Library clips

Haven’t got time to post individually on these new services so they are all bunched up into this post. I’ve noticed this has been happening lately on some blogs, there are so many new services, that we can’t pay attention to them all, so round up blog posts are increasing.

I may do this from time to time, these are posts that need more attention then my del.icio.us bookmarks (even though I re-syndicate my del.icio.us bookmarks in the feed of this blog) this way they will be seen on the blog as well.

UniveRSS - a 3D RSS feed reader for Windows Vista.

weezu - search chatting, similar to Others Online

LetMeParty - SMS posts to your blog, simple as that!

TagCrowd - enter some text or a file and it will generate a tag cloud showing word frequency the cloud way…also includes code to embed it into a blog post.
Imagine using TagCrowd for audio or video, clicking on a tag would give you the index spots where these terms appear, although this is more word occurrence rather than conceptual aboutness…I think someone has done it.

Turbo Tagger - tag generator for blog posts
…see more.

Badged.net - footer buttons for your blog posts

Cellblock - take a picture on your mobile phone and email it to a Cellblock, each of your cellblocks has a unique email address. Each cellblock plays as a type of slideshow, you can even embed a cellblock into your blog…MyTago is kind of similar.

PixPulse - send your phone photo’s to a photo social network, with widgets for your blog…flukiest is a similar service.

STAMPS - SMS a note to a communal map

Website thumbnail previews - hover over a link to get a thumbnail image

Zimbio now has private groups…now make your own private Community of Practice (CoP)
I like the idea of these all in one tools, also see GROU.PS and complore.

Blogger has private blogs.

Gotvoice - converts voicemails into audio files

Spinvox - converts voicemails to text

Yackpack - send a voice message to a group in an email.
It is also a chat service, group members login and push a button to talk to the group, see s photo of who is talking

Grouptivity - a system where you can manage contacts into groups and email participants with form like templates

Zyb - back up your mobile content

ScanR and qipit - take a photo with your phone and it will be scanned into a PDF and sent to you in an email

Phonifier - see a mobile friendly webpage…this could be a good idea as a print friendly page for my blog posts

rminder - send yourself reminder SMS and voicemails

MT1 - Listen to your emails and docs as an mp3

Newzpile - another one of those meta-searching widget services

Wengo - similar to meebome, but with video

Feed Harvest - what the hell is this, some kind of way to centralise RSS, maybe it’s reading desktop feeds as a web based version.

Technorati Link Count Widget - footer for each post that notates how many people link to the post and you can click on it to see results in Technorati, although a small ajax window would be good instead of having to go to Technorati. My closest idea to this is to pop up a grazr box and read the posts of the people who link to your post within the Grazr box.

del.icio.us tagometer - same footer utility idea, but to submit a post, it also links to the URL history (how many people bookmarked this page)…see more.

Recommendzlt - yet another tag app

Quintura - a new type of clustered/related terms visual search tool

Hictu - a place to keep all your contacts and their online presence…plazes, feedmap seems to be missing…Hictu would be great as a widget for a start page. Maybe each contact could also have a link to an identity management site like Ziki, Lijit, Profile Linker, claimID, Naymz, simplifID, etc…see this somewhat related post.

Internet Address Book - find a person and add them to your contacts, it’s kind of similar to an identity service, you can even create a widget for all the social networks, etc. you belong to.

Google Reader notifier - similar to the Bloglines notifier, I’d like it to pop up toast, perhaps we will leave that to Touchstone.

Scrybe - there are so many of these PIM tools, the sharable all-in-one calendar, tasks, to-do, notes, etc…
The difference here is that you can use it offline without installing anything, and next time you on the net it will synch…see more.

Wallnote - manage notes with desktop and web access, also has offline synching

Wrike - group task collaboration

BlogKits and Performancing Partners - ads on your blog

Tag Bulb - search the tagosphere (similar to TagJag)

mixlet - search news filtered by format

pmeme - a people memetracker

Perth Norg - News 2.0 citizen journalism for the city I live in, Perth.
Make your own for your city in a social network wiki with OnMyCity.

