Bookmark: Useful online tools

Friday, January 16th, 2009

It’s that time again for me to dump a few of my bookmarked sites for your viewing pleasure. These links are pretty old, and you might already be familiar with all, if not most, of these sites.

  • Girafa: Similar to Snap It, you can use their service to provide thumbnail views of sites that you link to. In other words, when your visitor mouses over a link, they’ll see a small pop-up of the web site that the link refers to. Girafa also has a toolbar you can install in your browser, which allows you to see a web site’s thumbnail before you decide if you want to visit it.
  • Fauxto: This is a online photo editing site that does a lot of the things that Photoshop can. JohnTP.com calls it the online Photoshop alternative. If you’re used to Photoshop, you’ll find that the interface is very intuitive of PS as well. Great if you have a stable and fast Internet connection. For now, I’m fine with my (licensed!) PS CS2.
  • Torrent Scan: Absolutely love this torrent search engine. I like the fact that I can do the same search to multiple torrent search engines with just a click.

Hm. Weird. That’s all the useful online tool links I have. The other links in my bookmark are actually references on how to make money online. I’ll share that one later.

Free Mac Safari screenshot service

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

BrowsrCamp.com’s screenshot of The Blog of Rugrats.I was looking for a way to test my web site on Mac’s Safari browser without the hassle of installing an emulator, and found this cool online tool at BrowsrCamp. It’s so easy to use, and I got a decent screenshot of The Blog of Rugrats at a resolution of 800×600.

This is pretty useful if you just want to check whether your CSS works well on Macs. There’s an option for you to subscribe to its full service, which checks for almost everything else, even Javascript, DHTML, Ajax and Flash among a few. $3 for a two-day subscription ain’t that bad if you’re desperate for a tool like this, as long as you have a fast connection.
