The future of business is in the cloud

With the advancement of technology and broadband speed, most businesses can now benefit from a live backed up online service for all their data and emails. Cloud networking has revolutionised how we work with computers, tablets and mobile phone devices; not so long ago backing up files and emails had to be scheduled at the end of each working day, by a tape drive or media storage device, and then had to be taken offsite for safe keeping. These backups although fairly reliable, can fail, get lost, damaged or forgotten and only go back to the time you backed up.

Now, with cloud networking, you work directly via a server in the sky (not literally) making backups instant and live, updated from the moment file are changed or emails are sent. Live synchronisation lets you go from your work to your home office, and have exactly the same data no matter where you are. Mobile phones and tablets can also access the same data whilst on the move, so in effect, you are never away from your office and can relax knowing that everything is backed up without you having to do a thing.

What happens if the internet goes down?

The biggest question we get asked with cloud services is what happens if the internet goes down? well yes it happens but because cloud networking syncronises offline files, you will never be away from your data, as soon as the internet goes back online, all your data will synchronise and you will be up and running as you were before. Another good reason where this can benefit you, with a traditional setup your emails will stop coming into your computer if your office internet goes down, with the cloud, you can continue to work from your mobile phone or tablet using it’s 3G network, and as soon as your office is back online, all your sent emails will be synced with your office computer.

No photofeed, I can only see my own photo’s

In 2012, Facebook removed the photofeed from your home page allowing you to just view all your friends photos in one place without having to look at the unnecessary nonsense posts, status updates and adverts. If you are like me, sometimes you just wanted to browse your friends photos to see what everyone has been upto. OK, well because the feed is no longer there (unless Facebook decide to bring it back), here is a workaround with extra benefits.

Solution

Well the solution is to find a working App that does the same job, and without the issues of it posting things on your wall without your knowledge.

Step 1) Install the APP

In the search box at the top of Facebook, type in “Pixable” and click on the app and install. “Allow”  the application when prompted and close the “Invite friends”

Step 2) Move to favourites

find the APP on the left hand menu under Apps, left click  the “edit” pencil shown on the picture to the right, and choose “Add to Favourites”

Step 3) Stop notifications and unattended posts (optional)

If you don’t want update notifications or your friends getting messages like “try this app” then its best to disable any notifications by doing the following.

See the image to the right, click on the “edit” pencil symbol next to the app name.

Next close the “X” as indicated on the second image below numbered 1, and then change the notify to “never” as indicated by number 2.

Thats it, now click on the Pixable name under your favourites and see all your friends photos, and notice the extra useful tools such as the heart shape “add to favourites” allowing you to collect all the best photos in one place, tweet them or even add other feeds into your Facebook like Flickr.

Ps. To “Like” a photo, you need to click on the photo and the like button is on the top of the comments feed on the right hand side but you have allow the app to post on your behalf when prompted.

I do hope this helps you guys, please feel free to leave comments below, it’s always good to hear what people think.
