Utilize the Internet


This blog is not just to pound you with self improvement articles and tell you how to live your life. I designed this to help you and show you what helps me in all aspects of my life. I also just want to show you some cool stuff. That is why this post is dedicated to showing you the five coolest things I have found on the internet and why.

1.) http://www.evernote.com/

This innovative idea allows people to store anything they find on the internet into an easy to view folder. It allows pictures you take with your phone to even be placed in the folder. It helps you in remembering everything you could want. Check out the video to learn more about how it works.

2.) http://twitter.com/

Before you jump me on talking about twitter, hear me out. Twitter is not the same as status update on facebook. The idea of twitter is not to tell people that “You just picked up your kids from school. They are so wonderful.” No one cares. Twitter should be looked at in a professional sense. It doesn’t come with all the info about you. People already know about you if they decide to follow you. The idea is to share what you know in 140 characters so that others who are already interested can view the same articles as you and hear what you are up to business wise. Every now and then you can tell people that “Your at the baseball game” or “Just aced a test” but if you never share links to cool websites your just describing your day, and face it most people don’t care how others days went.

3.) http://www.t-nation.com/

As I have mentioned in past articles, I recently lost over 50 lbs. This website was one of the reasons why. Most lose weight and just looked skinny. They don’t have the ripped body they really want. This website brings together the best trainers from all around the world, to talk about the keys to building muscles and the six pack of your dreams. It has a great forum as well, where you can talk to others and get advice about anything.

4.) http://digg.com/

This website brings together people from all around the world to talk about what’s hot on the internet. The most enjoyable articles are read and people decide if they want to share them with others by clicking the digg button usually found at the bottom of the article. If enough people digg the article digg.com places the article on the front page, so you can see what the rest of the world is viewing.

5.) http://www.hulu.com/

Pretty simple idea behind this in that you can watch your favorite or unseen T.V. show anytime you want. Virtually anything on T.V. is on this website. You can even watch movies that are shown on T.V. which change regularly. With this website you can stay productive then once you get some free time you can catch up on your favorite shows.
