Five on Friday - five fabulous Web 2.0 tools and sites of the week (16-01-09)
January 16th, 2009 by Andy Merchant
Back once again with another five web 2.0 tools on Friday.
1.This first tool is good for doing a bit of snooping. It’s called snitch.name and it finds peoples’ profiles on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr plus many more.
2.Video alerts is up next. What I like about Video-Alerts is that everything is automated - you get an email notification when new videos are uploaded to YouTube from your specified keywords.
3.The simplicity of Pingvine is beautiful. Pingvine is a free service that takes an Atom or RSS feed from your blog, lifestream or favorite website and posts it to Twitter.
- 1. Select your service
- 2. Bang in your username and password
- 3. Paste in your feed URL
- 4. Select frequency and submit!
4. If you use RSS feeds a lot then this next web 2.0 site is for you. Basically xFruits will allow you to do anything you want with RSS feeds. Go check it out as it’s definitely worth a bookmark.
5. Want to turn several links into one link? I have just the thing - 1Linkin. Insert your links, one on each line, press the big blue button and hey presto you are given one final link in return.
