Viber

Viber is almost same like WhatsApp and also my personal favorite To identify users it uses contacts from your mobile.You receive an access code in your mobile via a simple text message. To verify if your pals are connected to Viber it accesses your contacts from your phone. It also allows you to call users !

Facebook Messenger

Facebook is the most popular social networking site and I bet most of your friends are on Facebook ! Ain't it ? Nowadays, since everyone has a Facebook account, it makes easy to chat with your pals connected to Facebook.

How to Download Facebook Videos ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:52:00 +0000

In social media sites like Facebook, lots and lots of videos are uploaded and shared everyday. One of our readers asked "How to Download Facebook Videos ?". In this tut, you will learn how to download Facebook videos without any software but with just an online app.

How to Download Facebook Videos

Like YouTube, you cannot download Facebook videos too without using a third party software or app.

This online tools make it quite easy to download facebook videos ! Well, you may have difficulties on videos that aren't shared publicly. I tried my friend's video to download but it didn't work out as as it was private (I will cover it at the end of the post). But for a publicly shared video its easy enough for a kid too !

Ummm.... Now let's get started !

First of all visit this website DownVids [click here] and you will arrive at their page.

Now Log In to your Facebook account and find the video you want to download. A video without any link is the REAL facebook video ! I mean that it is the video that is uploaded on Facebook. Others which have a link like youtube.com or vimeo.com aren’t Facebook hosted videos ! They can be downloaded simply by using the latest version of Internet Download Manager .

After you found the right video, right click on its link and select “Copy link Address”. See above ^

Now head on to the website you opened at step 1.

The link should be in the format given below

"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=112559552271759"

Paste [Ctrl+v] the link in the blank space and click the DOWNLOAD button.

Holy Ads ! Ain't there too many download buttons ? They are simply ads displayed on the webpage. You have to click the grayish download button which is attached with the blank space. See the pic below to understand it more easily.

Just after few seconds a link will appear below the big red button which is the final link to download your Facebook Video. The video will be in .mp4 format (you can convert it later). The link will contain the Video Title… Like for me it’s “wow amazing voice”

Now Right Click on “Download this video” and select “Save link as”.

Select the desired location to save the Facebook Video and done !

Wait until your video is downloaded and enjoy watching it.

It was easy for publicly shared video, but for a private video it would give an error like this !

How to Download Private Videos in Facebook ?

L So what ? Now you have to copy the whole source code of the page and paste it there.

Right click on any area of the page and select “view page source”

Hit Ctrl+A to select every letter from the source code page and copy the text by pressing Ctrl+V.

Now move on to Down Vid and paste it on Option 2. After sometime you will be able to download it !

Cheers ! Now you can download Facebook Videos (even the private ones). Show it off :P

How To Send Encrypted Emails ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:22:00 +0000

Did you know that you can send encrypted emails which are absolutely private ? Nowadays, there is a need to send encrypted emails for sensitive data ! In the last post, we talked about the RightInbox, today I am going to share some free services that will help you to send encrypted emails.

Send Encrypted Emails

Infoencrypt

Infoencrypt does not require any installation. It is a web based service to send encrypted emails. After entering your desired message you have to set the password which will be further used to encrypt and decrypt your sent message. It uses a encryption algorithm which is strong enough to send secure emails. No password , no access to the messages.

SafeGmail

This is my personal favorite because I mainly use Gmail as e-mail service and Chrome as a browser. SafeGmail is wonderful chrome extension to send encrypted emails through Gmail ! Yes, it is available only for Gmail and Chrome. I would be writing a detailed review on SafeGmail on my next post. Its easy to use and gets implemented to Gmail in seconds. Paid plans are available.

RMail

RMail is easy to use email encryption service. Well you can send only 10 encrypted messages per month. A registered receipt will be received by us proving the encrypted delivery. Compose message , check the “encrypt” box and “Send Registered”. You can also create a free account. No downloads here.

Sendinc

Sendinc is another web based service which can be used by you and your recipient for free. It encrypts your message thorugh out the delivery time and never stored in an unencrypted form. It also verifies your recipients are in fact your intented recipients. Well, they are encrypted with a random generated key which is sent to your recipients in form of a link. Even Sendinc can decrypt your encrypted message without a key. So we can conclude that its pretty much safe J

Hushmail

I used Hushmail quite a few months back. While writing up the post I remembered about it ! The best thing is that it provides mobile services (android, iPhone etc). Like SafeGmail, here too paid plans are available. It comes with unlimited aliases, storage and desktop client.

Lockbin

Lockbin isn't a web based app that can send safe emails but also files. And It makes sure that your mails are not saved on email servers. No registration in Lockbin. It is encrypted AES-256 bit encryption. You have to send the password in other communication way. The attachment size is limited to 15Mb Lockbin desktop client is also available. With the paid plans you can cross the limit of the file size.

iSafeguard

iSafeguard is a PC tool which provides secure encryption for everyone. It also allows to sign and verify digital signatures. Its equipped with a text editor and is easily implemented in the Windows Shell. 3 editions of this program are available namely the freeware,enterprise and professional edition. The latter version is full equipped with many features which aren't present in the freeware edition.

