Computer Troubleshooters Franchise and Popdrive Join Forces

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Computer Troubleshooters announced a partnership with PopDrive, an innovative new backup and storage product from DHK Storage today.

David Klein, President of DHK Storage, explains the benefits of the unique PopDrive product: Tape backup is too slow. It can take hours (or days) to run the backups and they are often unsuccessful. Single external hard drives are often not reliable. The PopDrive is a portable, external USB/eSata data storage device that contains two laptop hard drives. The two hard drives are mirror images, configured in RAID1 mode, so all data is copied to both hard drives at the same time. You will not lose your data if one fails. Klein showed the PopDrive system at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, where it generated a lot of industry interest.

Randy Knapp, Computer Troubleshooters Assistant National Director for Vendor Relations states, Were very excited to add PopDrive to our arsenal of small business IT solutions. Through our franchise network we are currently providing IT support to over 10,000 small businesses in the US, many of whom are risking critical data on traditional external USB drives. Our partnership with PopDrive will allow us to provide a much safer and much faster backup alternative to our small business clients, and when used in conjunction with some of our cloud-based backup options really provide the perfect data security solution for small businesses.

About DHK Storage founded in February of 2010 by DHK Enterprises, Inc. DHK Storage is the creator of the PopDrive and currently has a U.S. Patent Pending on its technology. David Klein is President and can be reached at 703.870.3741 or at http://www.popdrive.com.

About Computer Troubleshooters provides a full range of computer and technology solutions to small-businesses and individual computer users. Services range from onsite and remote support services on demand to monthly monitoring and service plans, virus and spyware remediation and protection, VoIP Telephony, Cloud Computing, Web development and many more technology services.

Facebook to Join Forces With Skype Confirmed In Response To Google+ Hangouts


Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 08, 2011

The successful trial launch of Google+ last week has left the online community waiting in anticipation for Facebook’s ‘Something Awesome.’ As of yesterday, barely a week following Google’s launch, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a partnership with Skype to bring a One-on-One Video Chat feature to Facebook; a move which experts say is in direct response to Google+ Hangouts. The announcement was met with mixed responses as some remained indifferent and others said it was downright ‘un-awesome’. James Schramko shares his views:

“The first time I fiddled around with Google+ was a week ago, the first things that struck me about it were the two of its most prominent features: Circles and Hangouts. They really hit a sweet spot there. Circles addressing privacy issues and Hangouts creating a meeting place for friends to ‘hangout’ and meet each other face to face – in groups – while on the web.”

Google+ was intentionally designed to capitalize in the areas where Facebook was found lacking, thus adding the Circles feature which boasts increased control over what updates friends are receiving over the Stream (similar to Facebook’s Wall).

The Hangouts feature is really what caused an uproar, apparently not only on Facebook, but on video conferencing altogether. Services like Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live, AIM and Skype have had the video call feature for quite some time, though they either do not have the capability to make group video calls or do not offer the service for free – like on Hangouts which supports up to 10 people at once. Reports say that video chat on Facebook will remain one-on-one for now.

According to reviews by experts, Google may actually have a platform ‘almost’ ready to topple the seemingly unstoppable Facebook which now has over 750 million users worldwide. Some speculated that the social media giant may actually hit the 1-billion-subscribers-mark by the end of the year but that was before Google+ made its timely (or untimely, depending on POV) appearance.

Though Google’s attempts to rejoin the social media community have been successful so far, James Schramko says it is too early to speculate on the outcome as both companies have powerful features loved by many.

“The integration of video calls into Facebook chat is certainly going to be welcomed by its users. Millions worldwide stay in touch with loved ones and friends through Facebook and the addition of video adds intimacy over long distance communication. Google still has plenty of work to do if it is going to win Facebook users over. I feel we are in for a number of surprises still, as both giants compete to provide better public service – it’s exciting!” -James Schramko
