Software Applications

Software applications are increasingly evident and crucial in so many aspects of everyday life that many of us would have a hard time getting through a typical day without the use of some of them. Whether they are on a PC, a Mac, or most recently, on our cell phones, these software applications have drastically changed the way that many of us live our lives at home, on the go, and in the office.

Microsoft is world renowned as being one of, if not the best software companies in the world. Their Office suite of products includes software for word processing, spreadsheets, email and calendar tools, and presentations. Word and Excel are two of the most widely used and universally acceptable programs within the business world, and often time, are a required skill set for individuals looking to land a position within a company. These applications have revolutionized the way that we track, analyze, present, and share information with both internal and external customers.

Blogging has become an increasingly popular way for people to share their opinions and discuss just about anything that is one their minds. Applications have been developed specifically to assist with this new style of information sharing, such as Windows Live Writer and BlogJet. This software can prove to be invaluable to its users by providing them with the ability to create blog posts offline and makes the addition of files, YouTube videos, and images exceptionally easy. Spell checking and auto replace can also be run before transferring your completed work to the blog post of your choosing.

Another task that has become a seeming necessity to many is the ability to burn copies of CDs and DVDs from our computers. Applications such as Nero and CDBurnerXP have taken much of the guesswork out of these tasks and simplified the process to the push of a few buttons. Creating high quality CDs, DVDS, and even HD DVDs has become a reality for many users that possess little to no technical skill.

Instant messenger applications have helped to address our growing need for immediate gratification. There are no shortages of quality applications that provide this service, but one of the user-friendliest apps for communication with networked computers is Softros LAN Messenger. It provides all of the necessary features of an instant messaging program without some of the frivolous features, such as emoticons, which may be frowned upon in a professional environment.

Users of the popular Apple iPhone have been blessed with an ever-expanding library of software applications that can do just about anything. The Tweetie 2 application allows users to manage multiple Twitter accounts, translate foreign tweets, and connects Twitter followers to your address book contacts, right in the palm of your hand. The Yelp application connects to reviews of bars, restaurants, and other business and can provide a realistic, digital view of nearby establishments simply by pointing the viewfinder in its direction.

Good, bad or indifferent, software applications have become as much a necessity in our lives as food, oxygen and water.
