Giveaway of the Day

Some of you may already know about this website but for those who don’t, it is definitely worth checking out.  Giveaway of the Day is a site where they give away one software program each day for free. 

They give away some excellent software!  Today’s software might be helpful to some of you if you intend to write content for your niche stores.  Today’s software is Typing Assistant.  Per the creator of the software, “When typing, a smart Typing Assistant prompt window opens to show you possible words you are typing. Then with one key stroke it completes the word for you. The program automatically learns the words you type, and automatically expands user-defined shorthand to full text, so that the more you use the program, the smarter it becomes and the more you find it useful.”

Here are a few things you need to know about any software you install from Giveaway of the Day:

• You must install the software on the day it is offered.  If you download a program today but wait until tomorrow to install it then you will be out of luck.
• You must register the software (if registration is required) on the day it is offered.
• If you ever reformat your computer and have to reinstall all your software, you will not be able to reinstall anything that came from Giveaway of the Day (because all programs are installable only on the days they are offered). 
• Most programs are for personal use only so make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before installing anything for commercial use.
• You can signup for their daily email so you never miss out on an opportunity.

In my case, I use Acronis True Image to make copies of my hard drive so if I find myself in a situation where I need to reformat my computer again, I will restore my system to one of my hard drive backups instead.  If the Giveaway of the Day software is on the backup then I haven’t lost it.  (I also always take a copy/snapshot of my hard drive after installing a Giveaway of the Day program for this reason.)
