Ask Questions via CircleUp, Get a Consolidated Answer

ask questionsIt's a boring Friday at office and you're already planning how to spend the weekend with your colleagues and friends. You have to decide which movie to watch and which restaurant to dine at from a plethora of choices.

You are likely to send an email to the entire group, collect their responses and then make the decision based on what the majority has to say. That requires way too much effort.

Enter CircleUp - a free Q&A service that will solve this very problem. You send your questions over email or IM to a group, CircleUp will collect the various responses and display them in an single, well-organized result. No more copy and pasting of information from emails to Excel sheets.

You can attach images to your questions (like Google map directions to a restaurant). The responses to your question can be shared with the entire group, or you can just keep them private. People can respond without having the sign up for service.

CircleUp may be used as an RSPV service to effectively plan that dinner at your home. And since the emails or IM reach friends with your email address, they are more likely to treat that as personal mail and respond.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
