It used to be if you had a Blackberry you were somebody important. Now there are a lot of choices for those of you who conduct business while on the go.
Make Your Gmail Inbox A Productivity Machine
If you have read a few posts on this site, you know I loves me some Google. I use it for my sites, the soccer club I administer and am switching soon to an Android OS phone soon.
The reason I am an avid user of Google products is because they make things I need to do more simple. The more simple something is, the more I can get done without it feeling the opposition of complicated software.
Below I have a few add-ons and tips to make your Gmail inbox a dream instead of a nightmare.
Using Email Filters and Folders
One of the fundamentals of emails many forget, is keeping things organized. It is tough to get things in order once they have been neglected.

Do you use free or paid apps?

The reason I ask is, I have been buying more mobile applications and services recently. None of the subscriptions are extremely expensive and most of the applications are the price of a latte.
Since I deal with a lot of smart phones, I get the chance to talk to people about how they use their device.
Embrace Mobile Technology
I was up late last night and was browsing the web catching up on reading some sites I have been neglecting. In the midst of my reading, I decided to take a look at my Google Places Page.

Using Yelp To Get Found Locally
Yelp is a social search site dedicated to giving you the most unbiased user reviews and information about local businesses possible.

Below is a video explaining how Yelp’s filters help to give you the most accurate reviews possible. It makes a lot of sense and helps eliminate people from signing up just to pimp their business. After the video are a few tips to get you started using Yelp to help you find local search customers.
