In the past articles I wrote about using a dual monitors configuration, we have discussed ways to do so moreproductive, what programs can help, and different types of users. Through writing those articles, I have come to realize that there are basically two approaches to making use of dual monitors: having a major and minor monitor and having two equal monitors. Let me explain what I mean.
Some people (like me) prefer to have one monitor set directly in front of them and they use it for the main tasks. They have the second monitor either set to the side or above the main monitor and use it for minor tasks such as referencing and background tasks such as playing music, etc. Personally, I use it for both plus I toss stuff onto the minor monitor that I want to read later and bring them to the main one when I’m ready to tackle them.
Other people like to use both monitors equally and have a dual monitor configuration where they are positioned more equally in front of them. They could have two very important tasks that they need to do simultaneously. I suppose a designer could have tools on one site and a view of the project on the other. Some people may even have something they’re working on span both monitors.
What I did was scour Flickr to find examples of both approaches to making use of dual monitors. Let’s take a look and see how it’s done.
1. The Major and Minor Monitor Approach
It appears that nicksieger is using one monitor as the main workstation. Notice that the keyboard, mouse and light are centered over it and how the second monitor is off to the side. I’m not totally sure what’s going on but the main monitor seems to have some sort of coding but I don’t know about the second monitor. Either way, it’s off to the side in more of a referencing or glancing position.
Andy Beal’s setup has one monitor set to one side in order to keep an eye on social media, etc. and has some browsing going on with the main monitor. While I do rely on browser plugins (namely Chromed Bird) to keep up with my Twitter fetish, having a secondary monitor to keep an eye on Facebook is very helpful. Andy seems to be doing something similar.
2. The Two Equal Monitors Approach
smemon87’s setup is a good example of an equal monitor approach. He is doing what I do when using WordPress: use one for blogging and the other for previewing. Basically, if you hit the “Preview” button, you get another tab opening to preview the article. Pop it into its own window onto the second monitor and it’ll refresh whenever you hit “Preview” again. Very cool!
memoreks seems to be doing the “browsing in one and email in the other” thing. For me, I’d have to do one of these at a time. Basically that’s why I prefer one monitor to be dominant. If I’m browsing, I’ll pop the browser into the main monitor. If I’m working on an email, I’ll switch that program over. Some people prefer to have them both on an even playing field and that’s OK too.
There you have it, both basic approaches with some good examples of each. Which approach do you prefer? Or would you rather have both monitors so close it seems they’re looking back at you? Like tmray02’s setup here.

Advertisers and marketers must be wary of fraud or deceptive practices committed by their affiliates, and even spammers or adware servers that they have no working relationships with, an attorney with the New York State Attorney General’s office said Tuesday at a lecture in New York sponsored by TRUSTe and the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
Ken Dreifach, chief of the Internet bureau in the New York State Attorney General’s office, said that even advertisers with layers of affiliate networks, sub-affiliate networks, and independent contractors can still be found liable if any link in the chain is found to have acted illegally. “You don’t want to ever assume that the existence of intermediaries, whether it’s two or six, is going to immunize you from liability,” he said.
Dreifach’s comments come at a time when consumer advocates and government watchdogs are increasingly targeting marketers that finance potentially problematic advertising methods. Last week, the non-profit Center for Democracy and Technology issued a report naming several of the large marketers to advertise on pop-ups served by adware company 180solutions–which the CDT has accused of turning a blind eye to distribution practices that result in adware installed without consumers’ permission.
FTC Commissioner Jonathan Leibowitz also stated in February that the agency was considering whether to name the marketers who use adware. “A little shaming here might go a long way,” he told an audience at a conference organized by the Anti-Spyware Coalition and Center for Democracy and Technology.
Dreifach said that a marketer’s liability could extend even to companies with which the advertiser has no business relationship at all. Apparent agents–spammers or adware companies using a brand’s name in a fraudulent fashion–could potentially result in accusations against the marketer.
To avoid liability, Dreifach recommended that companies perform due diligence in examining the practices of their affiliates, sub-affiliates, and independent contractors. He suggested “seeding” e-mail lists with company addresses to ensure that the lists aren’t being resold or spammed by mailers using false headers or sender IDs, and that companies download adware clients they contract to ensure their customers aren’t being bombarded with ads.
“If you are sending stuff onto a consumer’s computer, it’s your responsibility to make sure the software you’re using belongs there,” he said. “And you want to avoid accepting benefits based on fraud or deception that you know about.”
Dreifach mentioned e-mail marketing company Datran Media, which earlier this month agreed to pay $1.1 million to settle a breach of privacy investigation by Spitzer’s office. Datran was under investigation for allegedly obtaining 6 million e-mail addresses from Gratis Internet and sending messages to those in-boxes, even though Gratis had promised consumers it wouldn’t share their addresses. Spitzer’s office sued Gratis for allegedly selling consumer data; Gratis denied the charges.
