Five on Friday - five fabulous web 2.0 tools of the week
September 5th, 2008 by Andy Merchant
Here is my weekly round-up of some of the web 2.0 tools I have checked out this week.
1, Hurricanes and storms have featured on the news heavily this month, so my first offering is called Stormpulse - storm and hurriane tracking. If you are going on holiday in hurricane/storm season check out this site to see if you’re going to have a storm-free holiday.
2, Next up is a search site called Hittery. Hittery is a custom search site/dashboard that you can add custom search engines too. All the search boxes are moveable so you can have your favourite custom searches near the top.
3, Zimplit is a very simple, easy-to-use content management system/web design tool. Zimplit is open source and free forever, and you can check out the demo. This site is great if you want a website but have no idea of putting one together and want a hassle-free experience in the process.
4, Twitter Counter is a nice Twitter statistics tool that shows how popular you are in Twitter, and it also works out the amount of estimated followers you will have next month.
5, This one is not so much of a web 2.0 tool, but more of a list. 100 Useful Niche Search Engines You’ve Never Heard Of. There are many sub-sections including social media, travel and business.
More of the same next week!
