While creating a portfolio page on our local business website, there arises a need of capturing a client’s website screenshot. However, the traditional inbuilt snipping tool that comes with Windows 7/8 system failed to perform the operation. Even, my all time favorite tool screenpresso couldn’t help me either. As a long time Google chrome browser user and admirer, I turned my attention to Chrome web store to look for an extension that can easily capture screen of scrolling Window. To my surprise, there are tons of screen capturing tools available on the Chrome web store that performs the similar operation, however, only Clipular drove my attention

Just a while back, we covered a desktop client for Google Keep service, which also piqued my mind to look for the best Google Keep alternatives available in the market. Unenlightened or the people who are unaware what we are talking about should check out the web version of Keep. Principally, it is a note taking app on the cloud that has few more functions which makes it a worth your shot. Though many pundits consider it to be in an embryonic phase and a haste decision from a Google to grab the big chunk of a market share. In an amaranthine battle to become a dominant force in whichever field they jump in, Google has released a half-baked product this time around. It made

The apps like TweetDeck, Pokki, Seesmic and many more helps in managing multiple social media accounts with ease from a single interface. Pretty much each of the aforementioned applications provide custom notification on your system upon the arrival of new message, PM/DM etc. Unfortunately, they lack integration with many other popular services, for example TweetDeck works with Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn profiles at the moment. How about an app that supports Gmail, Facebook, Reddit and a plethora of other services notification from a single interface? Instead of ending up installing bunch of apps or extensions, wouldn’t it be good to manage them from a single interface. A new Google chrome extension called Chime (not from the prominent social network chime.in) has integrated many other services to bring in

Hulu.com is among one of the top subscribed streaming service in USA and Japan. There is a barrage of videos, serial episodes, behind-the-scene clips, movies and more catered to the users everyday. Unfortunately, the service is fettered to a limited group of people (in this case country or geographical limitation is applied). There is more to it– Hulu also restricts access from proxy and other software that tries to imitate or pretend to be user from the allowed countries. The amaranthine cat-and-mouse game between Hulu and wannabe developers will never cease. The latest entrant in this field is Hola Blocker, which unlocks the restricted content for other users. In simple terms, where ever you be, you can watch Hulu outside US. There’s no country restriction
