Count Words & Analyze A Document’s Readability With Word Counter [Mac]

If you’ve been a student, you must be familiar with writing assignments. I love writing but keeping up with deadlines and trying to meet the word count was always two of the ghosts that haunted my school years. I thought that after graduation I could finally kiss those nightmares goodbye. But I ended up being a writer and I still have to shake hands with those smiling ghosts for the rest of my life. Talk about irony. Personal tale aside, writing tools are an inseparable part of any writer’s life. I’ve just come across a free Mac application that falls into this category. This writing tool is called Word Counter . The Power That Lies Within At first glance, this app might look insignificant. Who needs another word counter?

GoogSysTray: An All In One Google Notifier App

It is a well agreed upon fact that Google makes some of the best products out there in the cloud today. So much so that people are crazy to try out anything new from Google.  Wave and Chrome OS are recent examples of this. Some time back we showed you GMDesk , that lets you easily access a number of Google products from the desktop. The concept is similar to Mozilla Prism and other site specific browsers. Being the Google fanboys that we are, here is another software that keeps you on top of what’s happening in different Google services associated with your account. It is called GoogSysTray . The name is kind of lame, as GoogSystray’s SF page points out. However it works great and you will love it, especially if you use different Google products. Googsystray is essentially a notifier app. Now, before you pass over it just because of it being another one in the herd of notifier apps, consider that GoogSysTray covers more than just Gmail. Apart from providing alerts when there ...

2 Ways To Add Social Bookmarking Buttons To Your Blog

Many bloggers and analysts argue that search engine ranking and SEO are starting to become less and less relevant in gaining traffic as social media rises. Sites such as Digg, Twitter and Stumbleupon are sworn by in the blogosphere for getting huge spikes in traffic when a post goes viral. So if you own a blog or website and think that your content has what it takes to compete on these sites then you’ll need to add social media buttons such as the ones we have here on MUO at the bottom of this post. We’ll look at two options. Firstly, the easier one – plugins. Plugins Wordpress is the most popular blogging platform mostly because of how adaptable it is by using plugins – and it’s free. The first plugin we’ll look at is one you’ll recognise from many different blogs. The tweet button. Twitter Twitter is the fastest of all social media sites by its very ‘micro-blogging’ nature so having it at the top of the post works best. Download and install this plugin. If you’re not familiar...
