Google hangouts

Living in a new country challenges you. First you want to keep in touch with your friends and of course still want to keep up with your emails and stuff. I love any google products in general but my favorite one by far is gmail.com. Basically I live on gmail. I am singned in 24/7. It provides me my two priority activities: chat and email at the same time.

However when you have other things to do (like working, studying, etc.) switching among windows and tabs to see your chat can be annoying and time wasting. So I googled if there any kind of experimented app or add-in or something like that. One year ago I installed an add-in I do not remember the name but it made me enable to have my chat always in the right bottom corner regardless what I am watching/doing or being currently at. 

A week ago google launched its updated google hangouts app and extension on normal computers. This is my real solution! 

It combines chat and skype together. All of my contacts show up in a list and i can start a conversation by clicking on them. It is nothing crazy right? But then you can just call them and share screens/chat/webcam/connect google drive/etc. This is a real ultimate office tool for free! You can create hangouts forming a group of many-many people.

Just click on the green bubble next to your URL bar. And start your hangout anywhere you are.

I love this!

Thank you, google!

Couple big trips Mid West trip 4500 miles in 12 days and Route 66 trip 2000 in 14 days.

Transfering my blog to tumblr

Yahoo just bought recently tumblr.com for $1.1 billion (http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/19/technology/yahoo-tumblr/index.html). It is a crazy amount of money. I had no interest in tumblr so until now I haven't used it.
This is one of the most visited miniblog on tumblr. http://theworstroom.tumblr.com/ I do like this blog too. Simple funny and easy to digest. The idea about tumblr is to combine twitter and blogger together and enable people to easily share anything they like, don't like on internet in a short entertaining way.

I went on tumblr.com and in 5 minutes i had my personnel tumblr. To me it is still new and probably will not spend too much time playing around with it. We all have our time constraint, and since i have couple blogs and my whole life to manage you don't want to split your effort on different media channels.
So I had an idea what if i could transfer my current blogs to my tumblr site.

Search blogger to tumblr and you will find this site first ranked: http://www.bloggertotumblr.com/

Here you type your current blogger URL and add your freshly created blank tumblr.com site and boom, it transfers all the content you created already in seconds. But don't delete your blogger, because tumblr.com actually links everything to your blog. Meaning that as you refresh your blog it automatically updates your tumblr.com too. 

What is the benefit? One rule on the internet is that you want your future readers/visitors to find you on the internet. You can submit you tumblr to googlebots so you increase the likelihood of the traffic to your site. 

More hits mean more chance to generate money in some ways.

Introduction

Hi! My name is Bence Erdelyi, a recent MBA graduate student at Quinnipiac University. I have couple blogs to write and been doing this for years. This specific one is required by my very last class (after my graduation  ceremony) CIS (Computer Information Science).

As far as I concern any technology related stuff learning based on your individual interest. Whatever problem you have on your laptop/tablet/smart phone you just google your problem and find your solution pretty much for sure. I will not invent anything on this blog, just will blog about stuff I am concerned and experienced.

Because this is the introduction post I am going to share two useful things I learnt. One of this is an online bio site (http://about.me) and the other one is a video resume.

Let's start with the first one:

This site is so simple. You go on about.me, register, create an account and add your bio, then adjust the outlook however you want and then boom. You are good to go. Sometimes dont't forget to refresh your bio. 

I added this link to my business card and my email footer. So anybody can check me out. It is elegant, simple, unique and professional.

Second introduction tool is using youtube to broadcast yourself. My best friend, Jeffrey Bernhard introduced videoing to me. He set up his studio and since we talked about broadcasting he launched his channel (i will write about him later on) and shot many videos. I only made several of them and only one can be published. It is just not that easy as it seems like. Here I am talking about my fishfarming dream.
