via SMS message on demand. That’s right, for any time when you’ve either been caught without a business card or just want sure your number got entered correctly into their phone, this is for you. It’s still in beta so features like having your own user profile are not yet enabled, but the good news is that it’s free while they’re still working out the kinks.
Here’s how it works, you setup whatever information you’d like to be part of your digital ‘business card” and then you’re done. Really, that’s it to participate in this program. And it’s free.
To send someone your business card via SMS, you either tell them to send a txt with your username to 50500 or you can do it yourself by texting “send 3034759204” to 50500 with the 3034759204 being the your new friend.
I can’t imagine sending a potential client or business partner this as a way of contacting me after our initial meeting, but as far as getting your phone number and a brief self-written bio into someone’s phone, this could be great for any after-hours networking.
go check it out for yourself while it’s still free – http://contxts.com
YouTube EDU and Twitter Added To YouTube.com
Friday, March 27th, 2009 | News, Twitter, Video, WebApps | No Comments
Youtube.com has just recently released a new section of their site devoted to videos from educational sources. They’ve named it YouTube EDU and you can find it by following the link. Pretty much if you’ve ever wanted to find a lecture or speech given in any sort of collegiate atmosphere, this would be the place to go.
In addition to adding YouTubeEDU, they’ve also added a new feature throughout the video sharing site, a “share to Twitter,” link allowing you to ‘tweet’ any video with just one click. I guess for those of you who share videos on twitter frequently, this will save you from having to do your normal copy + paste.

Google.com Shows Up As Malware!

This morning it seems that all of a sudden every result in the US-based Google.com search engine now is tagged as being Malware, even prompting users to not visit the site due to potential harm to their computer. This includes searches for Google.com (which also for some reason are showing Google ads in Spanish).
Google Fail.
Happy New Years – Google Updated Their Toolbar PageRank
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 | google, News, Site Information, Software Update | No Comments
I know that I’m a few hours early for most of you but I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Years! Apparently Google wanted to get in on the celebration as they’ve just recently (sometime in the past 24 hours) updated the Google Toolbar PageRank. Don’t get too excited now kids, this isn’t that big of a news announcement….the Toolbar PageRank is considered by most to be outdated pretty much the moment that it updates. Bummed out? You shouldn’t be, it’s only one of hundreds of factors that Google takes into account in their ranking algorithm.
The entire crew over here at AddTo10.com would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy NYE….. Happy New Year!
The Addicted To 1s and 0s team will be on vacation/haitus until January 10th but we hope you’ll come and visit us once we get back from a much needed vacation….cheers!
