You Can Do A Lot Over E-mail

Have you come across a situation where you don't have access to the Internet but can send and receive emails? Well, the good news is that you can do a lot of things over email without the Internet. Just save the following email addresses in your address book.


pdf@koolwire.com : You have an Office document or a picture on your computer or mobile phone that you wish to convert into a PDF file. Just email that file as an attachment to the above address and it will return to your Inbox as a PDF file.

upload@upload.slideshare.net : If you have PowerPoint Presentations and PDF documents that you want to share with friends, just email the files to this Slideshare address and the documents will instantly become available as a web slideshow.

wsmith@wordsmith.org : Get the dictionary definition and synonyms of any word by sending a blank email to this email address. Make the subject line: define myword
get..@photos.flickr.com: Flickr provides a unique email upload address to all its members - you can send your photographs to this email address as attachments and they'll show up in Flickr Photo gallery. The subject line of email is the photo's title and the body of the email is the photo's description:


pdf2txt@adobe.com : Send a PDF document to this email address as an attachment and it will come back as a plain text file. Handy when you don't have a PDF viewer to open the PDF document. Alternatively; you can send the PDF file to pdf2html@adobe.com for conversion to HTML format.

...@rmilk.com : When you sign up for Remember The Milk, you are assigned a unique email address. Emails sent to this special address are automatically converted into tasks and appear in your to-do list.


.@mms.youtube.com : If you have a video clip on your computer or mobile phone but no access to YouTube (because it's banned in your office), you can still upload that video file using this email address.
And now the most useful email address that will help you read any webpage through email without requiring a web connection:

www@web2mail.com: Just send an email containing the URL of the web page in the subject field (e.g. www.cnn.com) and you'll find a text copy of that web page in your Inbox. You can use the above web-to-email services to receive on-demand stock quotes (finance.yahoo.com/q?s=YHOO), currency exchange rates (finance.yahoo.com/q?s=USDINR=X), without an active web connection.
