ThinkFree – new exiting features
written on Oct.26, 2006
ThinkFree added some new features that might be useful. If you want the complete picture, check out my post on ThinkFree including screenshots and screencasts.
First, there’s a new way of sharing your files. You can choose whatever mailclient you usually use, such as Gmail and Hotmail (also local clients if you’re still running installed ones ;)). A good thing about this is that you don’t have to maintain a complete list of users in multiple locations – just pick them from your addressbook.
Second, which isn’t really relevant since I’m looking into uninstalling everything from my desktop is that there’s a new version out for the desktop version which more or less is ThinkFree Online, but installed on your PC.
Also, interesting news: ThinkFree announced that it has supplied The City of Los Angeles public library with ThinkFree Server Edition for its Central Library and 71 branch libraries. Can you imagine the cost savings? Instead of locally installing any Office suite on 2,200 desktops, they just maintain a webserver.
Oh, and by the way, did you know you can win some goodies if you recommend ThinkFree for someone, or if you tell them of a successful story when using it?

I’ve been using ThinkFree for a short time, and I really like the java interface which has the same features as powerful software such as Microsoft Word. The only small feature that is missing is the spell check function in the quick edit. I can’t install java on every computer, and sometimes I want to use the spell check function without the power edit.

This may not be the ideal place to inquire about this, but I am looking for a pest control provider inside the pittsburgh region and have no method to find out who is the best. I found this business that’s really close to me and wanted to see if anyone has any assessments on them. Spectrum Pest Control, 3058 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, PA 15216 – (412) 446-2802

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
