America recently went on a major shopping spree. Last December we had, as a nation, quite a bit of cash lying around. The following month we found a way to spend it. In fact, we spent some $12 billion more in January than we had saved up.Check out the series of visual images - may spur some ideas for presentations or training communications.Check it out:  http://www.fastcompany.com/pics/visualizing-upswing?slide=0

Recently, I came across a website with lots of good step by step instructions for a variety of software programs - which saved me a lot of time. I found the website searching for help to correct a problem in Microsoft Outlook - I synced Outlook with my phone (the wrong way) resulting in the addition of a duplicated list of contacts. Removing this large list was going to be quite cumbersome if I took the time to delete each one. I found step-by-step instructions that solved my problem on the Tech-Recipes website. Millions of visitors have received help from the over two thousand step-by-step tutorials found on the site. Most of these were authored by the large community of users that have registered through the site so test the instructions before passing them along.Check it out: http://www.tech-recipes.com/

Official Google Blog: A different kind of company name

Rapid Intake, the guys who gave us ProForm and Unison, announced its new online collaborative course review software, called REVIEW™, that allows any course developer to post a course online and collect and manage course review feedback and comments. The reason I will use the program is its ability to load courses for review that have been developed with different types of e-Learning programs such as Articulate Presenter, Captivate and other Flash-based training. The actual review process rocks. Imagine being able to have reviewers make comments on a specific slide without having to pop back and forth between the course and a review document! REVIEW™ tracks feedback notes, threaded comments, attachments, alerts, and more in one centralized location. It even automatically captures information about the reviewer, where the reviewer was in the course when the feedback was submitted, and relevant system information, such as the web browser and operating systemI tested the product by uploading an Articulate Presenter course packed for SCORM 1.2. The course loaded quickly and I was able to access it immediately to make review notes. I also tested a course without any LMS files - the course loaded with no problems and worked as promised.
