Five on Friday - five fabulous web 2.0 tools of the week (19-09-08)
September 19th, 2008 by Andy Merchant
Here is my usual Friday web 2.0 tools/technology good stuff round up of the week.
1, I have been doing a little research for my forthcoming iPhone and have come across this little application called If Found. You set up your iPhone with this application and if you loose it the finder can click on the If Found icon on the menu, this brings up your contact details so the finder can get in touch with owner. The incentive is the owner sets up a finders fee payable to the finder on return of the hand set. - neat!
2, Still on the iPhone theme is apttism. The aim of the site is to aggregate the latest iPhone app news, reviews, ratings, media and more to help you find the best apps and games.
3, Last week on the web 2.0 tools list was a site called Yammer, following on from this a similar business Twitter style offering called Present.ly . It allows you to give your employees the ability to instantly communicate their current status, ask questions, post media, share images, documents, video, and audioclips with your colleagues.
4, With all the news around the financial markets, Streetread tracks various financial news services, stocks and companies from the latest headlines from over 20 of the leading finance sites.
5, This next one is not so much of a web 2.0 tool but a trip down memory lane. It’s the retro equivalent to Gizmodo and Endgadget and is called Retro Thing.
More of the same web 2.0 tools/technology good stuff next week.
