Happy New Year! Welcome to the first edition of thr Surf Report
for 2007.
We are looking forward to a great new year and we are kicking it
off with some great sites, new prodcuts and great tips for
organizing your information.
As we start a new year we want to introduce to you to a new way to
search the web (might be the future of web search).
Plus a couple of great deals on third-party products that greatly
enhance askSam - ClipMate (special offer for Surf Report
subscribers) and File Renamer Basic (free).
We also have a list of our top eBooks from last year, how to use
askSam to keep track of things you want, as well as new training
dates in Florida for the cold winter months.
Enjoy,
Wade Goodman

1) Ms. Dewey - The Future of Web Searching? Possibly.
Wouldn't it be great to have your own personal web search
assistant? Someone to interact with while browsing? Someone to
personally direct you to the information you need on the web?
Let me introduce you to Ms. Dewey.
Ms. Dewey is a fully animated flash-based interface for
Microsoft's Windows Live Search. You might call it the future of
web searching. Ms. Dewey is definately not the best or fastest
search but the interaction definately makes it the most unique
and entertaining search engine around.
Ms. Dewey is a futuristic librarian of sorts who constantly
prompts you to the enter the right search, quickly grows impatient
if you spend time on the site without searching and even gives
humorous comments about your searches.
Give it a try - it's worth a look. But be warned, you don't want
to make Ms. Dewey your default web search becasue unlike Google or
Yahoo, Ms. Dewey doesn't like it when you don't search.

2) ClipMate - Never Lose a Copied Text or Graphic Again...
Cut, copy and paste in Windows is very limited. You cut or copy an
item and paste it but when you cut or copy another the next item
the first item is lost. Not with ClipMate. Clipmate is a powerful
windows cliplboard extender that allows you to save multiple items
to the clipboard and paste them when needed.
ClipMate remembers all the items you copy to the clipboard - text
and graphics - and makes them available to paste at any time.
Never lose a copied text or graphic again.
ClipMate's database holds dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of
clips - of all formats including Text, Graphics, and HTML. And
with ClipMate's search engine you can easily find your clips
quickly. Plus, the shortcut feature keeps your most-frequently
used clips right at your fingertips - ready to paste into reports,
letters, emails, etc.
It has a great interface and is easy to use. This is one of the
most useful products I've installed. You have to give it a try.
There is a free 30-day trial but I gurantee you will want to
purchase this one.

5) Wish List - Keep track of all the stuff you need
As usual, I didn’t get everything on my Christmas list. But
another birthday is quickly approaching, so there's still hope. I
just have to remember to pass along the subtle hints to my family
and friends.
I like to research products before purchase. Problem is, when I
get around to purchasing I can't remember the result of my
research and I have to start all over again. Same goes for the
music I want to buy, books I want to read, or movies I want to
watch. How do I remember it all.
And it's not all about me. I also need to track the hints my wife
gives for the perfect anniversary gift, books to buy the kids, and
which garbage disposal is best according to consumer reports.
askSam is the perfect place to keep track of eveything I (and
others) need (or want).
The WISH LIST template in askSam allows you to keep track of items
for yourself, gifts for others, book, movie and CD lists, product
research and more. Plus you can quickly search to find the
imformation you need or print lists to take with you shopping.
Track items by person, occasion, category and price and even keep
notes and descriptions of each wish or gift item.
To use the wish list template simply choose FILE -> NEW in askSam
and select the "Wish List" Template from the list. If you do not
have the wish list template you can download it from...
