How Can You Possibly Sort Through the Vast Clutter of Available Web Resources? By Keeping It Simple.
"Web 2.0?" "Cloud Computing?" "3G Networks?" "IPhone Apps?" "Bloggers and Blogs?" ?????
Society and the way we work and live are being remade by the Internet (the "Web," "the Cloud"). About 7 million new pages go online each day and it is estimated there are between 3 and 6 billion pages of information available on the public web. (IMSA Micro Module: How Many Pages Are There On The WWW?)http://21cif.com/tutorials/micro/mm/growth/
Over 3 million web sites exist, and the focus now is on refining and expanding that presence, figuring out how to utilize Web technologies effectively to fulfill mission-critical objectives.

How can each of us, exposed to way Too Much Information (TMI), possibly filter the clutter to take advantage of--or even keep up with--the incredible array of free and very cool new technology, tools and resources that can inform us; help us be more productive; get us answers to everyday questions in an instant; and keep our lives organized in this 24/7 flood of information?
Tech4You sorts through a tiny portion of this vast Web-enabled universe to tell you about a few things that we think work.
We'll find some of the amazing, simple, effective, usually free resources, tools and information that reside on the "Cloud." We'll tell you a bit about how each one works and what it does. And how you can use it from anywhere at anytime if you have the right tools.
And we'll keep it simple.
