Five on Friday - five fabulous Web 2.0 tools and sites of the week (28-11-08)
November 28th, 2008 by Andy Merchant
This week has been a bit mental, but as always I fail to disappoint with my favourite 5 web 2.0 tools and sites of the week.
1. First off we have Popacular. A very simple looking site that give you a list of the most popular websites mentioned on Twitter. You can also do the same for Delicious bookmarks.
2. This next one is something I have not actually tried! But the description got me buzzing. It’s a new web browser called Lunascape. It claims to be the fastest start up browser, here are some of the features:
- Crash protection functionality
- Mouse gestures
- Tab browsing
- Abundant plug-ins
- Smart favourites
3. Splitweet allow you to use multiple Twitter accounts at the same time, it also give you real time mentions of any keywords/brands you wish to monitor. - Could this be a Tweetdeck killer?
4. Microbloging is all the rage at the moment, if your a fan then this next web 2.0 tool might be right up you street. It is called ShoutEm. ShoutEm is simply a very customisable way or creating your own microblogging community, some of the features include links and photo sharing, geo location sharing and mobile browser support. There is also a paid for service which gives you a few more options such as private domains instead of *.shoutem.com domain. View the ShoutEm deom video.
5. Finally today is a review site called Trustpilot. Trustpilot collects the information about the company that you would have taken hours to find, and informs you automatically about positive or negative conditions you should know about.
