Roundup : Hover, DoingText, DocSyncer, Notify.me, Delivr

Hover - We know services like bit.ly allow you to personalise a shortened URL with an optional custom name eg. http://bit.ly/abouthover. Hover goes a step further by allowing you to customise the whole URL. Which is pretty handy as all your shortened links could begin with your Twitter or blog domain URL. It also can custom redirect email addresses. For an installed version on your server see Shorty.

“For example, rather than sending someone a URL that looks like this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=kksy5dDKOzQ

You can use Hover to create “shortcuts” that look like this:
http://awesomelawncare.com/tips”

DoingText - there are lots of ways to collaborate on a document eg. Google Docs, Wikis, and more. But sometimes you just want a real quick and easy way like Writeboard, skrbl, doodleboard, Twiddla, and cl1p to some extent.
DoingText is one of these quick and easy ways, here’s how to get started. You get an RSS feed, download to PDF, create a presentation, share embed code, send direct message, version history, Activity/News feed, etc…

DocSyncer - will automatically synch changes in your MS Office documents to Google Docs. Also see Syncplicity

Notify.me - filter RSS feeds and get them delivered as SMS, IM, email, desktop app. FeedMyInbox does just email, Web-Alerts will SMS you updates about a URL, and there are some more here, like Pingie and an old favourite, ZapTxt.

Delivr - makes web content mobile friendly, also see the Google mobile friendly option.
