I wrote out a new article this morning. It was one that I have thought about writing for awhile now but never got around to it. So, this morning I forced myself to open up a word document and at least start it. I found that I had written three paragraphs in no time. I did get on my soap-box a little though.
Hopefully this list of free software will help someone out there to be more productive.

No big suprise here, Google grabs 77% of the world's search engine market.However, Baidu and Yandex are ranking very high on the list after Google. The Chinese search engine Baidu has gained 8% of the marketplace, while Yandex the Russian largest internet company is creeping up rapidly with 2%.
Back in the European market, Google still has major exposure but again we see the Eastern European search engines coming up on the flanks.

The most important thing when starting a new CRM system is to plan in advance how you want to configure the software to your needs. Don't just open it up and start creating accounts, leads, categories etc...
I have come across Javelin which seems to me to be an excellent CRM system. A feature that I love is when you are sending emails to your clients, Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) your the emails to your Javelin "dropbox" and it will associate it with the correct contact. You can then view all communications with your contacts without having to copy and paste them into the system.
I would give it a 7/10

But then I thought I'm sure others are having the same issue. So I integrated the calendar into my website but It started to get a little crowded as I started adding in events from other counties. I then split it up into a few different calendars, one for each county.
Hope this helps someone out there. http://dakor.ie/news/irish-business-events/

If I need to find an Accountant, I actually have to search under O > Other Business Services then I find Accountancy Solutions. It's obvious, I can't believed I missed it, of course Accountants are going to be under O!! Here's an idea, if you are going to classify something in letters, then at least put Accountants under A!
This has got to be one of the most user-UNfriendly facilities that I ever came across. Please people, if you are going to create an online feature think outside-in and not inside-out. Think of your customers first, how will they interact with your directory?
