Do you ever just want to leave a voicemail for someone without having to risk them actually answering their cell phone? slydial seeks to give you the upper hand in leaving voicemail messages, by providing a way to get directly to someone’s voicemail box!

When would you want to use slydial? If you just want to leave a quick message and don’t really want to get into a long, drawn out conversation about work, their latest surgery or what Paris Hilton is doing in LA.

Everybody loves the Internet’s dynamic nature.

It is constantly changing and evolving to meet the needs of its users.

A few of my favorite web applications launched new features this week, or at least they hit my account this week!

Of course, you should check out my posts about the new WordPress version 2.6 - WordPress 2.6 Released a Month Ahead of Schedule and Shareaholic - Shareaholic helps you share your favorite websites, if you haven’t already.

Evernote is gaining fans all over the blogosphere with its free, feature-filled service that works on various platforms - Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile, online, offline; and is sync-able and searchable!

The coolest feature is Evernote’s handwriting recognition. Just start typing in the search box for whatever word or string of text you are looking for, and watch Evernote find it for you!

I am a huge fan of StumbleUpon - the social networking site that lets you set preferences and find site that you might be interested in - and share them with friends!

But as a blogger, I am always interested in how often my pages are Stumbled (added to StumbleUpon’s databases).

I found a simple JavaScript bookmarklet for Firefox at The Internet Entrepreneur Diary that can let me know with one click whether or not a page has been Stumbled.

Stumbled?

Simply drag and drop the “Stumbled?” link to your “Bookmarks Toolbar Folder”. Now, you will have a shortcut on your Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.

Sometimes you don’t have cable tv (costs too much), sometimes you are studying all night and miss your favorite shows and sometimes you have a dual ear infection and really don’t feel like doing anything but watching internet televisions cause you can’t sleep.

No matter the reason, there are plenty of options out there to watch your favorite shows or even pick up a new series or two and watch them in their entirety. These are in no particular order - I use multiple sites to find exactly what I want to watch.

I routinely misplace my cell phone and although I know it is here in my apartment, I can’t always find it easily. Where’s My Cell Phone solves my problem of a lost cell phone easily. I submit my phone number via the site and wait for a call - the ringing will help me determine where I hid my phone from myself or misplaced it.

What a wonderful, free tool to help us geeks - it is even faster than emailing or IM’ing a friend and asking them to call your cell phone for you, so that you can find it!
