The holidays are officially
here! From now until the New Year it will be
non-stop shopping, parties, eating, wrapping, spending and
overdosing on family. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?!
A few notes for our clients,
we will be
closed on Dec 24th and 25th..and we hope you are
taking those days off as well! The best way to get a ticket
opened is to email us at
support@network-it.net or
call us at 860-345-7440. And lastly, please let us know if
there's a way we can make things run more smoothly for you
during this busy time. And for those of you who aren't
clients yet......why not??

 It
is our pleasure to introduce the newest member of our staff, Ken
Mewes. The addition of Ken provides Network-IT with a dedicated
staff member to work with clients and future clients to
understand business needs, and ensure we provide the right
solutions from a technology standpoint to meet those needs.
While we've always prided ourselves on being a trusted advisor
to our clients, having Ken on staff ensures we have the
resources necessary to be more proactive in this role.
Ken comes to us from a long history of working in Information
Technology, most notably in the area of IT research. His IT
research background gives him the breadth of knowledge necessary
to work effectively with business owners in defining solutions

 RSS
What is it? Do I need it? Do I want it? RSS stands for
"Really Simple Syndication". Which is a family of web feed
formats used to publish frequently updated content on the
web such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS
document, which is called a "feed", contains a summary of
content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS
makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite
web sites in an automated manner rather than checking them
manually.
RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS
reader", or a "feed reader"....and now Outlook 2007. The
user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into
the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that
initiates the subscription process. The reader automatically
checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new
content, downloading any updates that it finds.
So whether you're interested in the news, your favorite
sports team, politics or a host of other topics an RSS feed
will help you keep you informed. The orange icon (seen at
the beginning of this article) on a website indicates an RSS
feed is available.

 Outlook
2007
Outlook didn't get the radical makeover that Word and Excel
did. But the changes to Outlook 2007 are all positive and
provide new tools to help users manage their time and
information. Using the To-Do Bar, and Instant Search, you
can organize and quickly locate the information that you
need. You can now easily "flag" a message for follow-up with
a right click and it automatically becomes a task.
Categories are now color coded and easy to see at-a-glance
which category an email has been assigned to. Through new
calendar publishing and sharing capabilities, and electronic
business cards, you can more safely share any data stored in
Office Outlook 2007 with coworkers, friends, and family, no
matter where they are located.
Initially you may need to take some time to find your way
around and to locate the new features. Here are some
resources:

an Electronic Business
Card (EBC) in Outlook 2007, with your contact
information a picture and even your company's logo. You
can share your EBC and even use it as your
email signature.
