Friday Finds: Spring Clean Your Digital Home + Great Deals!

If you are looking for CBS The Talk’s Friday Finds, here is the link. I am not affiliated with CBS or The Talk, but I want to give you the info. Please enjoy this post while you are here!

Yesterday, I wrote about spring cleaning your diet. Today, I found some great tips on “tidying up your digital home” from Netted at the Webbys. They have 11 apps highlighted here. I am going to highlight just a few.

photoshrinkerSpace on your phone a problem? Try the free PhotoShrinker app on iTunes or on Google Play. If the photos on your phone are taking up too many precious GBs, use PhotoShrinker to compress them and free up space to store more photos, apps, and music! PhotoShrinker  compresses and optimizes photos to only use about one-tenth of the space of the original photos, while the image quality will still look the same on your phone. Make sure to save the high res images to an app like Carousel (by Dropbox) if you want to print or share them for printing.

PKT_Twitter_Avatar_v1_400x400Too many links, too little time? They also recommend Pocket. You may remember that Maureen  recommended Pocket to us earlier in the year. She said, “There is so much amazing content and information out there that it can feel overwhelming. I love to learn new things but also know that I only want to spend so much time devoted to that each day. Pocket is a great way to save articles, videos and more for later.” I added the (free) app to my phone and the bookmark button to my browser. I have been using it ever since. Netted recommends Pocket Premium and a special price to download full articles so you can work online or offline and more. Save 33% with Netted and get a year of Premium for only $29.99.

Use Cloud Convert (or the Cloud Convert app) to convert any file to any other format – including much more compressed ones – and get emailed when the job is done. You can convert up to 10 files free per day and buy credits if you have more to convert.  CloudConvert supports the conversion between more than 200 different audio, video, document, ebook, archive, image, spreadsheet and presentation formats. Check the supported formats for more details. I am going to try this one!
