There are many Web 2.0 tools out there that can help you be more productive. Keeping track of them all can be difficult. This page will hopefully help you keep track of and share different tools and resources.

Photos

  • Flickr is one of the most popular photo sharing site on the web. It has tools to integrate with a number of blogging platforms, which makes adding photos to blog posts simple. You can also search for photos by tags or text, and export and import different RSS feeds.
  • Search Creative Commons allows you to search for images under the Creative Commons license. This often means you can use them non-commercially as long as you attribute the source.
  • Picnik is a free photo editing site that works with Flickr, Facebook, MySpace, and Picasa.
  • Jing is a free screen capturing program that makes taking screen shots super easy and looks great. You can also record short videos.
