E-Sport

There is a relatively new term called e-sport which is being used by many gamers. This term was created by gamers who were observing games like Battlefield or World of Warcraft. Both of these games offer interesting fights which are entertaining to watch by other people. Will e-sports be ever as popular as regular sports? It is hard to say, but I believe that anything can happen and in 20-30 years e-sports might be very popular, as more and more people will be spending time in front of their computers. Currently, there are tournaments being organized for the games I listed above, and a lot of people are watching them through online streaming.

Storing Your Important Data Online

You do not have to store all your data on a disk to have access to it at all times. It will be even more convenient for you to store some of the more important data online. If your computer refuses to work or something else happens, you will be able to access your documents quickly from any other computer from an Internet cafe. To do this, the easiest way is to store your data in your email. All you have to do is send an email to yourself.

I have confimed that it works with Gmail. Just click on Compose message or New message, type your own address, attach the desired files, and your email is ready to go. However, there is still another way you can protect your data. You do not have to necessarily attach them to your emails thanks to add-ons like Gmail Drive. Gmail Drive is a special add-on which you can have installed on your computer, and it can come very handy.

By copying your content to your Gmail Drive folder, the add-on will automatically send all its new content to your email account. There is absolutely no need for you to do it manually, as the add-on will take care of everything.

Choosing Between Browsers?

Which browser should I choose? This is the question which many people ask, while others spend hours upon hours in order to prove that their browser is superior. While I also have a browser preference, this is not really what I wanted to talk about this time, as I rather want to point out something. With so many browsers advertising that they are the best, we often feel like we have to make a specific choice, and that is not really the case.

Some people might not know it, but you can actually have multiple browsers installed on your computer. You can use Firefox, IE, and Opera interchangeably, and you do not have to be limited to just one. You may wish to use Firefox when accessing dangerous sites, as Firefox is considered to be the safest browser.

On the other hand, you may also want to use Internet Explorer when you want to open some of your bookmarked pages, because most websites are compatible with IE. You can use Opera when you feel like you want to quickly jump from one tab to another, as Opera is a very fast browser. Remember that you don’t have to limit yourself to just one browser

Should You Be The Next Problogger?

There are some bloggers in the blogging niche that try to imitate famous bloggers like Problogger. Whereas the idea of imitating something that has been proven to work is a good strategy, the question can be asked why would people need another Problogger in the blogosphere?


Why would I visit a blog of somebody who is imitating Problogger, rather than go straight to the original one where I am sure to find high quality content and knowledge accumulated over many years. I have been asking myself those questions, and my conclusion is that you should try to be different than famous bloggers, so that you would appeal to a different audience. There are at least a few ways you can try to be different:

  • Decide what your target audience is. You may decide, for example, that you will do everything you can for your blog appeal to young people. On the other hand, maybe you will want your blog to appeal to working adults, or to high school students.
  • Try adding another topic to your blog. If you already cover, for example, the topic of fishing maybe you should add another topic like exercise. If those are your hobbies than anyone else in the world who also shares your hobbies is going to love your blog.
