I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing blogs on my beloved Samsung NC20. Blogs are a great medium to express our views. The normal way of reading and writing blogs involves adding text and some images. Recently while digging through cloud based applications for my netbook, I came across Glogster.com, which redefines the blogging technique with a new concept, 'glog'.
The latest Buzz
Sharing personal updates with hundreds of known and unknown people through Twitter on my notebook is a great pastime while traveling. I loved to do the same with my Google contacts too.

However, I found a better portable alternative for my netbook, 7-Zip Portable.

Rate movies on the go
If you ask me about my favourite hobby, I'd say "watching movies"! I love watching movies, and ever since I got my Samsung NC20, I watch movies even on the go. Before I watch a movie, I'd surely check out its reviews to know what others think about the movie. I also rate and review movies to share my views about the movie with like-minded people. My favourite website to rate movies is IMDB, but recently I came across a similar website with additional features. It's Flickchart.

I run a lot of web apps, browser windows and chatting applications on my netbook. Every now and then my netbook becomes really slow and all my applications hang for some time.
