Interesting Sites of the day

As I read articles, and surf the net, I jut down sites that call my attention so when I have the time, I can go back  and check further..   Up until now, I have been just keeping them on my to-do list, and then mark them off when I get to them.  I figure, why not just list them in my blog now…   So in no particular order, and with no rime or reason, here are the last few  ones I’ve checked and investigated a bit..  (recommended to check are listed as: )

• www.jingproject.com –
  Free tool that lets you grab a a portion of the screen, or a video, and then you can share. GREAT for demos.
• Online teamwork / collaboration:
  • www.etherpad.org –   wrote about this one on this post – Great application for taking online / collaborative notes
  • www.skrbl.com  –   Simple and easy online multi user whiteboard, start skrbl, give out your URL & start working together. Sketch, text, share files, upload pictures all in one common shared space.
  • www.twiddla.com –  an whiteboard  for collaborative meetings or web-site annotations. No client software needed –
• Online alternatives for PowerPoint? Fully feature?
  • www.280slides.com (1)– it is interesting, but sticking with PowerPoint.
  • www.sliderocket.com – excellent interface and features.
• www.projjex.com – A set of integrated web-based apps and tools for managing Professional Services firms –

• www.evernote.com –  a long time user  of this one, but considering augmenting to ubernote.com
• http://www.syncmycal.blogspot.com/ – Multiple Calendar Synchronization (outlook, + Google and others)
• www.30boxes.com – an online calendaring tool.  (Have not checked it fully yet, but sounds promising.)
• http://www.elasticserver.com/   – let’s you put together servers in a cloud computing environment.
  It is very much like  www.3terra.com  or Amazon EC2 but less expensive (I think) .   Focused only in Linux.
• www.visitmix.com – MIX is an online community of  web designers and developers who build and believe in the innovative web.  Fantastic keynote sessions from MIX’08 and MIX’09 videos .  Worth the time to listen to it, even if you are not a designer or developer.
