Hackers are getting more and more active on the web, so it becomes quite mandatory for the people like us to secure their data. The best way to secure the data is by backing it up. You can either use desktop applications to backup your data or you can go for online data backup storage sites. A lot of people think that storing data online is quite risky as anyone can steal it but let me tell you, it’s one of the hardest things to steal data from the online storage sites, their servers are well secured so you don’t need to worry a lot. There are hundreds of online data storage programs but not all of them are worth trying also almost all of them are very expensive.

So, here we have got the list of Top 5 Free Online Data Storage Sites.

Dropbox

Dropbox is one of the most popular online data storage website. Dropbox has got quite a lot of plans for its users to choose from. Dropbox free plan allows its users to store data up to 2GB.

This program is already doing well. If you are willing to spend the money then you can choose the premium plans which even allow you to store 1TB space!

Badongo is a really great online data storage program. The best thing about this site is that it offers the unlimited data storing space. Don’t get dragged away, there are some drawbacks too. You can download only 4.8GB per day, downloading speed is restricted to maximum 500KBPS, you have to download only one file at a time.

Box offers you 5GB to 50GB free space. The storage size depends upon the device from which you sign up. If you sign up using their desktop application then you will get 5GB space free but if you will sign up using the iPad then you will get 50GB free space. Box is really fast.

Internet is the best source to learn. There are numerous websites made on many different topics over internet. There is almost every kind of tutorial available online. Some of them are free and some are paid. Some website also falls in a category which claims to provide the free classes or lessons but have some hidden charges. Same is the case with the free online piano classes.

Some websites do not have any extra or hidden charges but they give only a few basic lessons on piano playing. There is no use of getting incomplete or half knowledge of any thing. Such website asks for a paid subscription to give the complete lessons which is actually cheating.

There are numerous website offering the free online piano classes, but there are only a few legitimate ones which actually give the classes for free. Never mind, I in this piece of writing will tell you about some of such good websites which actually provide the free piano classes online.

If you want to learn piano for free, go for any website mentioned below-

1. Zebra Keys: I would consider this website as the best to learn online piano for free. Despite of being free, all the lessons in this website are written professionally. The site has a very clean layout and a very easy navigation. The site also has a piano keyboard designed in every lesson page to make it more explicable for you. You might feel as if you are learning to play piano in a real practical class.The keyboard given on the lesson page is made very plainly and each key is visible clearly. Every key has a letter beneath which makes it easier to learn. The Z-Board V1.0 provided by Zebra Keys is the best place to practice a song after learning a lesson. All the chords and notes are displayed on each key.

2. PianoNanny: PianoNanny is one of the best sites to learn piano online. This site offers the detailed lessons and also some expert lessons and that too absolutely free. The lessons are so elaborated that just reading would be enough for you to understand the basics of piano playing. There are keyboard images with every lesson page helping you to visualize which key you are actually learning at the moment. PianoNanny also has the apps like ‘Student Note Pad’ and ’12 note companion’ which help you to take the important notes of the lessons taught and to practice them up.

3. Plern Piano: This site has some fun tools which makes the online piano classes a fun place. It has a interesting mode of teaching and a very simple interface. Using the special tools in the website even the beginners can compose music from scratch or even can create a song. You can also import the music from MIDI file. It offers a graphical representation of keys.

4. BerkleeShares: This website provides the free music classes online. It not only teaches piano, but also guitar, bass, brass and DJ. BerkleeShares also provides turntable training. It has the music lessons either in PDF format or as Youtube Video format. The videos are 1-2 minutes long and PDF format has about 2 pages which include embedded music clips. The lessons here are very short and simple to learn.

5. MusicTheory: This website also provides the free lessons of how to play piano. It has 37 lessons in all. The syllabus in MusicTheory has 3 music utilities and 10 trainer applications. These trainer applications are also offered in ZebraKeys but MusicTheory has more of them. The lessons here are very though. It has a keyboard app which let you test the taught techniques.

All the above mentioned websites provide detailed knowledge and you may soon be an expert piano player if you learn trough them.

Apple, with or without Jobs, is still the top dog of the market and therefore, it is quite expected that there will always be a steady if not overwhelming demand of iPad apps. Since iPad users are much in the habit of cutting down on complexities be it sharing a photo on social media website or editing images while on the move, a trend has already been set among social media marketers to have different photo sharing and editing apps. This helps them simplify their daily tasks of updating different social media account. However, none of them is full-fledged alternatives of photoshop or its likes, but they can still help you ease up your work pressure to a great extent.

