FREE Online FavIcon Generator
Use this FREE online tool to easily create a favicon (favorites icon) for your site. What is a favicon? A favicon is a small, 16×16 image that is shown inside the browser’s location bar and bookmark menu when your site is called up. It is a good way to brand your site and increase it’s prominence in your visitor’s bookmark menu.
Example Favicon: 
I personally use this free favicon generator to quickly create my icon files. I think compared to the other free tools out there, this one produces the clearest quality at a 16×16 icon dimension, which is pretty hard to do manually.
Click on the icon to the right to start generating your own favicons: 
This is a perfect tool for the bootstrap internet marketer or internet DIY business owner to get that extra professional appeal for your web site. Big thanks to Dynamic Drive for putting this tool online for free use!

With the attention on the April Fool’s virus, I was reminded about this FREE great service, which is the free online virus scanning by Trend Micro.
Trend Micro’s HouseCall is an application for checking whether your computer has been infected by viruses, spyware, or other malware. HouseCall performs additional security checks to identify and fix vulnerabilities to prevent reinfection.
The options that I used when I ran the Trend Micro online scan.
Like I mentioned in my earlier tweet. You should take the time to back up your important files today. Then make sure your computer is up to date with the latest security patches. Then run a virus scan with the latest updates if you bought an anti-virus software, or use a free service like Trend Micro.
You can find out more information about the FREE online virus scanning here: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
In my prior tweet I post a CNN link about the April Fool’s virus. You can find out more technical information about the April Fool’s virus here: http://us.trendmicro.com/us/threats/conficker-worm/

This will be really appreciated by all my GTD brother and sisters. I think XMind is a one up FREE mind mapping tool compared to FreeMind.
XMind, combined with online sharing service, provides a revolutionary way to enable both team brainstorming and personal mind mapping. With this major upgrade, it brings Web 2.0 concepts on community sharing into a popular desktop application.
XMind is now royalty-free and open source software. This means when you want to use an XMind fishbone in a spreadsheet, put your photos and media files into a mind map, or reuse your FreeMind or MindManager files, you’re free to use XMind without charge.
I have been using it and have been happy with the tools, features, usability, and appearance. Thank you XMind!

Conduct Your Own Online Web Meetings for FREE! The Free Alternative to GoToMeeting
What is Dimdim?
Dimdim is a free web conferencing service where you can share your desktop, show slides, collaborate, chat, talk and broadcast via webcam with absolutely no download required to host or attend meetings.
Intead of Paying $50 per month for GoToMeeting, use Dimdim for FREE!
FREE Online Web Meetings Made Easy!
The Dimdim Web Meeting service is available in open source, professional and commercial enterprise editions capable of supporting thousands of attendees. Dimdim just works - no software to download or maintain, and it takes only a few clicks to join or host your very own meetings. You’ll be meeting in seconds.
Includes FREE Conference Call Lines!
Dimdim’s built-in VoIP capability is a godsend to customers with limited access to quality phone service, providing free calling to and from any computer with a microphone and an Internet connection. And a free teleconference service to boot. Powerful video broadcasting, screen sharing and web page browsing features scale elegantly with your bandwidth automatically.
Get Dimdim for FREE at www.dimdim.com.
In 2008 I came across Dimdim. On trying it out, I found it to be a decent FREE web meeting solution. It’s nice having a dedicated conference bridge number. I can use the same number and code over and over again, unlike GoToMeeting, where I have to have a new number each time. I like the VOIP and Video Conferencing capabilities that are built into it. The video conferencing is not available in GoToMeeting.
There are some things that could be improved, like on a slow connection there are some latency issues. Overall it works out just fine. I’m a business owner and I work with people across the nation. I use have web meetings on a regular basis and it works just fine for me. I actually cancelled my GoToMeeting subscription, where I was paying $50 per month for thier service. Now I’m saving $50 per month! In these economic times, this is a valuable FREE internet business technology tool. Hope you find it valuable too!
Stay productive,
Brian McCumber
