Friday Finds for 04/04/2008 - A Collection of Windows Tips

If you’re looking for a daily video-cast that offers short episodes with useful tech-tips and information, then check out Tekzilla Daily from Revision 3.

Tekzilla Daily is the daily short version of Tekzilla (a weekly technology video-cast). The show is just a few minutes and almost always offers helpful tips and information. Here is a quick list of some of my favorite “tip oriented” episodes. If you like what you see, head over to Revision 3 and subscribe to the Tekzilla Daily feed or any one of the other video-casts they make.

  1. What a great find. I especially like how all the Windows tips are in video form. Now if I can only figure out how to embed them on my forum. Thanks for this article. It’s a great help.

  2. I think they offer embed code to make it easy to add the videos to your own web site. Glad you liked the post and thanks for the comment.
