11 Reasons Why I Love Feedly — And You Should Too

Feedly I love Feedly and I love it even more now because they have launched features. The first time I tried Feedly was when Google discontinued the Google Reader. I even published a blog post about Feedly to express my gratitude. I wasn't a very active Feedly user over the past few months. But recently I noticed that they launched a "Read Later" service of their own. And another feature called "Boards". The result? I uninstalled Pocket and moved all my Pocket items to Feedly. So now, I have decided that it's worth mentioning the 11 Reasons Why I Love Feedly. Just like I did for Dropbox. And Google Photos. Feedly was NOT for everyone as it was basically an RSS reader. But now it's for everyone. Meaning, it was useful only for those who understand blogs and RSS feeds (and maybe its purpose as well). But not anymore. Because Feedly is now simple and powerful than ever.

11 Reasons Why I Love Google Photos — And You Should Too

Google Photos I hated Google+ when it was launched as a social network as it was forcing us to sign up for a Google+ account to use other Google services (like YouTube, Gmail, Picasa Web, etc.). But then I learned to love Google+ because of Google+ Photos. Google+ Photos was a revamped version of Picasa Web Albums. I was able to explore all my Picasa Web Albums (oh yeah, it was my favorite photo storage service) in Google+ Photos and then there was a handful of powerful features like Unlimited Storage (up to 2048 x 2048 px), Auto-Backup (to backup every single photo on your phone to Google+), Auto-Enhance (a fantastic online photo editing tool), Photo Sharing, etc. As you probably know, Google dropped the "+" from Google+ Photos and now it's simply known as Google Photos (in other words it's now a standalone product). That's not all! Google Photos offers free unlimited storage for photos up to 16 MP or around 4,000 x 4,000 px (up from 4 MP or 2,000 x 2,000 px). Voilà! Google Photos is a standalone product and it's got over 200 million monthly active users. In fact, it's one of the best Google products ever. It's great because Google+ Photos was such a great application for photo storage and organization but was actually hidden inside an ugly social network.

Web 3.0 And The Future Of The Web

The Future of the Web I'm assuming that you already know how the web has evolved over the past many, many years. And if you are an 80's kid then I guess you can perfectly recollect those HTML (actually static) websites in the 90s and early 2000s. Or, you wanna see it? All right. Here you go: Microsoft Microsoft Apple Apple

The Fantastic Five Mac OS X Utilities I Can’t Live Without

Best Mac OS X Utilities I love tools. I really do, and some of them are the ones that I simply can't live (online) without. That's how I ended up publishing over a dozen listicles featuring the best productivity tools, blogging tools, marketing tools, social media tools, browser extensions, etc. Today, I have decided to show my gratitude to fantastic five Mac OS X utilities. I said, "Utilities" and not "Apps" since it's just a nifty list of tools that enables you to do certain things (or to enable additional functionalities) that are otherwise not possible on your Mac. First things first. As I have mentioned, it's just a tiny list of Mac utilities (or rather say utility apps) that are obviously available only on Mac OS X. All of them basically enables you to do one thing (and only one thing) that can't be done without using a third-party app on a Mac.

Over 101 Blogging Resources (Tools & Apps) To Streamline Your Workflow

Blogging Resources It’s true, every blogger would have a list of their favorite blogging tools, and I have one too. The other bloggers might not have published one but trust me it exists. Because "bloggers can't live without tools!". Seriously! Here is a list of my blogging resources and it includes my favorite internet tools, software, and apps. Well, some of them may not be directly related to blogging or it may not be even an essential. However, I have listed it here because I believe I ended up using it only because I own a blog. Makes sense, right? One more thing. These are  my personal favorites and it may not be the best option for you. But you can always explore my Blogging Tools 501 (or what I call the, The Blogpreneur's Swiss Army Knife) for a comprehensive list of blogging resources you will ever need.

My Favorite Internet Tools, Software & Apps

I have made sure that only the ones that I'm using currently (daily or occasionally) is listed here. And the best thing is that most of them are free, forever. Anyway, I have highlighted the premium services (plus its pricing when possible).

The Web Hosting Handbook: Everything (Almost) You Need To Know

Web Hosting Companies There are a ton of web hosting companies on the web and countless web hosting comparisons, reviews, coupons and deals of those hosting companies also exists. And almost all of the bloggers recommends at least one web hosting company of their choice. The problem is, the web hosting provider recommended by 'Blogger A' could be the worst rated hosting company by 'Blogger B' or vice versa. Again, a good percentage of the bloggers or the "best web hosting reviews and ratings" are biased. For instance, HostGator.com is among the Top 10 Web Hosting Companies (actually at #2) by PC Magazine in 2015 and its Editor Rating is EXCELLENT (Screenshot) --- when it's easily one of the worst rated host in 2015. And recently I noticed that an 'award-winning' blogger was promoting a Black Friday deal of a web hosting company that he otherwise loved to hate. Then again, there are bloggers who is hosting their website with 'Host A' but they are promoting 'Host B'. You know why? Affiliate commissions. Period.

Web Hosting: Everything (Almost) You Need To Know

Today, I just wanted to give you my personal perspective about "web hosting". And no, I'm neither going to write an individual review of a host nor going to recommend a specific host. Instead, my goal is to discuss several aspects of web hosting plus compare some of the most popular web hosting companies (with a price comparison chart). I believe you can choose a web hosting plan by yourself once you go through the entire article. I have organized the article into different sections to make it more readable and here you go:
