zip-online: zip service online
Nowadays, there too much on line services. Here you will know another service. That is zip-online.
zip-online is a site that allows you compress your files into ZIP file, also it can send the compressed file to your email. Only one blemish, that is it only allow upload 5 files and every file must less than 650K.
But its strong suit is allow people use a link, a external link! That’s why I introduced it.
CodeFetch : code search engine
CodeFetch is a code search engine that allow you to search different code in the Internet, such as C, C#, C++, Java, PHP, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Unix /Shell and etc.
In this site, it tells to search the source code of programming books, that’s very useful and I think it will welcomed by publishers.
Here is the about the CodeFetch page. Also you can find which language is the most popular people searched in CodeFetch,here it is.
Scribblelive: new live-blogging mini blog
Scribblelive is a new live-blogging mini blog. It like wiki somewhere, or twitter or Tumblelog, but it is Scribblelive itself.
It’s funnier than I my mind’s eye.Everyone can login with his Facebook account, Windows Live account, or Open ID. Once you login, you have a account at once. After that, you can post by yourself. It’s event oriented, like your blog’s post.
Besides text, you can also publish Youtube videos, pics, that why I said it like Thumblelog. After these, why not have a try?
Blip: music mini blog
If you are familiar withe blog, it seems that you are not so strange to mini blog, like Twitter. But these mini blogs can just publish text, maybe some can share music and video.
What Blip do is to store your music in their server, all you need to do is type your favorite music in the search form. That sounds a nice journey, just try!
Bedesk: a Social Desktop
Bedesk is a web OS which is called social desktop by itself. It provides some Widget, also you can add other social networking services if you like. That means it can communicates with the information in other web sites such as Google, Digg, and Flickr.
You can register a account by first in, if you do so, you can own your private folder. You can add your favorite web sites, visit the web site in this web OS if you wish.
As a web OS(Operating System), the first thing is to make sure that it can communicate with other web sites, if it can, it has the potential to be a good platform. But Bedesk is like a web browse in web browse. I’m expecting to have a true web OS platform.
Microblogr: another mini blog
Microblogr is another mini blog. The biggest different from other mini blog is: you can not only issue text but also publish Youtube and Metacafe video, and pictures.
Besides, it added the Network feature, that means you can add a group or establish a group.
At present, Microblogr only support Youtube and Metacafe video. But this is a Alpha beta, which means it’s most feature can’t be very perfect. This is a webtool online demo,you are welcomed to leave a comment.
Vector Magic : make your images vectorizing
Vector Magic is the best web site make your images vectorizing! With little lose of quality, and you don’t run a big software like illustrator any more if you just want to vectorizing a pic.
It’s beta version can switch unlimited pics,but now you can just switch server pics.Every time you can earn 2 point by logining. If the points are out, you have to pay some money.
Habari:an other wordpress
Habari is a next generation blogging platform.
Habari is a blog platform, that is what I think. It’ from WordPress.
"Habari" is a Swahili word that means "what’s the news?" It’s similar to the English "What’s up?" or the Spanish "¿Qué pasa?" The typical response is "nzuri sana", which means "very good."
It’s developers are from wordpress. So,if you are interested in wordpress, why not take a try on Habari?
