Nowadays, the most of webmail providers, such as Yahoo, Google and MS, provided a huge storage or even unlimited. Therefore, you will have a lot of email. Now, I got 11915 in my inbox at Yahoo and I have around a hundred new incoming email per day. This morning, I need to find an email which have some information I need but I got that email at the early of this year, maybe Jan or Feb(I can't remember). Well, email search is my life saver. I remember some keywords in email and I know the email received this year. I entered the keyword and limited this year. I can't find the exact emai. But I found an email with similar information. They are a kind of related. It should be received similar period of time. Then I got my inbox, went to the page has the email I found and I scrolled a page. Then I found the email I need. So, email with a search function, that is a "must have" function!

Nowadays, Facebook is very popular. Most of friends have a Facebook account. Moreover, you may have few hundreds people in your friends. But, have you ever thought to use it as a tool to your website? 

Firstly, they are all friends. You have a good relationship with them. I believe they are interested to visit your website. They are your most valuable target audiences. I believe that is more helpful than you have a link on some popular web portal with thousands of people viewed your link. But maybe they have not paid attentions to that. 

Secondly, Facebook has some good tools to let your friends know about your website. You can put your URL of website in your profile.  Yes, that is a common feature. What I like to use “notes” and “posted items”. When my blogs have any major changes, I post a note to update all of my friends. When I wrote any good articles, I will post a link in “posted items” to draw my friends’ attention. If your website are related with a real entity, you can create a page with your website. Your friends can become a fan of your website. 

Facebook is helpful to promote your website and that is FREE!

I will consider to buy a netbook if that is in 3G. Because I mainly use that to connect internet. You can say I can use wifi. But in Australia, that is not many places have wifi. 3G internet is the best opinion. That is the most important, the netbook is still like a toy. That is not very useful for myself.

I have asked about the future of IT industry under the current situation. Well, IT is a kind of business supportive industry. If the business is good, IT industry will be good. But if we can foucs on helping the business to cut cost by using IT system. I believe the trend of company to cut cost. Moreover, the best salse model should have paid by monthly service fee. I think the company will be more willing to pay the monthly service fee than a large block of cash one-off.

Always, there will be tomorrow , and future. All we need to use do, spending more brain power!

I just went back from Hong Kong. I got an external harddisk around HKD$500 for 160GB. Well, I believe there is not many reasons for myself to burn DVDs as the backup method. I got a NAS at home. Now, I will create another copy in my external harddisk. It saves time and money.
