Migration to the cloud
What applications do you still run through Windows?
Aside from Firefox, I think the only other two are Notepad and Paint.
I just found a couple of no-install, no-login cloud-based alternatives.
Spynote lets you just type plain text into a window (I need to use it to correct html tags or transcribe video). It’s free and simple. Opening up Google Docs takes longer and has spacing/formatting that can get annoying (especially when editing odd indented resumés).
CanvasPaint does the same thing, but for MS Paint. Looks and feels just the same. The only qualm I have is this: the main reason I open up Paint is to quickly resize a saved image or screen capture. Right now it doesn’t look like CP has the ability to paste a screen capture into the template. Still the same, it’s free and does everything else.
As far as instant messaging, I’ve mentioned them before and I’m still using Meebo — for the better part of two years now. And while there are occasional connection problems it does the trick (like Sex Panther). Out of curiosity, does anyone know what their business model is? Do they have any revenue stream?
Note: each company paid me millions of dollars to post this.
