Sharing Microsoft Outlook Calendars is a great way for you to keep your employees, friends and even family up to date on what is going on in your life. Because Microsoft Outlook is a popular email utility, there is no better way to share your calendars than through this software. But, how do you share Outlook calendar information if you don't have an Exchange Server?

In the past Net Folders was available in Microsoft Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000. Net Folders allowed you to share Outlook calendar information with other people through email and you could even run a mailing list if you wanted to. With Net Folders you didn't even need to be using the same email system as your colleagues.

Unfortunately Microsoft discontinued and no longer supports Net Folders due to the software's instability which frequently caused Outlook to crash. If you were using Net Folders in the past, any information you placed in Net Folders is still available to you, but not to other users. Thus, users of Net Folders need to find a way that they can share their Outlook Calendars without an Exchange Server.

One option that you have is to use the Internet Free/Busy feature in Microsoft Outlook that allows you to see when people are free or busy. This feature was designed so that you could efficiently schedule meetings and events with employees, colleagues or any other users. But, there are a few downsides to this feature: . You can only see if a person is free or if they are busy. You can't see what they are actually busy with and why, therefore having limited functionality in many settings. Difficult to set up and to share with others. Requires setup of an FTP server to share the information. You must share your information through a FTP file server and you must specify the user rights. Setting up and maintaining an FTP server requires an always-on Internet connection with a static IP address, which goes beyond the capabilities of most people looking for a simple Outlook calendar sharing tool.

If the Internet Free/Busy feature works for you and you understand how to set up and manage an FTP server, then simply refer to Microsoft's website and instructions on how to properly set up and configure an Internet Free/Busy server at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;enus;827775. However, what do you do if you still need something that is a little more user-friendly and that actually offers full-calendar sharing features?

Another option is OfficeCalendar (http://www.officecalendar.com) by Lookout Software, an innovative addin that allows users to share Outlook calendar, contact and task information without Exchange Server. This product is drop-dead simple to install and use, and it makes sharing your Outlook calendars, contacts and even task information as easy as it gets. You are also able to view, share, edit and create new calendars with your colleagues and other contacts. All you need is a copy of Microsoft Outlook. Plus, you are able to choose who you want to share this information with and who you do not.

The best thing about OfficeCalendar is that you do not need an Exchange Server to do any of this. You also do not need any special hardware or experts to set this up for you. It's very user friendly and can be installed on virtually any Windows computer network making it great for offices and even home networks.

If you use Microsoft Outlook, especially newer versions of the software and if you were using Net Folders in the past, then you are going to love the functionality that OfficeCalendar brings your office or home. With OfficeCalendar you are able to take advantage of a number of rich and unique features that work with Outlook as well, including synchronization with your PDA or Windows Mobile device to your Outlook calendar, contacts and tasks that you use on your main computer system. This allows you to have a mobile office and keep your information up to date on all of your office devices.

The Power of Articlesaur Article Directory

The power of Articlesaur is its ability to gain exposure and promote its writers. At present, we have Forty-One general subjects covering a very wide range of subjects. This means that, as a writer, you are assured of finding a home for your articles. As a publisher, it means that you will find the material you are looking for.

The key to the process begins with quality writers and the volume and quality of article submissions that come in each day. This means that there is always fresh and original content to meet the needs of any publisher. This will in turn mean more publishers coming to Articlesaur.com to find their material and in turn greater exposure for the writers.

This is a win-win situation for both the publishers and the writers. For the writers, you will find that there is no cost to you to set up an account or to submit your articles. After creating an account, you will find that with each article you submit, your website will gain exposure and additional links to it. This will help you rank higher on any of the search engines.

You will also find that, since your name is attached to the article when it is published, you will become known as an expert in the subject you write on. This will translate into more business for your website and it will increase the amount of money you are able to make. When people see your name over and over they begin to look at you as an expert and someone they can trust. People will buy products and services more often from people they trust.

The power of this article directory is in what it can do for the writer in its ability to target your audience. This is because of the simple fact that the publishers that are looking at your articles are interested in what you have to say. They, in turn, provide an audience for your articles on their websites and newsletters and the people that read them are also people that are specifically looking for what you have to offer. This is something that you cannot get through any other medium.

With ads, you are never sure who is looking at them and how many simply go past them because they were not interested in what you are selling. If you write an article on a particular kind of dog and submit your article to Articlesaur.com it will be published by people interested in that type of dog. Then your article will be read by people that are interested in that type of dog. They will go to your website and look at your product or service and spend their hard-earned money with you.
