My Free Tool Giveaway: Today I Have 2 Powerful Yet Amazingly Simple and Free WinZip Alternatives for Ya!

Up and at it early this morning, I found these 2 Fantastic, Free WinZip alternatives.

JustZIPit: Simple & Free ZIP Tool


The ZIP compression market is flooded with feature-packed software, but JustZIPit is not one of them! In the field of ZIP software, JustZIPit is "the little ZIP program with less". So how is "less" a good thing? Well, the idea is that ZIP software has become unnecessarily complicated -- frustrating to most users who just do not need more complexity.

JustZIPit simplifies ZIP and UnZIP compression all the way! Discarding all clunky interfaces completely, JustZIPit simply ZIPs and unZIPs -- all with one click from the context menu. A powerful ZIP engine with fast full automatic implementation of ZIP-64 for HUGE file support -- which means JustZIPit is among the most powerful ZIP tools at any price -- good thing it's free!

JustZIPit just does ZIP and does it very well - no fluff, no confusion. No more annoying ZIP interfaces -- JustZIPit and go!

7-Zip: Full featured, powerful, innovative.


This freeware ZIP program is the only one in it's pack to really push the bar on technology. Although 7-Zip is best known for its support of high-compression non-ZIP technology (7Z), it also does a better job than WinZIP or PKZip on regular ZIP compression! Check out their compression comparison chart on their home page:
7-zip.org.

Although their browsing interface is a bit of a kludge, they have provided an "Add to Archive" command on the context menu which makes it pretty simple to ZIP up any folder. Also, not all ZIP tools support creating of SFX (self-extracting) files but this one does. 7-Zip will automatically use its superior 7Z compression in the SFX files -- resulting in a compact package that literally slaughters the competition (WinZIP SFX Maker ~ $60).

In this case, the free app is far superior to the commercial app.

Enjoy and come back often for more free tools!

My Free Tool Weekly Giveaway

Often I'm online searching for new tools and resources to use in promoting my websites, products and services, or just trying to find something to make things a little easier and I'll come across a tool or resource that is truly helpful.

Much of the time, the tools I come across are Free, so I thought, - why not let others know?

So, once a week starting today and more than likely on Sundays from now on, I will be presenting all of my readers with Free software, tools and resources that I personally use and that you too can use in your own online and offline business endeavors in some cases. I'll also provide a quick review on each and I encourage everyone who uses these resources and finds them useful to please leave constructive comments and suggestions.

Here's something new I recently found while searching the Net.

Online Office suites are very appealing. They offer the ability to have documents stored online and available anywhere you can access the Internet, no matter what operating system you're using. There's no software to download and install, no upgrading hassles when new features are added or bugs eliminated, and no upfront or ongoing expenses. The ability to share a document with several users without your own server is equally tempting, as is the price tag for many of these services: absolutely free.

The best suite I've found is an Online office suite called ThinkFree.

If you're looking for document compatibility with Microsoft Office, you want ThinkFree, hands down.

ThinkFree Write allows you to insert images from clip art, from an image file, or directly from Flickr, a popular photo-sharing service.

Right-click on a misspelled word (which is underlined with a red squiggly line) and ThinkFree Write offers properly spelled alternatives.

There's undo and redo, zoom levels and the ability to save files as PDFs. You can also publish your documents to your own Web site using HTML that ThinkFree generates, attach ThinkFree or Microsoft Office documents to articles in your WordPress blog or other options.

ThinkFree has also incorporated a Flash-based presentation viewer into the online office suite that enables you to embed Adobe Flash versions of ThinkFree Presentations in a Web page, for example, or a blog. When a visitor clicks the presentation, the viewer enables the visitor to watch the presentation―without having to navigate to ThinkFree Docs and open the presentation directly.

With ThinkFree Docs, you can SEARCH, SHARE, & PUBLISH documents with anyone around the world. ThinkFree Docs is an online community of publishers and entrepreneurs who share a variety of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can use ThinkFree Docs together with your ThinkFree Online account.

Out of the four Online office suites I checked out, which included Ajax 13, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, ThinkFree Office Online and Zoho Office Suite, ThinkFree Office provides the most sophisticated features and the best Microsoft Office compatibility.

The suite has so much more to offer and I really don't have the room to include it all in this post so...

Check it out for yourself. It's 100% Free!
