Does my computer have to be online for synchronization?
Yes, with the new version SYNCING.NET 2.0 you need to be connected to the internet for synchronization! Because of SYNCING.NET uses a peer-to-peer service for synchronization, that means a direct connection between at least two computers, it have to be at least one more computer online to get changes from other participants. (This is not needed if you checked the option SYNCING.NET “Configuration -> Options -> General Settings” “Enable Store and Forward”. To get more information, please look here: Store and Forward)
The computer has also to be online if all participants are connected in the same local network (LAN). The peer-to-peer service is always trying to create the fastest connection between the computers, if this is possible over the local network, the data transfer will not go over the internet.
If you are using the old version SYNCING.NET for Outlook with the LAN mode, you don’t need an internet connection. The change requests will be stored in the local network on a network shared folder. For synchronization there have to be also at least two computers switched on (not online) and one of the both computers have to be the computer where the network shared folder is located.
Hooking into “Social”
Taking a look around the web we now see many areas people like to congregate. While blogs are a favorite stop the social media crowd are visiting some special websites and forcing them into the spotlight nowadays. It remains to be seen just how much one can monetize Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, etc. but what is true is that people enjoy interacting with one another in these virtual social playgrounds. People want to be there, together, and therefore businesses want to be there too.
Unleash the Marketers! In come the snake oil salesman, the sheister, the carpet bagger and the uncreative all whom crowd the social arena along with the good people, businesses and services that really could benefit from one another. Perhaps it has always been this way when business tries to reach customers but the new(er) social media venues seem to bring an old world, carnival feel. Everyone and every business of all qualities are mixed together.
From a marketing perspective you do want to be there to rub shoulders with the crowd BUT from a good neighbor point of view the marketer needs to be there with useful information. Metaphorically speaking, every business and marketer needs to leave the bad hair piece and synthetic leisure suit at home and then come and play on the social networks. Be there to share and have your good deal, useful information or worthwhile service at the ready but enter with your personality first, not your product.
It’s about the connections. It’s networking. It’s fun and works very well when properly performed.
News: More comfort with SYNCING.NET 2.7
June 3, 2009
The new SYNCING.NET version 2.7 is released and offers even more comfort in data synchronization.
Now SYNCING.NET uses NSIS installer for optimization the installation of the program. This is a great advantage for users because there is only one version for all Windows operating systems. This simplifies the installation of SYNCING.NET, especially in a network with different users, where not all members have the same version of Windows on their PC.
Also there are improvements for some dialogues which aid users with creating a new file or Outlook sharing network. Thus, the program offers them extra help with frequently asked questions and problems. In several dialogues there are thematically appropriated links to the FAQ pages of SYNCING.NET. If you have any problems, you get quickly to the right question on FAQS and don’t have to look long for the answer. Technical problems from the old version are of course corrected in Version 2.7. That allows users to install SYNCING.NET on Vista x64 systems without any problems.
Surviving a computer crash with SYNCING.NET Outlook Backup
May 26, 2009
The German software company SYNCING.NET expands its Outlook synchronization edition with a professional backup. All of your Outlook files, the folder “My Documents” and browser favorites can be easily backed up and restored. The intuitive software is easy to use and works in unison with any version of SYNCING.NET Home or Professional Edition.
The program is tailored to meet the needs of different users. Beginning with the initial setup, the user can choose from an easy to understand menu which displays which objects should be secured. Personal settings can be saved in a batch file or as a desktop shortcut. The backup can be executed manually by the user, or automated by defining a start time. Especially beneficial for users who do not regularly work on their PCs is a batch file or desktop shortcut. Therefore, the user can define when to perform a backup without having to again access the main menu.
With SYNCING.NET Outlook Backup, you can save the contents of .pst files, such as E-mails or Calendars, and even the individual Outlook settings of a given user. This can save valuable time during the re-creation of Outlook following a computer crash – the program is quickly returned to the user-defined settings. Additionally, you can save all folders in “My Documents”, browser favorites (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera) as well as Office correction lists and settings. In fact, the backup software is extended beyond Outlook.
An additional feature enables the user to copy the backed up data to external media. A backup file can be very large due to the number of objects and folders it contains, often exceeding the space of a CD or DVD. SYNCING.NET Outlook Backup offers a split function solution, where the backup file can be divided into several smaller files. The user can then select between pre-defined standard sizes for CDs, DVDs or floppy disks or even create a user-defined capacity.
Computer crashes are often unforeseen and affect the unprepared. With SYNCING.NET Outlook Backup, these problems can be mitigated. The files can be restored with minimal effort and the user can define the data he wants to restore. The non-selected data rest safely on the backup file and wait for the next computer crash.
