Ever realized you needed a document that was on a different computer
from the one you were on? With FolderShare, you can access your files
from anywhere.

• Keep all your files in sync
• Use
  FolderShare to create a mirrored image of your most important folders -
  like your Favorites, Pictures, and Documents – so they’re the same on
  all your computers.

• Sharing files is easier than ever
• Sharing
  with friends, co-workers, and family is easy when you add and update
  files in a shared library. Large files? Not a problem – FolderShare can
  sync files up to 2 GBs in size. And it works on both Mac and PC.

• Get to your files instantly when you’re away from home
• Install FolderShare on all your computers, and you can access all your files from any computer on the Internet.

Microsoft Foldershare is what we finally settled on after months of trial and error. Hopefully, in us sharing this with you and your business, you can get to syncing with a bit less effort then us. Best of all, unlike many of the other apps we tried, this one is completely free. The only draw back we can find is that there is a 10,00 file limit on a single sync point, but you can get around that by syncing the underlying folders separately. If you need help, as always, feel free to contact us @ 1.866.516.1576 for all your online consulting needs.

A brand spanking new release came out April 22nd and you can Install Foldershare for Windows by following this link.

3. Wait a few seconds while we navigate the phone tree.

The inspiring design, llc. PageRank Tool

PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. When one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes , the more important the page must be. But, it is also important to realize that Google also measures the importance of the page that is casting the vote, so one vote can be of more “significance” then another. Google then uses all of this information to calcualte a PageRank or PR. A very technical analysis can be found at Wikipedia, Google, and WebWork Shop.
