Five on Friday - five fabulous web tools of the week (12.06.09)
June 12th, 2009
It’s that time of the week again! - Here are my favourite web 2.0 tools of the week.
1.Google squared lets you square a search term, what i mean by square is present information on the search term in a grid. The searches work better if you are looking to get multiple answers. Check out the example for Roller Coaster.
2. Feed Stats brings you visualisations of a user’s FriendFeed activity. Just enter any FriendFeed user’s nickname and see their posting behavior.
3. TiltShift Generator is a very cool online app for editing images, it has some very nice effects including the ability to blur out the image - Recommended.
4. Obsurvey allows you to create surveys using the obsurvey tool. When you have created your survey, you are given a link to a webpage (a URL). You can send this link in an email to the targets that you want to answer your survey. View an example
5. Tiny chat allows you to create your own chat room and invite people through one simple link. You can also embed your chat room on your blog and in myspace. Tiny Chat can also be used to host video conferences with your participants.

Five on Friday - five fabulous web 2.0 tools of the week (03-10-08)
October 3rd, 2008
My top web 2.0 tools and applications of the week:
1. This web 2.0 tool is set to be massive as all you need is a web cam and a Twitter account - it’s called Moba Talk. You create a video via web cam ad the link then gets forwarded on via your Twitter account - the quality of the video is amazingly high.
2. PopGist is a very nice discussion tool. Enter your discussion keywords and then a list of related discussion posts will appear, very much in the style of the new Google blog search.
3. Iterend is a blog search engine currently in beta. It claims to actively discover the most recent, most discussed and most important articles of the blogosphere.
4. The next web 2.0 tool is all about Flickr. It’s called Flickr fight. Input two key words: e.g. Napster, iTunes and then see which is most popular.
5. Last but not least is a URL shortening service with a twist. The site is called Cligs - short URLs with analytics. The short URL you create above will be public and everyone will be able to see the traffic statistics it gets.
