Martin has already showed you a few screencast services like Jing and Screencast-O-matic, but here’s another I found worth sharing, since it’s siper simple and easy to use. Freescreencast.com allows you to quickly create and push button upload screencasts to the web. Once uploaded, you can either view it on site immediately, or you can [...]
Find answers using your pictures
I just stumbled on to a very cool idea, a sort of picture research online community. The basics of PicAnswers is that you upload a photo, and ask a question related to it. If you visit the site you’ll instantly know what I mean. What might seem like a fun place at first, actually has [...]
Remember the Milk on your iPhone
My favorite task manager, Remember The Milk is now easily available on your iPhone, or iPod touch. You need the pro version to get the optimized RTM ($25 per year), but you can access the normal version for free. I think the $25 for RTM is worth it, not really because of the extras you [...]
Sync Facebook and Outlook
If you have been a heavy contact book user you know the dread of mass entering people. You need to copy paste their numbers, email addresses, and worst of all, pictures! Personally I love to have pics of everyone, it makes my contacts look nice and shiny, just the way I like it. If you’re [...]
Turn Greasemonkeys into Firefox extensions
I’ve always loved Greasemonkey scripts and in fact, they are easy to install and manage, but now you can also compile one into a single Firefox addon (xpi file) without any programming knowledge. Off the top of my head I can think of about 50 reasons this is great. I like it a lot, because [...]
Pimp out your Google with the iGoogle Bar
I just found a great Firefox extension while browsing Lifehacker, a small addon that will add a bar in place of the default, quite unuseful bar, and let you access features in other Google services right there. iGoogleBar ads the favicons of many Google services like Gmail, Google Calendar, Reader, even Documents, Notebook and Web [...]
Visible Body – Visualise your body
While this is a sort of biology tech online app, I think it’s one of the most awesome things ever! I wasn’t really fond of biology, but that was really due to the taxonomy part of it, the human body is a great thing to learn about. Visible Body is a free, fully 3D system, [...]
Galaxy It – A new way to search?
Browsing some web 2.0 blogs, I came across a site that boasts a new kind of web search. I quite like the idea since online search is one of the least researched topics from a user experience point of view I think. Yes, Google is doing a lot and refining and tweaking and tuning, but [...]
Put your Outlook calendar on the desktop
While taking my daily look at Stuff for Getting Things done, I stumbled upon an article about putting the Outlook calendar on your desktop. In fact, as I looked deeper into the program I discovered that you can also put your emails and tasks on there as well. I’ve had some experience with desktop calendars, [...]