Still wondering which app to embrace and which to shun, read this write-up and you will have clear idea of what might work for your and what not:

picTransfer for iPad Lite: You should not judge an app by its price tag. There are zillions of apps available that are really great and do not cost you a penny. So, rather than going for the paid photo sharing application at the very first shot, why not test your hands at something free like picTransfer for iPad Lite. Yes, I know it comes with a visual distraction in the form of nagging pop-up ads but given its other advantages, I dare say you can overlook it.

This app lets you transfer images between any iDevices, which is certainly impressive. But again there is small glitch. You cannot use this app for transferring images from your PC to iPad or vice versa.

Filterstorm: Besides being loaded with a barrage of awesome advanced features, this app is a fun for novice photographer. However, its advanced features need you have a level of authority on the art of photography before being able to use them to your advantages.

It comes choc-a-blocked with brushes, gradients, vignetting and a wide range of colors. Verdict – this app is definitely not for those who at photography for the first time. Just get your hands dirty at the job and then try this app and hopefully, you will have a hell of a time.

PhotoPal: Do not get disappointed, if you feel that you are not that much tech savvy to be able to use Filterstorm, there is a great alternative available that does not require you to be a hotshot photography.

Even first time photographer can have their hands on this app and get away with it without messing up things. Options are great and they are overtly simple. However, do not take it a basic photo editing app. It has enough sparks in it if you wish to explore. You can make changes in the color balance, color temperature, exposure, hue, saturation etc and that means; enough options are there to make images look awesome. Just need an adventurous spirit and there you will be playing God with images. I liked this app personally as it helped me simplify promotional activity for my coupon blog that has best offers discount coupons on snapfish, mixbook and other photo sharing websites.

Photo Transfer App: Though this app may not be treated as the must-have app, it is still good enough to give a lot of them a run for their money.

This app simply takes out the concept of complexity from photo sharing thing. It does the job of synchronizing camera with your PC and iPad and which is a great relief for a photographer.

Adobe Photoshop Express: Though Adobe and Mac does not have a friendly relation, this does not stop the development of Adobe Photoshop Express.

This app is basically a miniature of mainstream Photoshop application and has a semblance of the great image editor. You can do the basic job like adjusting the color, brightness, flip, crop etc with ease. Its effects and filters are good enough to make the photos stand out from the rest.

Overall Review of Whtsup

Using this site has been easy and I haven’t been having any kind of problems. This site just needs to be reach more people and it will certainly profit more. Whtsup is a good site overall but doesn’t has much traffic. But I am sure that the people working at the site will expand the site sooner or later and many people will be profited and their sites would be getting a lot of traffic. I am sure of that.

Hosting group calls has become a necessity in this technological era, from every day social individuals to business owners and employees. Everyone needs to communicate with the people in their life, and many like to host group calls so that they may speak about a particular topic once with many people, versus calling them one at a time to share the same news. Conference calling is not only great for businesses, but for family and friends too. There are so many different reasons that you may need to make a conference call, and so many more different providers and programs out there. The need for conference call providers and services keeps rising significantly, so many programmers and businesses are stepping up to the plate to supply programs that meet the needs of different groups of individuals.

Here, we are going to discuss some incredible android apps that make group calling a quick and effortless task.

Talk2Group: Our First Mentioned App

This application is growing in popularity, especially among social casual users of group calls. It is easily used for making these calls, and has an easy to use interface. It makes the process incredibly simple for all recipients of the call, too. All you have to do is start by entering a subject for your group call- then add your contacts. That’s it! Of course, you will need to download the application to your mobile device, and create an account first; but these are one time set up procedures, and will occur with any conference application. Once you add your contacts, those individuals will receive a message with a number to call, and the subject of the conversation. They can then call this Talk2Group number, and be instantly connected with the group chat. This is a wonderful application, especially for those with large social circles!

Moshi: Integrating Other Communication Accounts

This is another great application for conference calls, and it makes integration much easier. This application is also free, and allows you to connect with other communication platforms; such as GTalk, and Skype. This makes it much easier for you to add contacts, and invite other users. Since Skype is becoming widely used for businesses and professionals, this seamless integration can help you to make conference calls between coworkers easily. It also does not require that others install the app to join the conference call, so you are spared the headache that comes with requesting everyone to download the app so you can hold group calls.

Free Conference Calls: Mixing Group Calling With Pure Simplicity

This is yet another wonderful conference call app for android devices! You can make free conference calls shortly after downloading this application, cutting the need to integrate other accounts. This is especially helpful if you do not already have Gtalk or Skype accounts. When you set up a conference call, you are given the phone number, the moderator pin, and the conference number. This application is as simple as they get, bringing a whole new meaning to “as easy as 1, 2, 3!”
