SPRING CLEANING

Welcome SPRING!  As we move into a new season, many of us are excited and looking for a little rest and relaxation over Spring Break.  Whatever your spring break plans may be, a little organization and spring cleaning might be on your list of to do's. My favorite type of cleaning needs no mop, broom, or paintbrush. So, grab your laptop and a cup of coffee and let's look at two tools that are great for organizing your desktop.

Symbaloo is a cloud-based application that allows users to organize and categorize web links in the form of "tiles" on a customizable start page.  It works from the web and allows users to create a personalized virtual desktop accessible from any device with an Internet connection.  It is easy to create a free account and begin to organize your webpages. Users simply drag and drop items to create webmix collections.  It was easy for me to take my most visited webpages and drop them into the webmix.  All are just one click away!

Have you ever had so many tabs open at once that you can no longer tell which tab was which?  When working on various projects, it is easy to do.  OneTab is a free extension which opens in Google Chrome and converts all of your tabs into a list.  It also frees up memory as you do not have all of those tabs open.  Tabs can be saved and exported to other people, computers, or your smartphone.  A definite advantage is that if your computer crashes, you can easily restore by simply clicking on your OneTab extension.
