Roundup : Trailfire Groups, Snap Shots, mowser, deliciousTags2OPML, iceflake, findmeon, 8hands

Filed under: tools, roundup

Trailfire Groups - Trailfire is a way to annotate the web and create a hyperlink trail…they have now added a group feature (your trail is limited to a private or public group), wiki trails (communal editing trails), and a contacts network [via Mashable]

Snap Shots - Snap Preview Anywhere has been extended to more specific displays; a wikipedia or Amazon link will display that content excerpt instead of just a preview image of the website; a media URL will display a photo slideshow, play a video or audio clip, see the gallery.
I wonder if someone can develop a SnapShot Grazr mashup, so when you hover over an RSS or OPML URL you can graze away…I think Clever Clogs is tinkering on this one.

mowser - bookmark this website on your phone and surf the mobile friendly web [via WW]

deliciousTags2OPML - enter your del.icio.us username and ask to show tags that have a certain number of bookmarks and above. It generates an OPML code, I had to copy it in notepad and save it as test.txt.xml. Then I uploaded it to Grazr to host the file…then simply graze the feed content of your del.icio.us tags.

iceflake and findmeon - these are both meta-identity services, see Tabber, LinkMyBox, Profilefly, Loopster, Spock, iStalkr, OtherEgo, Zoolit, ShowYourself, Streakr, SocialURL, SocialGrapes, pidy, Pipl, Wink, Mugshot, Profilactic, UpScoop, SocialNetwork.In, ProfileLinker, Ziki, Lijit, and the rest.

8hands - another meta-identity service, but you download this one, and you can IM with other 8hands users. [via mashable]

  1. Hi John,
    Yes, indeed a friend of mine and me are working on exactly what you describe: a possibility to open a Grazr panel adjacent to any hyperlink. We leverage Grazr’s built-in intelligence to discover feeds and OPML files from that hyperlink. This allows you to quickly get an idea for what else the author of that site writes about. We’re ironing out some functional glitches and need to get some cosmetic changes in. I’ll report back when it’s mature enough for a wider audience.

    I’m hearing that the Grazr people are considering to add a Resources or Community section to their website, which allows easier reference to scripts like this. Even I sometimes reinvent the wheel, just because I haven’t kept track properly of what’s already made available.
