3 Chrome Extensions For Gmail That Help You Use Email Quickly


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/00_chrome_icon.jpg"/>Call it sheer laziness. Lately, with the amount of emailing I have to do, I find it a chore to open up Gmail and compose an email. What I needed was a productivity hack that could short circuit the process for me by a few seconds (even that infinitesimal amount helps!).

In my meandering through the href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore">Chrome Web Store, I found three Chrome extensions designed for Gmail that looked like a perfect productivity hack to defeat my inertia. Of course, to complement my Gmail user experience, I was also armed with the recommendations given by Matt when he talked about href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-cool-google-chrome-extensions-gmail-users/">6 Cool Google Chrome Extensions for Gmail Users.

If you are as conscious about your ‘laze times’ as me, I am sure you will like these three Chrome extensions for the Gmail user.

href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dgkkmcknielgdhebimdnfahpipajcpjn">Mailto:Gmail

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/chrome-gmail01.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="321" />

This is the simplest extension of the trio. All it does is make mailto: links open in a new Gmail compose window. By default, if you click on a mailto: link, your default email client will get triggered. The Chrome extension circumvents that by opening the link in a new window with the Gmail sign-in. The subject and body will be populated by the text defined in the HTML tag by the website. If you are signed-in, then of course, you don’t have to enter your log-in details again and again. The extension requires a Chrome restart to work.

href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pgphcomnlaojlmmcjmiddhdapjpbgeoc">Send From Gmail

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/chrome-gmail02.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="461" />

We have talked about this Chrome extension for Gmail in the href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/4-ways-set-gmail-default-email-default-browser/">4 Ways to Set Gmail as Your Default Email in Your Browser. It’s a step forward from our last extension as it opens up a Gmail compose window for you and also provides the extra button that will create a Gmail message when clicked. It opens up your signed-in Gmail account in a new window, uses the webpage title you are on as the subject of the email and the URL as the body of the email. It’s a quick way to share webpage links using your Gmail. Clicking a mailto: link opens up a compose window without any of those contents. You might need to restart your browser for the extension to take effect.

href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kfhbeoladmfbfpmdobbakmokhlniaodg">OmniMail

OmniMail for Gmail is just about the best Chrome extension if you want rapid-fire email productivity from the address bar. Or at least it’s the best of this trio until a better one comes along. Here’s how it works: Start typing mail in the Chrome address bar and the OmniMail for Gmail activates. When it does so for the first time, it asks permission to access your Gmail address book.

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/chrome-gmail03.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="292" />

Once granted, an input of mail <email address> and hitting Enter will open up the Gmail compose window within Gmail itself in a new tab.

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/chrome-gmail04.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="207" />

Typing mail and pressing Tab also gives you one touch access to OmniMail commands like de-authorizing it from accessing your contacts or sending an email to the contact.

OmniMail auto-suggests email contacts in the dropdown just like Gmail. You can enter multiple email addresses by separating them with a comma. OmniMail is an href="https://github.com/harpyon/OmniMail">Open Source project.

These three extensions are browser specific and bypass your default email client like Thunderbird or Outlook as long as you are on Chrome. Let us know if you think that these href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/chrome-extensions/">Chrome extensions help you hack your email productivity.

    4 Ways To Quickly Identify Your Favorite Web Page Fonts


    class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/intro1e.jpg" alt="web page fonts" />We have gone over some elegant looking href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-top-5-best-online-sources-for-fonts/">free fonts href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-cool-free-computer-fonts-stand/">here ready to be used in any of your projects, but many new fonts are born every so often thanks to talented artists. You can spot them in new web app logos, magazines, food packages, etc.

    How do you find out what font these texts are so you can use them? Here are a few services that can help you identify the particular web page font you’re looking at and make the process more automated than anything and less painful.

