Cool Tools

Cool Tools for Webmasters from Darlene & Frank:

  • Site Maps
  • Bling
    Create Flash animations
  • Maps
  • Yahoo! User Interface Library
  • Flickr
  • More Photos
    • 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)
  • For Libraries
  • Firefox

    • 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 :)

      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:
