Need to convert your docx file?

Ok, so I thought media-convert.com could do it. Tough luck (for now). Perhaps sometime soon. So I fired up the trusty search engine. You should know by now.

After unsuccessfully trying out at least 3 online file converters, I realized I needed something better than a service that requires a fee for a year's worth of file conversion service. Then I discovered Zamzar.com. Price per month FREE, Maximum file size: 100 MB. You'd need to shell out money for anything beyond that though. Guess that doesn't apply to me.

What happens when you cross IM, Mindmap & voice?

You'll have a "shared, visual workspace. Use it as a collaboration environment, a meeting room, a personal web-based whiteboard, or something entirely new." That's according to Emily Chang in a November 6, 2006 post.

Then I discovered something entirely new: online tutorial. Check it out to get a flavor of thinkature.com.

Note: I just realized I had already bumped into it sometime in 2007 in the context of the "Sociology of Web 2.0." Thanks to the predictive feature of tags in blogger.com.

If only the real John McCain had been running

This is something I gathered recently from The Economist.

My 2 cents: OK, so in 3 days someone big gets elected. But whether it's Obama or McCain wouldn't seem to make much of a difference. It's the global economy, stupid! Then again, perhaps I'm looking for a superhero?