    For Web Designers/Developers: href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug

    class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/1e.png" alt="web page fonts" />

    Firebug started as a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/">Firefox addon that bundles many web development tools and lets you debug and edit CSS, HTML, and JavaScript in any webpage. Back in March of 2009, it was still a Firefox-exclusive tool. We had published an article on href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-firebug-for-browsers-other-than-firefox/">how to install Firebug on IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera, but with the rave reviews Firebug received, this great tool is now available for other browsers as a bookmarklet called href="http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite">Firebug Lite and also a  href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bmagokdooijbeehmkpknfglimnifench">Chrome extension.

    While not a complete substitute for the Firefox addon, this Lite bookmarklet has replicated many of the functionalities available on the addon. Even the physical appearance bears resemblances that you almost can’t tell you’re not using Firefox. But since Firebug Lite isn’t exactly the same thing, the author’s website does recommend to use the bookmarklet in conjunction with Chrome Developer Tools if you’re using href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bmagokdooijbeehmkpknfglimnifench">Google Chrome.

    Anyhow, once you have the bookmarklet or the Chrome extension and you see text with an unknown font you love, you can highlight the words, press on the bookmarklet link, head to the HTML tab on the main left pane, and then the Computed tab on the right column to see the font name, family, size, weight, etc.

    While Firebug is nice and dandy for web developers, if you’re not a web designer, there’s a simpler way to quickly find the font family of some text.

    Quick & Neat Way For Any Typography Enthusiast: href="http://chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html">WhatFont

    WhatFont consists of a neat bookmarklet that, once activated, you can hover over any text and immediately get a very nice-looking overlay which pops up with the name of the font. Once you click it, you’ll see additional details about the font. To go back to regular surfing mode without the overlays, just click on the top right corner that says Exit WhatFont.

    Just like Firebug Lite, WhatFont understandably cannot make out the font from images, but at least it notifies you when it might be inaccurate.

    class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2.png" border="0" alt="web fonts" width="529" height="667" />

    If you’re not a web developer or designer, but just a casual typography enthusiast, WhatFont is a perfect, neat and quick way to get font details.

    Identifying Fonts In Images: href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/">WhatTheFont & href="http://www.whatfontis.com/">WhatFontIs

    class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/31.png" border="0" alt="web fonts" width="584" height="535" />

    You can always ask in typography expert forums for help href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/find-font-love-whatthefont/">identifying a web page font, but you should only try that if you’ve used WhatTheFont as it’s really easy to use. Just get a PNG screenshot of some text in the font you adore with the least white space possible and upload the image or paste the image URL. Now just type or correct the letters that WhatTheFont highlights in the next screen, leaving any incomplete characters’ text boxes blank, and that’s it.

    You may not always get the same exact font, but usually there are many closely related fonts that WhatTheFont will present for you. In my tests, the one font that WhatTheFont couldn’t exactly find, an expert in the very helpful forum identified it in less than 24 hours.

    href="http://www.whatfontis.com/">WhatFontIs, formerly known as href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/identifyfonts-identify-fonts-from-a-sample/">IdentifyFonts, is similar to WhatTheFont in that you it helps you href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/find-font-easily-free/">identify fonts from an image. On this site, you also upload an image, identify highlighted characters, and get a list of fonts resembling the ones in your image. One difference is that during the character selection step, you can choose to see all results, only commercial fonts or just free ones. You also get the license detail in the results list to save you time.

    class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/52.jpg" border="0" alt="web page fonts" width="584" height="658" />

    href="http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2008/12/7-free-tools-to-identify-a-font/">Web Designer Depot has a list of font-identifying tools, but the ones on here require the least manual work. You can always href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-cool-interesting-web-applications-fonts-typography/">learn typography altogether, or also train your eyes to identify properties of fonts with href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/fonttrainer-common-font-types/">FontTrainer to not have to rely on these tools.

    Instead of identifying web page fonts made by other people, you can also href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/two-free-tools-to-make-your-very-own-fonts/">make your very own fonts with these free tools.

    How To Quickly Find Your Email Attachments In Gmail


    class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gmail-attachments.png" alt="email attachments" width="210" height="210" />There are plenty of reasons to love class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/gmail/">Gmail: completely free features, plenty of storage space, free POP3 access to your email as well as free offline access to your email messages via the IMAP route, and many other awesome great options.

