How to Easily Transfer Files Across Cloud Services

How to Easily Transfer Files Across Cloud Services:

Cloud storage services like Google Docs, Dropbox, Amazon S3, etc. have made it easy for you keep your important files and documents online. These services are mostly free and you can have multiple accounts on them as long as you use separate email addresses.

This leads to another problem though. When you have files spread across multiple cloud services, managing them can be challenge. You may have stored one group of files on Dropbox, the other on Google Docs while some of the older files could be hosted on your old Google Docs account that you abandoned long ago.

Would it be nice if there were an easy to way to manage / search all your online files from one place without having to download them to the computer first?

Meet Otixo – an impressive web-app that lets you access files stored across different cloud service from a central location. To get started, you associate your Dropbox, Google Docs, Picasa, Amazon S3 and other online accounts with Otixo and then you can easily move or copy files between any of your accounts via simple drag-n-drop.

Otixo supports FTP so it can also be used to directly transfer files from any FTP server to Google Docs or Amazon S3 without having to write complicated scripts. You can even add multiple accounts from the same cloud service - like your old and new Google Docs accounts – and transfer file across these accounts easily.

Otixo offers unified search to help you quickly find all your files that are otherwise spread across multiple cloud services. You can delete files, create new folders, or upload files from the desktop to any of the associated cloud services. Everything just works. [via Netted]

Boost your Wi-Fi Signal with an Empty Can of Coke

Boost your Wi-Fi Signal with an Empty Can of Coke:

A piece of Aluminum foil is probably the easiest and cheapest way to boost your Wi-Fi signal.

You just need to position the foil behind the antenna of your wireless router and the curved foil will then direct the Wi-Fi signals in your preferred direction thus boosting the overall signal strength.

Other than using an Aluminum foil, as Kim Komando explains in the following video, you may also make your own Wi-Fi extender at home using an empty can of beer or soda.

The cans are obviously more sturdy than the foil and the can’s lid acts as a stand but you need to be a bit more careful while cutting the can’s body with that knife. Also make sure that the can’s inner body is completely dry before you slip it into the router’s antenna.

However, more than 48 hours of videos are uploaded on YouTube per minute. So, how can you make your video more visible and viral?

Below are some of basic optimization steps to get more traffic and more views from YouTube:

Try to pick the keywords that will bring more traffic and leads to your website. And make sure you must include the keywords in title and description.

2. Write articles about your video – Create a brief blog post on the same topic as your video that links to your article. Make sure that you are optimizing YouTube SEO.

3. Use customized thumbnails – Create a good thumbnail that catches eyes. As you all know more than 50% of views come from related videos.

4. Encourage comments on your video – Allow visitors to comment on your video. Because the more you can work on other social activities, the more exposure you will get. If you create more buzz, users may come to your page to see what has commented.

5. Use hyperlink in the video description box – Links starting with “www.“ will not be considered as hyperlinks. So make sure to include “http:// “ in the description box. This is important if you want to drive more traffic to your website.

6. Use annotations –It is a great way to point your visitors to watch out your other videos. At the end of every YouTube video, create a text effect (call to action) like “click here for more videos” or “subscribe to my videos”. It redirects your users to another video of yours instead of leaving it.

7. Keep your videos short – If your videos are short then people will love to share them. If it is too long then it may become boring. Remove unnecessary parts by cutting either by Windows Movie Maker or built in YouTube tool.

8. Link with social networking sites – let the world know about your video. You should embed your video into social media sites like twitter, reddit and facebook.

9. Initially make your video as private, allow it to process, do all the customization and then make your video as public once it is completed. No one likes incomplete work.

10. Describe your video in details. But don’t make it as spammy.

We hope that the above steps will help you to create effective videos based on the keywords and get you more visitors on YouTube.
