We talked so many times about Stumbleupon so I assume you already know that this is one great social network. Lately, Stumbleupon has introduced a new function called  sharing.

You can now share a story that you liked most with your entire list of friends.  To do this you have to go to “Your favorites”. Once you get there, you will see in the left side of the page a list of thumbnails. Mouse over one of those thumbnails and then click “Share” if you want to share that respective story with your friends. Here is how it looks like:

The good

It’s obvious that you can now easily share a story that you liked, with your friends. You can manually select some fellows or you just click on “all” and stumbleupon will do the hard work.

The bad

This is also obvious – spammers! Since this functions has been introduced, I started to get way too many stories into my email from people that only want to promote their websites. I do agree to be sent one or two stories per week from a fellow of mine, but sending me 2-3 stories / day / person is just dumb. I don’t even have time to read&see so many websites.

There was something like this before as well. It is named  “Send to” and can still be found in the toolbar. However, with “Send to” you aren’t able to send emails in mass.

When it comes to having an online business or just a simple blog where you get to share your ideas and thoughts with other internet users, web hosting is a very important part of the whole web development process. It’s the core base of everything made online, without proper web hosting your website can not be accessed by people all around the world. There are a lot of web hosting companies to choose from but there are a few aspects that you need to look for before deciding on an offer:

- Up-time: If you’re going to have a website, up-time is a serious matter that you should consider. Nobody wants to pay for web hosting and experience downtime most of the time. A reliable company will always be able to tell you that their up-time for the past few month has been over 98%.

- Professionalism : Are you valued as a potential customer? It’s very simple to check this, most of the reputable web hosting companies out there offer live chat for sales inquires and not only. It’s very recommended to have a chat with one of the online sales agents and see whether they respond to your questions, help you decide on a plan or not.

- Great support: If you may experience some issues or won’t know how to use some of the features available, great support is essential, and it should be free for shared hosting plans!

Business cards are very important nowadays and I feel like they will always be important because of one simple reason: they are a must. Whenever going at a meeting, you will want to meet new people, interact with others and so on. Alright, you will talk a lot with them at that meeting but you will also want to talk with them later tomorrow so here’s where business cards are important – they will simply give one to you, which practically is a small card that contains little information about that respective person (name,occupation,phone/e-mail).

In return, you always need to have some business cards at you. Don’t fall in that shameful situation of not having a business card at you when someone asks you for one, you just can’t simple say “alright, do you have a pencil and a piece of paper? Write down my contact info!”.
