Backup Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Google Data with Backupify

Posted: 09 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST

Backupify is a free service that provides automatic daily backups of your online data from websites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Google, and more. More and more of life is being spent online. Facebook and Twitter can track our every move (for some people even more than their every move). Flickr and Picasa get our pictures so that everyone in our life can see them. What happens if something happens to one or more of these sites? Most of our life is gone. If you have a social media backup, such as can be found at Backupify, everything that you post on your social media is safe.

A Variety of Social Media Options

Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Blogger are just a few of the available social media websites that your data can be backed up from. If you have image storage accounts on Flickr and Picasa, you can back those up too. The various Google applications are also available for backups. With the free option, you can pick three of the thirteen available sites and applications to back up. Backups are completed on a weekly basis for free users.

If you choose to backup Google Apps, you'll be able to search, archive, and restore your apps in case of loss. Technical support for free users is by email only.

Limited Storage Space for Free Users

Free users of Backupify are allowed up to one gigabyte of backup storage on the Backupify servers. If you're like me, that just MIGHT be enough to backup all of your images on Facebook. Add Flickr, and forget it. I have literally thousands of images in my Facebook image albums. When you add in my Flickr account, as new as it is, that number can go as high as tens of thousands. Not all of my images are small, either. So, this 1GB limit seems pretty small.

Two Paid Backup Options

Backupify offers two paid options, MyCloud100 and MyCloud500. MyCLoud100 is 44.99 a month, while the 500 option is $19.99 a month. You get ten gigabytes of storage and five social media accounts with the MyCloud100 option. There are no limits to the number of accounts or the amount of data stored with the MyCloud500 option.

Not For Me, Thanks

For some people, an online backup service might be a great idea. Lose some data while you're on a trip and it's easy to restore. I can wait. All of my important pictures are stored on three websites, and two external hard drives, along with one in my computer. Something REALLY bad would have to happen for me to lose ALL of them at once. As far as my Twitter feed and Facebook page, it won't end my life if their servers crash, and everything I've done over the last year or two is lost.

Kingsoft Office Suite 2012: Free Alternative to MS Office

Posted: 09 Jan 2012 05:00 AM PST

Kingsoft Office Suite 2012 is a free alternative to MS Office. Kingsoft Office Suite 2012 Free is a piece of free software that contains the three most commonly used Office applications; a writing product, a presentation creator, and a spreadsheet creator. If you’re familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you will be able to make use of most of the features of Kingsoft Office Suite 2012.

Kingsoft Writer

The main interface of Kingsoft Writer is very similar to the interface of Microsoft Word. Text styles are easier to access, being on a drop down menu similar to font and font size. Most of the same features that you’re familiar with in Word are available in Kingsoft Writer. Tables, formulas, inserting graphics and hyperlinks; it’s all available in Writer. My biggest problems with the program are that there doesn’t appear to be a way to adjust line spacing, page margin adjustment is only available through the ruler feature, and, worst of all for someone like me, there is no live word count feature; you have to hit a series of keys for the program to count the number of words you’ve typed. The program also doesn’t alert you to grammar errors. Its spell check function doesn’t like contractions.

Kingsoft Presentation

I’ve been using PowerPoint to create automated slideshows for years. So, I thought that using Kingsoft Presentation was going to be easy. Create a number of slides as a slideshow, add a little music to it and viola! Instant automatically running slideshow. The problem is, that didn’t happen. I spent over 30 minutes playing with the program and looking through the help files, but I wasn’t able to find any information on how to create a self-running presentation or slideshow. All of the options were there as in PowerPoint, but none of the various slideshows I made ran by themself after opening them. They opened directly into PowerPoint. In order to view the presentations I had created as a full screen slideshow, I had to start the slideshow from within Kingsoft Presentation or PowerPoint.

Kingsoft Spreadsheet

Kingsoft Spreadsheet is the Excel-like portion of the Kingsoft Office Suite 2012. All of the features and functions you’re familiar with in Excel are available in Kingsoft presentation. You’re just not going to find them as easily or in the same places that you’re used to with Excel.

If you’ve got a few hours to dedicate to relearning how to use the programs you’re familiar with, Kingsoft Office Suite 2012 is an excellent full-featured and free choice. If you don’t have a few hours to dedicate and already know exactly how to do everything you need to do with an office suite, stick with Microsoft Office. You’ll spend a little more money, but you’ll save a large amount of time. The one main thing I liked about each of these three applications is that they launch quite a bit faster than the Microsoft versions.