OPML to HTML Convertor - also see OPML2HTML

Amberjack - website tours

Mapwing - tour widget

Gobits RSS Reader - web based RSS Reader and a blog creator

email me bookmarklet - some people use their bookmark manager to remind them to read stuff later, but another choice is a temporary bookmark service like ListMixer or Scratchlist.

Zebtab - RSS Reader widget for your actual desktop

tiny tiny RSS - web based RSS Reader

Anchorman - RSS Reader and feed creator

Fonpods - audio on demand for your mobile phone, more precisely, you join the website and have your own RSS Reader for audio posts or podcasts, but instead of downloading the audio files like a Podcatcher does, you instead ring up and listen to your podcasts (no downloading and you don’t need and mp3 player, all you need is a mobile phone).

A similar service is Podlinez, a podcast directory with phone numbers next to each entry, just ring a number to listen to the latest podcast from that website on your phone…or enter the podcast URL and it will churn out a phone number.

Authorati - rating service for your blog posts…similar to bumpbox.

MyopenID - no need to register at a website if it is openID enabled…URL based login.

BizBar - make your own toolbar

TinyRSS - sidebar RSS Reader

page2RSS - monitor pages without feeds…see PonyFish and others.

Geo Visitors - visitor map widgit, similar to ClustrMaps (formerly hitmaps)

WhoLinksToMe - more for your ego

ZAP Reader - this is like speed reading, type in a URL or just some text into the box, and you will be able to read that text much quicker.

eg. enter the URL of this blog post
http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2006/12/27/catch-up-on-web-tools
into ZAP Reader:
http://www.zapreader.com/reader

Set the words per minutes and click play, you will see the text flash…since you only read one word at a time, it seems logical to this service that you only see one word at a time.

You can change the settings to read more than one word at a time, and change the speed, font, etc…

They also have a browser bookmarklet, and blog plugins.

SlickRun - similar to a hotkey program

Short Keys - program text into just one key eg. pressing one key will show a whole paragraph, or program the letter “b” to display your blog URL, etc…see more features.
I think this is different to a hotkey program which launches programs eg. press “m” and your email will launch…see Yahoo! Shortcuts, YubNub, Ambedo…and more.

Also check out Sugarcode.

Some others I found are Direct Access 1.0, AppRocket, KLP, AutoHotkey, Practisearch, fKeys, and ActiveWords.

Speaking of hotkeys, I just found out if you hold the CTRL key and rotate the mouse wheel you can change the font size on a page…see more.

osk.exe - mouse operated screen keyboard

Another cool find is to find out the date/time when a webpage was last update, just type this into the address bar and press go:

javascript:alert(document.lastModified)

Bloglines Playlists - create Playlists from your feedset…they could achieve the same thing if they enabled tagging instead of folders.
But I do like the idea of creating a disposable playlist, at the moment if I want to hand a friend a set of feeds, I’d have to create an OPML at BlogBridge Feed Library, Technorati Favourites, Blogdigger Groups, Top 10 Sources, etc…and I don’t want to do this as this will also create a HTML public page.
All I want is a disposable unique OPML, this seems a great feature for RSS Readers or even and add on, ie. select feeds and generate a unique OPML URL to give to a friend…see OPML Generator (this is not unique), FeedShow OPML Builder…see more.

Hack your Feedburner chicklet - simply change some text

SpringWidgets - on your startpage, desktop, blog, wherever you like, even as your customised Feedburner latest posts (see ya later Headline animator).
NOTE: why don’t the blog posts on the animator link to the posts, instead of the blog homepage.

mon.itor.us - monitor websites and provides a widget version…seems more focused towards competitive intelligence compared to WatchThatPage and Feedwhip.
