Day 112 -Non-Internet Equivalents to Internet Tools I Use

A lot of people out there still think that the internet is very scary , it's the unknown and they are afraid of using it , but if you think about it , it is very similar a lot of non internet thngs I used to use.



Email- This is easy. Email is equivalent to the postal delivery system only faster. You can send packages of documents, letters or scanned documents for signature safely and quicker with the use of Internet email.

Flickr- Flickr is a site that is equivalent to buying or selling a postcard. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and this site proves that theory correct. This is a market where you can exhibit digital pictures for sale or go to purchase a picture. Envision an open-air market where you are buying a postcard to spice-up your correspondence.

Twitter- Twitter is a big one. Twitter is equivalent to the Chamber of commerce , Your monthly Get-Together where you can pass out business cards, brochures and small sales pieces



Google- Google is a search engine. It's equivalent to an index in the back of a book. You decide what you are looking for and it gives you the page. Difference is Google may give you thirty million pages for your subject, but the top ten are usually the best. This is another really cool idea.

Blog Readers- this is a tool I use a lot. When you subscribe to a blog. Which is equivalent to a journal or magazine. You have to actually go to that blog everyday on the Internet and physically check out its content to see if you would like to read it.

The reader allows you to subscribe through a technology called Really Simple Synchronization or RSS. Then when you open the reader all the blogs are there with titles and a sentence or two about their content for the day. Kind of like a newspaper but you decide what you want to read about everyday.


Don't forget EBAY - my personal favorite- Just imagine it being a HUGE shopping mall where you can find old and new stuff and very affordable prices , and all of that in the comfort of your own home.

Well there you have it six Internet tools I use and their non-internet equivalent.

Pretty cool.
