Well, Im looking for ways to tell people how good Islandnet.com really is and I found that using cotweet.com works really well, you can search tweets, reply real time, add new follows and its all instant, really a great little tool to discuss your company with people who perhaps are disillusioned with there own hosting services.
I also like addictomatic, you can find references to your company all over the internet, Google Alerts is also a useful way to find out if the word is getting out and too.
I had an inquiry from a customer of Islandnet.com on playing video’s on low bandwidth connections and my answer may be useful to others:
| QUOTE OF MY REPLY TO THEM: |
| I understand that the slower cable connection for your Internet is causing some issues with Watching video’s and this is not uncommon.
One option would be to stop the playback and let the loading bar at the bottom of the video fill up before hitting play.
Alternatively, there’s one free tool that should help make watching YouTube videos a smooth experience. I recommend installing SpeedBit Video Accelerator for YouTube http://www.videoaccelerator.com/ (The HD accelerator you pay for, you don’t necessarily need it)
If your a firefox user you could also try an install Sothink Web Video Downloader for Firefox v5.5 http://www.web-video-downloader.com/, this would allow you to download the video to your computer and then play it locally. |
I was asked about an error in newer Mac Mail version, it was: “Some actions taken while the account “xxxxxxx” was offline could not be completed online.”
Mac Mail will fail to synchronize after this happens so here is the fix I found and tried out, it worked when I guided the islandnet.com customer through these steps:
|
1. Make sure your Mail program is closed
2. Open Macintosh HD (double-click on it)
3. Select your Home folder (it will be on left nav bar with the picture of a house)
4. On the right side of the window, double-click on the “Library” folder (to open the folder)
5. Double-click on the “Mail” folder
6. Remove (move to the trash) the “IMAP-youremailaddress@here.com” folder
7. Close everything and open Mail to confirm it has been fixed
