A Question I Get Frequently…

People ask me all the time if I can show them a way or a product they can use to directly download YouTube videos or Google videos for use in their PowerPoint presentations. I think I’ve found a solution for Mac users.

Here’s what they say about the product verbatim:

“Movavi Flash Converter for Mac - the ideal tool for downloading video from YouTube, Google and other popular video-sharing websites and converting Flash (.flv) videos to any format for any device. Now you can download and convert your online video favorites on your Mac! “

Look at the link below for more You can apparently get a Free Trial as well.
Movavi Flash Converter for Mac Personal ($39.99)

If anyone tries this program out or one of their PC versions, and it works well, I’d love to hear your feedback.

Thanks! Nan@BB

Outlook Social Connector is pretty cool stuff

A lot of people don’t even know this snazzy little program exists but would surely use it if they could. It essentially shows you in Outlook what all your Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace people are posting and so much more. You should start by taking a look at the Microsoft Casual Blog videos (short and sweet here) and downloading the files if you want this cool feature in Outlook. I know it makes my life easier to look at all emails, tweets, posts etc. right from within Outlook instead of going to different sites.

Another new feature I’ll be starting on my website is a tech reviews page for software programs and other gadgets I use. I often receive lots of questions from individuals about the best program that can be used to edit videos for business or classes (without being too techy to do it) and I thought folks might find that useful.

I’ve also started to put together a Text Based Site Menu again, but only about 60% of all the pages are currently there – but you may find it useful as well.

Take it easy!

Apologies and a cool new download!

Sorry for the blog post which didn’t work at all for all of you yesterday! My bad. :)

Let me make it up to you by giving you a cool new download from Microsoft – absolutely free: the Outlook Attachment Detector (an add-in) looks in the text of emails for any attachments you may have mentioned and prompts you if by chance you forgot to actually attach something. It’s from Microsoft Labs and available from this page.

Microsoft Labs is much like Google Labs where you can go download and play with the latest greatest tekkie toys.

Enjoy and please share with others who may feel benefit…

I hear you loud and clear that some of you cannot access Facebook and our Fan site from where you work. So I will make every effort to post daily freebies at this blog as well. Have a happy week, all!

Summer Hiatus

Hello All,

It's been a bit of a hiatus for me - computer problems and getting Office 2010 installed and working. Now, all is well and fixed and next week I will be back to regular posts. Hope your summer is going fine. I am still posting daily on the Facebook Fan page and you can get the latest downloads, tutorials and more there.

High Degree of Frustration with Office 2010 Installation

I am having such an incredibly high degree of frustration with installing Office 2010 Home and Business edition. I'm getting considerable errors over and over again - from the installation not recognizing a Q drive to errors for Click to Run to all kinds of other annoyances. Right now, I don't have Office and can't use it. Do NOT buy this software yet. My recommendation is to wait awhile.

Thanks, BB