Last note

Did you like this post ? Come on ! Its time to send an encrypted email ! In the next post I am thinking of reviewing the SafeGmail extension which is my favourite ! And I recommend you to use it ! Inform us if you know more encryption services.

RightInbox Review - Track Emails Easily

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:17:00 +0000

So, why track your mails ? Suppose you sent an important or urgent email to someone and now all you can do is to sit back and wait :( But when you track the email, you will be easily informed whether your mail is opened or not. Not only this it has other features that you starve for :P . RightInbox is what I am talking about. Read the RightInbox Review :)

RightInbox Review

What is RightInbox ?

Well, it is a browser extension available for Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It integrates with Gmail and allows you to track the sent mails. The features of it made me write a RightInbox Review.

Now you must be thinking why to add an an extension when we have it in Outlook. But it is impossible without an action from the receiver if he ignores it.Other way is to add HTML scripts which are a mess !

Features

What are the features that makes RightInbox stand out from others ?

Schedule - Schedule your emails with one click
Any Time - Deliver messages anytime or any date
Light - Extremely light extension specially designed for Gmail users
Email Reminders - Reminds you of important discussions
Click Tracking - Informs if the reader has opened your link
Tracking - Track emails with details

Above details were listed out from the RightInbox Homepage

Start Tracking with RightInbox !

See Also [5 free Photoshop Alternatives]

First of all visit the RightInbox Homepage[click here], and click install. As I said above it is only available for Chrome, safari and Firefox !

Now click Add to add it to your browser(in my case its Chrome).

Open Gmail and it will automatically get integrated with a final click.

Click COMPOSE >> Write your email >> select Track or Schedule with Reminder and finally send it !

As soon as the recipient opens your message you will receive a notification with details like from where it was opened and time opened.

Tracking an email was never so easy !

Is it free ?

Yes it is free !

Umm.... but the version restricts your usage to only 10 emails per month (that ain't too bad). There are other versions where there are no restrictions! It starts with $3.95/month.

Video Guide

Watch out the video guide if you can't figure out what I wrote above :) Watch Video !

Last Note !

RightInbox is a lightweight extension with scheduling , tracking and reminding features available for 3 browsers. All I would say is "Try This Out". If you want further help Contact The Support Team.

5 Free Photoshop Alternatives

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 04:09:00 +0000

No doubt, Photoshop is the best and a very popular image editor that everyone will like to have. Most of the photographers or designers use Photoshop for their work. Most of people have a craze for Photoshop. It’s best but very expensive. However you can head on for the pirated ones ! But I never trust pirated goods. So what can you do now ? For your kind information, Photoshop isn't the only Image Editor available online :P . Thanks to open source softwares which work as free Photoshop alternatives. Below are 5 free Photoshop Alternatives .

5 Free Photoshop Alternatives

GIMP

Familiar with the name ? Those who don’t have photoshop will surely have this. GIMP (GNU image manipulation program) offers a wide number of tools acting as the best alternative to PhotoShop. GIMPshop is another version of this image editing software that have similar interface like PhotoShop. It is available for Linux, MAC and Windows. It works with variety of formats including PSD, create filters and several layers, edit individual parts and also has a good range of built-in brushes.GIMP is my personal favourite and I recommend you to try this.

Download GIMP for free here.

Paint.NET

Paint.NET is another powerful yet free editor. It was launched with the motive to replace MS Paint (the image editing tool present all Windows versions). However now it has high level image editing features (less than GIMP though). These include color level adjustments,special effects,gradient drawing, clone stamp and few others. Also it has free plugins and unlimited Undo History. Paint.NET is known for their helpful support they provide. It was first developed by some students.

Download Paint.NET for free here.

After these 2 lets move on to the third…. I was rather confused which I should I put on 3^rd. Finally I came to a conclusion…

Photoscape

Photoscape is yet another easy to use image editor available for free. It ain’t simply a image editor. You can make an animated GIF out of 2 or more pictures or even combine(stitch) photos in different ways (horizontally or vertically). It even acts as a screen shot software and can split pics if required. Its equiped with a batch editor too. So overall it has a number of features to count on.

Download Photoscapefor free here.

Pixlr and other web-based apps

The best thing about online image editors is that you do not have to download and install which I think is time consuming ! Whenever you want to edit a pic just fire up your browser and land on to these websites. Not only they provide cool tools but also an attractive interface that you would love. They make our editing experience more easy to use and beautiful. All you need is a fast internet connection. Web-based apps like Pixlr help us to edit pics even if we do not have a software installed. Splashup is another web-based editor but this one is more for beginners.Some others that I would like to mention are Picknik,Picmonkey and Sumopaint.

Go to Pixlr | Go toSplashup

Artweaver Free

Hmm… at last came to the end of the list. Known as “art store packed in one”, Artweaver Free is the the free version of Artweaver Plus. It has a number of features matching with Photoshop and even a interface too. It comes with many filter effects and different kinds of brushes are available too.

Download Artweaver FREE from here.
