Gmail Now Lets You Save Attachments to the Desktop via Drag-and-Drop
Saving dozens of e-mail file attachments to your computer just became a hell of a lot easier.
Google has added a new feature to Gmail: the ability to save file attachments by simply dragging-and-dropping them onto the desktop. If you hover over the file icon or the “Download” link for any attachment, you’ll notice the new text prompting you to drag the file to your desktop to save.
We just tried out the new feature, and we have to tell you: It’s really as simple as it sounds. There is one caveat to saving file attachments via drag-and-drop, though: The feature is only available in Google Chrome. Read more

[Note from Ros: You have no idea how proud I am that I managed to use (with help of CNN.com of course) the word "egregious" on my blog. Oh! And the alliteration! I can barely sit still. Can I get a round of super-impressed applause?]
(CNN) — Composing an e-mail is kind of like making out: Everyone assumes they know what they’re doing, but in reality plenty of people could use some pointers.
My Top 5 Outsourcing Tips
August 3, 2010 by Ros Null · Leave a Comment
As a Virtual Assistant I regularly speak with new clients who have had bad experiences in past relationships with VAs. They come to me after stepping back and trying to go it alone for a while, until they realize that to take that next step forward, they simply MUST have support. During my discussions with these clients, I have discovered that there are five problems that are usually contributing factors in the breakdown of their previous outsourcing relationships. These problems could have easily been avoided had both parties entered the relationship with the right expectations at the outset.

I love it when I discover new social media tools that will really add to my experience of existing social media tools. (Complicated sentence I know). That’s why I was super excited to discover Rapportive a fantastic tool that integrates with your Gmail (and MailChimp) and allows you to see more information about a person’s social media habits.
When I open an email in Gmail, the rapportive tool bar loads on the right of the message (where the text ads usually are) and shows me all the information associated with that email address online. I can see at a glance what social networking sites the sender belongs to. If they have a Twitter account. What their most recent tweets were about. Website links, headshot and much more. It’s an incredible way to research and build a relationship with a potential client/boss/investor without leaving your inbox! Read more

As we wind down to the holidays…(The Edge closes on Friday 12/19) I have a ritual of sorts. Every year at around this time I carve out time to get things in order. I go through my handouts, manuals, incentives and gift items and update the contents, copyright and often the covers and formatting. I also go through my harddrvie and clear out and file everything away. It’s not my favorite thing to do, butexperience tells me that I will be so much better for it in the new year.