    As the search geek, there’s one thing I really appreciate: the ability to use very flexible (advanced) search features to go through thousands of email messages stored for years in one place. I am not geeky (and probably organized) enough to synchronize my email efficiently when moving from computer to computer or to make and update my backup, and (I realize that might be my mistake) I have been used to relying on Gmail for years.

    This post looks at one of Gmail life-saving features: the option to store and search through tons of email with attachments for you to be able to:

    id="more-63422">

    • Quickly and efficiently find email attachments (even if you can hardly remember the file name, the sender name, the date when you received the email, etc).
    • Free up some space (yes, storage space is huge but not unlimited. In case you have ever sent or received high resolution photographs, videos or large database files, you may want to delete them to save on space).

    Search For Email With Attachments

    There are several ways to search for attachments in Gmail using class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/search-emails-gmail/">Gmail advanced search operators:

    • has:attachment – This one filters emails to only those that have anything attached.
    • has:attachment doc – This one filters emails to only those that have .doc files attached.
    • filename:.doc – Works almost exactly as the above one (but this one is the class="vt-p" href="https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=7190">documented operator for searching attachment types).
      • Note: filename: already implies that there should be an attachment included, so you don’t need to use has:attachment together with it.
      • Note: a dot is not required before the file extension: filename:.doc = filename:doc
    • filename:google*.doc – This one filters emails to only those that have doc files attached and these files have [google] in the beginning of the name (whereas filename:*google*.doc searches for messages that have documents attached with “google” mentioned somewhere in the middle of the file name).
    • filename:.doc OR filename:.html – This one filters emails to only those that have either .doc or .html files attached (or both).
    • filename:.doc AND filename:.html- This one filters emails to only those that have both .doc or .html files attached.
    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gmail-attachments-03.jpg" alt="email attachments" width="353" height="244" />

    See What’s Attached From Search Results

    Now that we know how to locate our email attachments, let’s learn to cope with one inconvenience: you have no idea what is attached until you enter the actual message scroll down and see the attached file names.

    class="vt-p" href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/75047">Pimp My Gmail is an awesome Greasemonkey script that lets you quickly see what is attached without the need to click away from Gmail search results. The script is compatible with Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

    Note: The script has a lot more features to customize your Gmail but I am only using it for the sake of the attachment feature.

    With the script installed, you will be able to see:

    1. An icon representing the attached file extension right in the email list;
    2. The actual file names attached (on hover over):
    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gmail-attachments-04.jpg" alt="how to find email attachments" width="550" height="288" />

    Locate Your Largest Email Attachments: Find Big Mail

    class="vt-p" href="https://www.findbigmail.com/">Find Big Mail is a free service that lets you sort your email by size. It does require access to your Gmail account (using Gmail OAuth, so as far as I understand, it doesn’t store your Gmail password and you can make sure the class="vt-p" href="https://www.findbigmail.com/news/27/57/How-do-I-uninstall-or-remove-FindBigMail-access-to-my-email-account">access is removed immediately after you use it in your Gmail account).

    After you grant access to your Gmail account, the tool will immediately start scanning your messages. It may take some time. Once it’s done, you’ll receive an email notification which brings you to the stats page:

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gmail-attachments-01.jpg" alt="how to find email attachments" width="540" height="238" />

    What you can do now is log into your Gmail interface, click through your full label list and find some new labels created by FindBigMail app. The labels will organize your largest emails by size:

    • Top (the largest emails).
    • 2mb’ messages are larger than 2,000,000 bytes.
    • 500kb’ messages are between 500,000 and 2,000,000 bytes.
    • 100kb’ messages are between 100,000 and 500,000 bytes.
    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gmail-attachments-02.jpg" alt="email attachments" width="494" height="207" />

    Click on each label to view the large messages. Then follow these Gmail  class="vt-p" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=7401">instructions to remove the mail you no longer want. Be sure to empty the Trash using “Delete Forever” if you need to free up the space immediately. Otherwise it will automatically be removed in 30 days time.

