This has a lot of impact especially on office workers who need computers to do some of their work in the office. The computer itself has a lot of fungi and can simplify the work of its users. To control the overall performance of a computer, a computer is usually equipped with a default application that allows users to see and control the activities that run on that computer.  For example on computers with Windows operating systems, they are equipped with a default application from Microsoft called Task Manager.  Task Manager has quite a lot of functions in a computer.

BlogThis! for Blogger/Blogspot was discontinued.  BlogThis! was a Chrome Extension that lets you quickly publish a blog post.  BlogThis would allow the users to just click on the extension icon and write the post.

Now you can publish a post in just few clicks. Only drawback though is, you cannot set a category of your blog post.
