Do you have a Facebook, a Twitter, an Email Account, a Flickr, or a YouTube account? Who doesn’t? Almost everyone in the world has one. Socialising on the web is great fun but what happens when the social networking service could be hit by downtime. Or your social media accidentally deleted your account like Mirco Wilhelm, whose Flickr account was mistakenly wiped out, along with the 4,000 photos, comments, and working hyperlinks in it, could have saved himself some amount of heartache had he backed up his online data.

It’s not uncommon for people to save their data all over the place on their hard drive – or even on multiple computers. But have you considered backing all your online data? All your tweets, photos, videos and even your wall posts. Mirco could have saved himself if he had signed up for Backupify, a handy utility that backs up social and cloud-based services.

Are you organized? Or like to organize? Are you a “pen and paper” person that likes to take notes? And “post it” and “planners” are your best friends.  Well, pen and paper, are quite arguably the greatest productivity tool ever created to date. Some people like to stick to the old school method of organization, but most of the times face the seemingly never ending search of all the notes you have taken. Sometimes you have to spend quite some time sorting all the notes you have gathered from one project to another. Frustrating, isn’t it?

I’m sure you know that sometimes pen and paper is a good solution, but sometimes you have to stop and think though:  are you actually slowing down your productivity, or helping it?
