Cool Online Tools- Be More Productive Faster!
Article by Katerina Gasset
If you are still using IE as a browser you are considered pretty old school in the online world. If you have a PC the only thing you need IE for is to get on the MLS.
You can have as many browsers as you want on your desktop of laptop. You can also have them all opened up at the same time. Many people don’t know that.
If you are a mac user, like we are, then you obviously are not going to be using IE- unless you are using Parallels. But now we can get on MLS with our Macs with one click and not ever have to use IE again.
So the three browsers we recommend for faster and better productivity and a safer experience are:Safari, Firefox Chrome
I wrote another post with a review of these three so that is not what this post is about.
Firefox has an unlimited amount of really cool FREE add ons and plug ins.
One of our favorite add-ons for Firefox is the PDF Converters. What these add-ones do makes your online research go so much faster. You can take any page you are reading on-line and turn it into a pdf file with just one click! From there, you can store the pdf on your hard drive, in your dropbox, on line anywhere. You can email the pdf to yourself or to a client or prospect.
You can take your own posts on your blog and turn them into pdf files with one click! You can then upload them to pdf sharing sites.
In Firefox, go to your tools at the top of your tool bar. Click on get add-ons. Type in PDF converters and you will get a list of options that open up into a new page on Firefox.
One that gets good reviews is: Web2PDF. This one is fast and then once your document is converted you can choose right there on the page to download the pdf file, to view it in Google docs or store and share it online- all with one click. This add-on also lets you put the URL of a website right into an address bar area and convert that site to pdf. Imagine the possibilities!
You can drag the tool right into your toolbar so you will have easy access to it right when you need it.
With Web2PDF add-on you can also order a pdf via email if you want to and then you can also add the pdf converter button to your blog or website so that you can make it a snap for your clients and subscribers to save your posts, articles and other files.
