Five on Friday - five fabulous web 2.0 tools and sites of the week (08-05-09)
May 8th, 2009 by Andy Merchant
Here is this week’s installment of my top web 2.0 tools and sites of the week.
1. TechNews.AM is first up today. As the name suggests TechNews.AM is all about technology news, it has a broad range of categories to view, from jobs to start ups. You can either select the latest stories to read or the most viewed. A great way to catch up on the latest tech news.
2. Omgili has been around for a while now but one feature inside Omgili is pretty neat. Omgili buzz charts lets you measure and compare the Buzz of any term. The Buzz is defined as the percentage of the term out of the total number of discussions Omgili covered on a specific date. You can also embed the Buzz Graph inside any web-page and monitor the buzz on a daily basis.
3. Tweetbio gives you a simple extended bio that gives your followers, potential followers, and the people you’re following a better sense of who you are. Quickly link to all your other sites, blogs, and Twitter Networks from your Tweetbio.
4. wikiAlarm is the first monitoring service to send email alerts when selected articles are edited on Wikipedia. It is easy to use and lets you track unlimited pages, monitor your products & brand names as well as competitors.
5. Finally, we have the LinkedIn Companion. This Firefox add-on allows you to open doors and opportunities for networking and the facilitation of finding projects through LinkedIn’s connection to over 25 million experienced business professionals.
