What's happening at Revision Technology?
Welcome Revisionaries!
We're just getting started, and we couldn't have picked a better time. I can just feel the love in the air.
February, the month of cupid shooting arrows, little candies that say I love you, and creative presents for that special someone. So, what happens when you're working so hard that, well, you forget about Valentine's Day? Well we are excited to let you know that we've started development this month on a simple, light-weight to-do list that can run as a widget for both Windows and Mac OSX, but can also be used on any PDA. We're still working out the specifics, but what's exciting is that, yes... it will be FREE! It may not be here for this Valentine's Day, but in the future will help you last minute, um, I'll just pick up some flowers from the guy at the corner on the way home, Valentine's guys.
Our blog is in development and we will have a link there in the March issue. The case study, of our project will be available for download once the project is complete.
In this article we will discuss the Firefox browser, tips and tricks with Google, e-mail auto-responders and the top five internet nerd Valentine's gifts.
Michael: I've really got a gadget addiction problem.
Browser Wars:
The Firefox Browser
Congratulations to the Firefox project, which just topped 491 million downloads and 32% of the internet browser share! Firefox brings to the table alot of features to enhance your browsing experience. Let's start with the different editions.
The eBay edition brings an eBay sidebar that provides quick access and real-time updates on items that users have bid on, are selling, or currently watching. While snacking on chips and watching YouTube, you can also be alerted of status changes, including outbid notices. EBay search and support for the eBay Account Guard is also built in. Use this link to see it in action: Here
The Campus Edition brings great features for, well you guessed it, students! The FoxyTunes plugin allows control of just about any media player from inside your browser. I've tried it personally with ITunes and it works great! Also, you have one click action to StumbleUpon. If you don't know about StumbleUpon, please check it out. I found a video of an amazing monkey that's sure to leave you scratching your head. Last but not least is the Zotero extension that helps you to collect and manage your research sources. The extension is great for you English majors and invaluable for thesis writing research.
Regardless of the edition, Firefox is in our view the best browsing experience today. With add-ons such as themes, dictionaries, and of course our favorite Firebug, Firefox provides a step up from the others out there.
Valencia: Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.

Really handy for web site owners, auto-responders give your clients and prospects alike, the assurance that their email didn't wind up in cyberspace somewhere. They are especially helpful around the holidays to let contacts know if you're out of town, and when to expect a response. The webmasters here at Revision Technology use auto-responders in a few ways.
