Five on Friday - five fabulous web 2.0 tools and sites of the week (01-05-09)
May 1st, 2009 by Andy Merchant
Hi all, here are my five favorite web 2.0 tools and sites of the week.
1. First off today we have a Google product - Google News Time Line. The timeline organises search results chronologically. It allows users to view news and other data sources in a browsable, graphical timeline.
2. URL Zoom is a service that allows you to shorten long URLs and also create trackable tiny URLs. Another nice feature is that you can also see the referring site and the date and time that the URL was clicked.
3. PDF to GIF is a great little paid for service that, as the name suggests, converts your PDFs to animated GIFS. The package prices are all very resonable and dependent on the size and amount of pages you need converting.
4. Reshade offers you a way to create high-quality resized images online or offline maintaining image quality (edge and texture). This is great for creating avatars.
5. tmeet is a tweet to meet. You can send a tmeet about your location to tell your friends where you are. The site is based around Google maps and there is also an iPhone app available.
More of the same next week.