    Otherwise, consider using class="vt-p" href="http://www.labnol.org/software/delete-large-email-attachments-in-gmail/9564/">this smart way to locate your largest messages (be sure to use the has:attachment filter if you have too many emails stored in your account to make it work).

    Orbs: An Online Tool To Quickly Create Beautiful Websites – No Web Design Skill Needed


    class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/00-My-Home-Page.jpg" border="0" alt="00 My Home Page.jpg" width="250" height="173" />The Internet has already become an inseparable part of our life, so I guess by now everybody understands the importance of a web presence. You can’t call yourself a netizen without a net property: your own website. But even though website building is getting easier by the day and there are more and more class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/website-builder/">web builders available, internet newbies are still reluctant to try to build their own websites.

    One of the major hindrances that stops these newbies from progressing is the lack of confidence. They feel that web building requires a high level of skill, and they don’t have what it takes.

    class="vt-p" href="http://orbs.com/">Orbs is a web tool that will allow anybody to build and modify their own websites just by clicking and editing. The process is like creating a new document using a ready-made template: click on an area, edit the text, and save.

    You don’t need to sign up to try the web tool, just click on the “Try Demo” button to start. However, you need to sign up and sign in to save your work later.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/02-Orb.jpg" border="0" alt="02 Orb.jpg" width="510" height="280" />

    The first step of designing your website is literally “click to edit”.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/02b-Getting-Started.jpg" border="0" alt="02b Getting Started.jpg" width="580" height="380" />

    An editing tool bar will appear on the upper area of the page to assist you with the editing process: type, replace, delete, and other basic editing processes.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/02c-Editing-Page.jpg" border="0" alt="02c Editing Page.jpg" width="580" height="400" />

    The editing tools range from the basic ones like Bold, Italic, Bullets and Numbers; to the more advanced ones like Link Insert, Tables and HTML Codes.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/02d-More-Tools.jpg" border="0" alt="02d More Tools.jpg" width="580" height="170" />

    Don’t forget to save any changes that you made to your page by clicking the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/02e-Save-Changes.jpg" border="0" alt="02e Save Changes.jpg" width="580" height="257" />

    On the right side of the screen, there is the tool to add a Page and SubPage.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/03a-Add-Page.jpg" border="0" alt="03a Add Page.jpg" width="340" height="160" />

    There’s also the “Page Setting” tool under “Add“.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/03b-Edit-Page.jpg" border="0" alt="03b Edit Page.jpg" width="320" height="220" />

    Adding pictures is also easy. The “Adding picture” button is located on the editing toolbar on the right. Click on that button and you can add pictures from your hard drive to be uploaded to your site.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/04a-Adding-Image.jpg" border="0" alt="04a Adding Image.jpg" width="580" height="381" />

    Similar to other pages, you can also edit the text on this photo page. Again, don’t forget to save the changes.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/04b-Example-Photo.jpg" border="0" alt="04b Example Photo.jpg" width="580" height="450" />

    Saving Your Work

    So far, we were playing on the demo website, all your work is still located in the temporary location and will be removed within 24 hours. To really save your website, you need to click on the big “Keep Site, It’s FREE” button at the top right corner of the page above the editing toolbar.

    A small warning window will pop up notifying you that you will lose any unsaved changes if you leave the page. Since we are going to save the website anyway, just ignore the warning and click on the “OK” button.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/05a-Leave-Page-Warning.jpg" border="0" alt="05a Leave Page - Warning.jpg" width="420" height="229" />

    Give your site a name and click “Next“. This name will be appended to “.orbs.com” and will be the address of your site.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/05b-Give-name.jpg" border="0" alt="05b Give name.jpg" width="580" height="160" />

    Fill in the fields on the “Signup” form and click the “I Accept” button at the bottom. If you already have an account on Orb, you can just sign in.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/05c-Sign-Up.jpg" border="0" alt="05c Sign Up.jpg" width="580" height="410" />

    Modifying Site Design

    We’ve seen the editing process and we know that modifying site content in Orbs is easy. But what about the design? Orbs gives us an easy way to customize the site design. Click the “Design” tab and continue with the “Customize Current Design” button.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/06a-Design.jpg" border="0" alt="06a Design.jpg" width="580" height="322" />

    Click on the element that you want to edit and the option pane will show up. For example, I wanted to edit the header image, so I clicked on the header and the “Header” option pane showed up at the bottom of the page. There are lots of header images that users can choose, grouped into several categories.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/06b-Custom-Header.jpg" border="0" alt="06b Custom Header.jpg" width="580" height="190" />

    Users can also add text to their images by clicking on the “Add Text” button above.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/06d-Add-Text.jpg" border="0" alt="06d Add Text.jpg" width="580" height="250" />

    The header’s text can be customized by changing the font type, color, layout and size using the options pane at the bottom of the screen.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/06f-Customize-Font.jpg" border="0" alt="06f Customize Font.jpg" width="580" height="180" />

    The last item that we should look at is the “Settings“.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/07a-Site-Settings.jpg" border="0" alt="07a Site Settings.jpg" width="580" height="350" />

    The “Site Privacy” menu is the place to determine who can access your site. You can set it to either public or private.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/07b-Settings-Privacy.jpg" border="0" alt="07b Settings - Privacy.jpg" width="580" height="340" />

    The “Users” menu is the place to give access to the people that will collaborate with you in building the site. Unfortunately, this feature is only available for paid users.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/07c-Settings-Users.jpg" border="0" alt="07c Settings - Users.jpg" width="580" height="200" />

    After playing with Orbs for a while, I can say that it’s a great tool for people without web design skills who want to build their own websites quickly and easily. Advanced users can use their expertise to customize their site even further. If you ever need a quick website, Orbs can be an alternative that you can try.

    Reading about the way to do something could never be compared to the actual process of doing it. So, why don’t you try Orbs and then share your stories using the comments below?

    A Brief Overview of Internet Memes & How You Can Quickly Create Your Own


    class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/advicedog.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="199" />Introducing one of the most outlandish, childish and plain silly aspects of online culture – the internet meme. For those of you not familiar with the term, a “meme” is much like an in-joke that gains popularity and establishes itself with a constant stream of derivatives.

    There are an indeterminate amount of internet memes, and a considerable number of websites have sprung up over the years solely to preserve, propagate and generate more of what the online world considers class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-standup-comedy-videos-youtube/">comedy. A great deal of these often turn up in class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tech-fun/">our own Geeky Fun section.

    Some memes are much-loved characters amongst online communities worldwide, so what makes them so funny and why does the internet keep producing more and more?

    id="more-59561">

    Defining Internet Humour

    An internet meme can be as simple as an image with a caption. Provided the concept stays the same between different versions, the fad is continued and the meme in turn grows in popularity and becomes a part of the internet’s culture.

    Other examples include sole passages of text, websites (such as class="vt-p" href="http://yourethemannowdog.com/">YTMND), photos, videos, poorly constructed homepages about ninjas….the list is endless.

    The exact origin of the internet meme is a tough one to call, Many internet imageboards and messageboards act as the spawning ground for new memes, such as the infamous class="vt-p" href="http://4chan.org/">4chan (you have been warned) British-based class="vt-p" href="http://b3ta.com/">b3ta and the “goon army” of class="vt-p" href="http://www.somethingawful.com/">SomethingAwful.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/lolcats.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="362" />

    One of the more recognisable fads of the last few years (that eventually class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Take-Over-Wurld-Icanhascheezeburger-Com/dp/034099469X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290529869&sr=8-1">went mainstream) has to have been LOLCats, which depicted cute fluffy cats and kittens accompanied by bad grammar and awful spelling. The meme originated years ago on 4chan, mainly on Saturdays which the community renamed to “Caturdays” and has pop-culture ties to the classic “Hang in there, Baby!” poster of the 1970′s.

    There is also evidence of companies specifically targeting the internet meme as a way of viral marketing, much like the huge amount of internet gold that greeted the release of “Snakes on a Plane” in 2006. The film’s producers eventually re-shot 5 days worth of footage in the hope of living up to the internet hype that had been generated.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/snakesonaplane.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="489" />

    style="text-align: left;">Many videos that have made it to cult status (and thus are now considered memes in their own right) have spawned a number of “internet celebrities” (and I use the term very loosely). Classic class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-youtube-video-converters/">YouTube material like Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain (below) and Jay Maynard’s debut as The Tron Guy have seen them featured in the offline media, including a South Park episode that featured a collection of classic memes.

    style="text-align: center;"> classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="460" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"> name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EwTZ2xpQwpA" /> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="460" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EwTZ2xpQwpA">

    Cataloging Comedy

    Now that the internet is older, there are an increasing amount of in-jokes to keep track of. Luckily, class="vt-p" href="http://www.knowyourmeme.com/">KnowYourMeme is the website to visit for a brief history on the subject. We’ve already got an article written by Justin dedicated to the site, and you can read that class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/knowyourmeme-encyclopedia-meme/">right here.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Selection_072.png" alt="" width="580" height="318" />

    KnowYourMeme is an organised database of online funnies, which also keeps track of new memes and class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/21-sites-to-find-out-whats-hot-online/">current trends online. Each meme that has been featured comes with a description and additional information surrounding the fad, as well as possible origins and a database of images attached.

    If you’re taking a trip down memory lane then class="vt-p" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_phenomena">Wikipedia has a well-informed list of internet phenomena that is chock-full of memes, jokes and things that only really work online.

    Making Your Own

    If you want to join in the fun then you could always contribute to the web’s growing collection of memes. Most are created in image editing programs like class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/download-idiot-guide-photoshop">Photoshop, class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-beginner-level-video-tutorials-learn-gimp-fast/">The GIMP and even class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/edit-enhance-screenshots-ms-paint/">Paint (often intentionally Paint).

    There are also a few websites that can help you on your way, and remove the need for any image editing on your part by creating them for you.

    class="vt-p" href="http://www.memegenerator.net">MemeGenerator

    Easily the best source for quickly adding your own text to an already established meme, MemeGenerator breaks down currently active memes into tiers for your perusal.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/xzibit.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="386" />

    The site is pretty straight-forward, find yourself a meme that you like and then add text as required via the form on the right hand side of the page. There’s hundreds of thousands of other examples already online, so it’s pretty easy to get side-tracked whilst browsing.

    class="vt-p" href="http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php">Motivator

    Long before the internet started having its fun, motivational posters adorned many office, study and garage walls for all to take inspiration from. Now they’re one of the longest-standing internet jokes, and their use transcends many different memes.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/motivational.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="464" />

    These are great even just for sharing with friends, and Motivator is the quickest way to make your own parody. Simply choose a picture from your hard drive, class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/store-share-sort-and-search-your-photos/">Flickr or from your Facebook account (requires Connect), add your message and fine-tune before clicking Create.

    Instant motivational goodness.

    Conclusion

    Cultural fads pop up in every walk of life, but some only work on the internet. A startling amount of work and man hours have been collectively put into a plethora of concepts, jokes and characters that are now considered the bread and butter of internet comedy.

    Be aware that the jokes are daring, some potentially offensive and others make little to no sense at all. Still, you might get a chuckle or two out of trying it for yourself.

    There is also evidence of companies specifically targeting the internet meme as a way of viral marketing, much like the huge amount of internet gold that greeted the release of “Snakes on a Plane” in 2006. The film’s producers eventually re-shot 5 days worth of footage in the hope of living up to the internet hype that had been generated.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/snakesonaplane.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="489" />

    style="text-align: left;">Many videos that have made it to cult status (and thus are now considered memes in their own right) have spawned a number of “internet celebrities” (and I use the term very loosely). Classic class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-youtube-video-converters/">YouTube material like Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain (below) and Jay Maynard’s debut as The Tron Guy have seen them featured in the offline media, including a South Park episode that featured a collection of classic memes.

