Cool Tools for Webmasters from Darlene & Frank:
Create Flash animations
- Wink
Not very sophisticated – great for tutorials - Powerbullet Presenter
A bit more sophisticated
- Communitywalk.com
- yourgmap.com
- mapbuilder.net
- googlemapbuilder.com (not free – but powerful)
- Web Gallery Creator (goes through directories on your computer and creates pages with pictures and thumbnails)
- BIMP Lite (compresses photos in batch mode)
- Gliffy (quickly draw and share diagrams on the web)
- Conduit.com (make a library toolbar)
- Duplicate Tab
- Tails Exports
- Browster
- Google Notebook
- Linkification
Learn more from Darlene’s Furl List – and hopefully the ppt will be online soon so I can link to that – because this is just the list I was able to catch
[update]Darlene put up the slides[/update]
[update2]Kate Carter has created a list on del.icio.us of all of the tools mentioned[/update2]






Oooh.. I really needed Duplicate Tab. Thanks!
For creating screencasts/tutorials you may want to try camstudio – see: http://www.camstudio.org/. It’s free and a little easier to use than wink. great postings.
Free http://mapbuilder.net seems to be more powerful compare to commercial googlemapbuilder.com.
BTW, is it against TOS to charge fee for access to Google Maps API?

I’ve been using Gliffy for a while and really like it. There’s a competitor out there called Cumulate Draw. It doesn’t have the features as Gliffy but doesn’t need Flash. I’ve just written a review at my blog. My blog is to uninstall ALL applications from my desktop and replace it with online tools. Check the review out at:
