(This is not paid review or something of that kind, but my honest opinion about this software)

Hi All, I am back again to assure you that this blog is alive and would go on with useful posts. I have a backlog of topics I want to write about and one of those was about the useful tools I use for my blogging or online routine. In coming days, I would be sharing the number of tools (mostly free) I use in my online business or for my computer systems.

Today, I used this video converting tool to convert one .mov file to .avi for some reason, and I thought why not to tell everyone that it’s out there available for free. You never know many of you might be looking for one.

I searched for this free tool when I wanted to convert some video files in .mpg, .avi, .mov into .flv and .swf formats and I found one the all-in-one video conversion tool AVC (Any video converter). I am using it since last few months, and have been very happy with the conversion of video files into .flv or any other formats.

It allowed me to change the video size, video bit rate, video frame rate etc and change the Audio options as well. You can almost convert any video file from one format to another format. It can convert almost all video formats including DivX, XviD, MOV, rm, rmvb, MPEG, VOB, DVD, WMV, AVI to MPEG-4 movie format for iPod/PSP or other portable video device, MP4 player or smart phone.

I was very impressed with the ease of use, preview of the video being converted, and usability of the software. I am adding the snapshot of the software so you can have a quick look at it before you want to download the free copy of the Any video converter.

It also has the professional version which is paid, but you can try free copy and then decide whether you would like to get the pro one. I don’t need it now, the free version is good enough for my needs, so I don’t have experience with pro version yet.

Since internet has spread into roots, things have become much easier in all terms. Whether it’s searching for places around, finding maps and routs or anything else that seemed almost impossible few years back.

When it comes down to finding any person by his phone number, it still is not so easy. Simply the reason is to maintain the privacy of the individual. But some unsocial elements take benefit of this and harass others in various forms like blank calls, threatening over the phone. Fortunately, I did not experience this myself, but I can still understand the it’s need if the situation arises.

Just imagine a case, where a caller is harassing you calling anytime but you cannot trace him or find out whether it’s seriously someone harassing you over the phone or your friends playing pranks. It’s easy to lodge a police complaint and get it sorted but normally we prefer to find it out on our own.

Many of the phone line owners allow their personal information like name and address to be revealed publicly and they are listed.  Reverse phone number search is the answer in such situation where you get to know the phone number and you need to find out the person’s details like name, address and any other records.

When it comes down to unlisted phone numbers or unknown number who are calling you, companies like Net Detectives are helping people. They charge only one time fee like $20 or something, and give you access to such service for life time. Believe me, that’s really a good offer, simply because small amount like $20 can give you mental satisfaction and worry free time.

Apart from this major benefit of knowing the unknown callers, this service can be used to locate people as well. Like a detective, these services would bring you all the information needed for small one time fees.

Let’s think from an employer’s point of view now. You are going to recruit someone in your company or business, and you want to know the history of the person. These services could help you as a detective by giving you all information about the past records of the person like criminal records or even can check FBI files about the individual.

Though you may find it like not needed information at this moment, it always helps to keep such websites at back of your mind – because you never know when you would need it, right?!

Almost all of us believe that photography is one of the most creative hobbies and professions. A single photograph can be interpreted in a different way by individuals. It also is a hobby that I desperately want to pursue, but it never stops me from having a peep at high quality visual images. Conde Nast store features world-class photographers. And I am sure that I am cent percent correct about it. Just look at the quality of pictures. It’s taking you in a different world altogether.

The Vouge fashion illustration can turn out to be very good paintings for restaurants, homes and hotels. The black and white prints give that classic look to the place. I have been gifted a black and white framed photograph by a friend of mine. I have placed the frame at my desk, for which I have won impressive looks form colleagues!

Some people eat to live, but many people like me live to eat! I am a complete foodie and love to try new dishes. Well, it could be a surprize if my food love stops at eating the food only but it also extends to cook food (yesterday itself, I tried to learn something new in the dishes) and food photography. These photo prints look the best in kitchen and of course on walls of restaurants. I have a couple of paintings depicting food items in my kitchen. I feel these paintings work as appetizers when I enter the kitchen!

All these quality photo prints are available at Conde Nast Store. Who would not want the painting to be long lasting? Each print you order from the Conde Nast Store is reproduced on Hahnemuehle pearl printing paper using state-of-the-art digital equipment. These prints are quite durable; they can last for more than 1oo years. Larson-Juhl hardwood frames can also be selected from a large range of variety. So the point is, it makes sense to have a look at the paintings and check out if you can buy them in the States.

Long back, I had started a tech gadget blog that I needed to shut down due to lack of time and pattern of gadget blogs to replicate the news rapidly. I don’t claim that I could publish the latest gadget news ahead of all others, but then that was the constraint for everyone. Except few established blogs, everyone else has to gather the news.

The best way to establish yourself quickly with the latest technology news is to keep track of release dates. Every technology geek is excited about release of new gadgets and their features. If your gadget blog is loved by Google search engine, you might end up in top ten SERPs earlier and get a big pie of search engine traffic. To understand it little better, you may check out gadgetadvisor.com.

Though it’s not out of the world gadget blog, but still it’s trying in it’s own way to stand out from the crowd. I could see the posts on homepage emulate the method we just discussed. Though the posts on universal remote control is interesting and talk about latest updates but still it lacks uniqueness. Similarly network media player post follows the same path.

What I would suggest here is to incorporate the advise from experts about these new gadgets than only detailed information on these gadgets. What the blog could do is, compare with similar existing products and advise the readers whether they should go for it on some rating scape of say 1 to 10. Common, here is one more way to make it interesting! Figure out the common factors of the gadgets like price, features etc, include them in every gadget post with stars next to the factors. Gadget advisor can review the gadget and add it’s stars to the gadget’s factors that would be compared with others similar or not similar items. This addition would actually live the blog up to the name of the gadget site.

Of course, it’s not like the posts here are all latest info posts on gadgets but you can look for suggestions on the services like they had given their advise on online backup services. Probably, this is something I was looking for and it’s the perfect way to make your blog unique. Any blogger’s opinion counts and it would matter a lot when your blog would establish in the blogosphere.

How to survive in fish market of gadget blogs?

The technical gadget blogs not only survive and but row ahead very fast if they tend to be unique and first to serve the news. As I just mentioned, the blog should not replicate or copy the news from other sources that are the most common places visited by techie readers. When I say replicate or copy, that means even the blog post pattern too.

If you observe, every gadget blog has couple of gadget pictures, and they talk about the very latest unbelievable gadgets like bar code scanner pen for personal use. This rule needs to be broken if you want to look different.

Gadgetadvisor.com has been running on the path of being unique and providing the best resources out there. Due to their commitment towards selective content, I would strongly hope to read some quality content over there.