    Cataloging Comedy

    Now that the internet is older, there are an increasing amount of in-jokes to keep track of. Luckily, class="vt-p" href="http://www.knowyourmeme.com/">KnowYourMeme is the website to visit for a brief history on the subject. We’ve already got an article written by Justin dedicated to the site, and you can read that class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/knowyourmeme-encyclopedia-meme/">right here.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Selection_072.png" alt="" width="580" height="318" />

    KnowYourMeme is an organised database of online funnies, which also keeps track of new memes and class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/21-sites-to-find-out-whats-hot-online/">current trends online. Each meme that has been featured comes with a description and additional information surrounding the fad, as well as possible origins and a database of images attached.

    If you’re taking a trip down memory lane then class="vt-p" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_phenomena">Wikipedia has a well-informed list of internet phenomena that is chock-full of memes, jokes and things that only really work online.

    Making Your Own

    If you want to join in the fun then you could always contribute to the web’s growing collection of memes. Most are created in image editing programs like class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/download-idiot-guide-photoshop">Photoshop, class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-beginner-level-video-tutorials-learn-gimp-fast/">The GIMP and even class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/edit-enhance-screenshots-ms-paint/">Paint (often intentionally Paint).

    There are also a few websites that can help you on your way, and remove the need for any image editing on your part by creating them for you.

    class="vt-p" href="http://www.memegenerator.net">MemeGenerator

    Easily the best source for quickly adding your own text to an already established meme, MemeGenerator breaks down currently active memes into tiers for your perusal.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/xzibit.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="386" />

    The site is pretty straight-forward, find yourself a meme that you like and then add text as required via the form on the right hand side of the page. There’s hundreds of thousands of other examples already online, so it’s pretty easy to get side-tracked whilst browsing.

    class="vt-p" href="http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php">Motivator

    Long before the internet started having its fun, motivational posters adorned many office, study and garage walls for all to take inspiration from. Now they’re one of the longest-standing internet jokes, and their use transcends many different memes.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/motivational.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="464" />

    These are great even just for sharing with friends, and Motivator is the quickest way to make your own parody. Simply choose a picture from your hard drive, class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/store-share-sort-and-search-your-photos/">Flickr or from your Facebook account (requires Connect), add your message and fine-tune before clicking Create.

    Instant motivational goodness.

    Conclusion

    Cultural fads pop up in every walk of life, but some only work on the internet. A startling amount of work and man hours have been collectively put into a plethora of concepts, jokes and characters that are now considered the bread and butter of internet comedy.

    Be aware that the jokes are daring, some potentially offensive and others make little to no sense at all. Still, you might get a chuckle or two out of trying it for yourself.

    2 Android Apps To Quickly Check How To Spell A Word


    class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/android_sp.png" alt="how to spell a word" />As a child I was never a real good speller.  I never participated in any spelling bees to save myself from the embarrassment.  I’ve improved a bit through the years but there are still always going to be those words whose spelling is going to elude me.  For those of you who are in the same occasionally-can’t-spell-a-hard-word boat, there are Android apps for that.

    If you ever catch yourself in a situation where you need to quickly find a correct spelling, your trusty class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/google-android/">Android can come to your service!  The next time your pals are sitting around arguing about the spelling of some obscure word (happens all the time, I’m sure), try out some of these Android apps that will help you figure out how to spell a word.

    id="more-52917">

    Spell Checker (Voice)

    The first app I tried out and loved was Spell Checker (voice).

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/spellcheckervoice.png" alt="how to spell a word" width="496" height="450" />

    This app is very quick to access because it sets up a shortcut for you right off the bat.  Once installed, all you have to to is long-hold the search button and up pops the option to open it.

    class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: left;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/spellcheckervoice_code.png" alt="spell a word" width="94" height="96" />From there, for further ease, you can even choose to speak the word.  How awesome is that?  Alternatively, if you find some text on a website, copy the text and then just open the app and the copied text is automatically entered for you.  With support for nine languages, I’m sure this app is bound to help a lot of people.

    ASpell

    class="vt-p" href="http://www.simonjudge.com/android.html">ASpell is a very simple spell checking app and that happens to be its appeal.  It checks words by the class="vt-p" href="http://aspell.net/">GNU ASpell dictionary.  Its basic function is to tell you if the word in question is spelled correctly and to give you a list of alternatives.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aspell.png" alt="spell a word" width="243" height="361" />

    Another helpful feature is that, although English is the only language supported, it has a check box to check for the British spelling.

    Aside from spell checking apps, try out these games that make spelling fun.

    Speak & Spell

    Do you remember the children’s spelling game from the 80’s?  I don’t but perhaps some of you do.  The class="vt-p" href="http://www.appbrain.com/app/au.id.weston.scott.SpeakAndSpell">Speak and Spell Android app is basically an emulator of that game.  They say it’s for nostalgic reasons but try it out, you might like it.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/speakandspell.png" alt="how to spell a word" width="329" height="233" />

    If you don’t know anything about the game, it basically tells you words and you need to spell them.  Being an emulated game from 30 years ago, the graphics seem corny and the voice is a very annoying computer voice.  This is because that was how the original game was so don’t go hatin’!

    Seek ‘n Spell

    class="vt-p" href="http://www.seeknspell.com/index.html">Seek ‘n Spell is a newer game that makes use of GPS technology on your Android phone or iPhone.  The idea is somewhat similar to Scrabble but outdoors.  The game scrambles a bunch of letters across the fields, gives you a map showing their locations, and the players race to collect the letters.  When they make words with those letters, they score points.  This almost looked fun enough for me to go out and try all by myself.

    Check out this video to get a somewhat better visual.

    Updating Windows XP Drivers Regularly – How to Do It Easily and Quickly


    Windows XP has a host of internal and system drivers that it uses on a daily basis (or whenever you use your computer) to ensure the smooth operations of all software and hardware in your computer set up. This includes hardware like mouse drivers, keyboard drivers, graphics card, system essentials, other hardware, internal hardware, motherboard and Windows drivers. This is not a complete list, there are a ton of drivers that are needed and just to get an idea of how many, take the time to explore the ‘System and System 32′ files in your Windows root folder (usually on your C drive).

    Anything with a shell or .dll extension is a driver that your OS will be using to launch any number of applications and to ensure all of your hardware needs are met. One of the main problems that are encountered when you do not update Windows drivers is of course the Device Manager error codes, which happens when a hardware fails to install properly.

    The thing is, it is down to the super structure of the OS, which essentially is designed to provide you with the least amount of hassle when it comes to installing new hardware. It does this by having a list of drivers at the ready for a whole host of available manufacturers and their hardware, stored somewhere in the root drive.

    Since driver files are normally very small, as they consist normally of only instruction and constructed code, Microsoft is able to constantly update and add new device signatures into its data banks, which means that the range of products that it is able to recognise on a daily basis is then updated.

    This usually happens when you have the ‘automatic update’ service, where the main Microsoft server will download the files into your computer (which will more than often require a restart) and update it. Now even if you do this and some problems still occur, you are still able to update driver files for hardware profiles that are giving you plenty of problems and how you do this is to go into the device manager itself and select the driver source.

    There is an option to update automatically, whereby Windows will connect to the appropriate servers and try to find an updated version. This is very important because having the most up to date drivers means that you will have a computer that is running optimally, fast and will not have crashes due to driver conflicts. All your hardware will work properly and you will not have to go through the entire investigative process just to find out that all you needed to do was a simple software update

    As you can see, updating Windows XP drivers regularly is very important in maintaining the integrity of your computer and all the expensive hardware that you have bought in the course of your computing. And the best thing of all, updating is extremely simple to execute. All it takes is a few quick clicks of the mouse, and you’re done.

    To download Driver Scan for free and instantly fix your problems. Logan Albright is an authority on troubleshooting drivers issues at driverscan.org and has helped many to optimize their computers for peak performance.
