This is my innaugural post at WordPress. I created this blog so people can keep up with a few slivers of technology. This blog will more likely be a repository of information gathered from other sources.

——————- Web 2.0 Apps ——————-

  •  Thinkature - brings rich communication to the web by combining an instant messaging system with shared, visual workspace. Use it as a collaboration environment, a meeting room, a personal web-based whiteboard, or something entirely new.
  • FormLogic – Build free forms with this online tool.
    Contact us forms, Feedback forms, Event registration forms, Surveys, Polls, Order forms, and any type of business form
  • HyperScope – is a high-performance thought processor that enables you to navigate, view, and link to documents in sophisticated ways. The HyperScope is written in JavaScript using the Dojo toolkit and works in Firefox (recommended) and Internet Explorer. It uses OPML as its base file format. It is open source and available under the GPL.

——————- Social Bookmarking ——————-

Here is a nice list of Social Bookmarking sites [wiki]:

  • del.icio.us – this is probably the most popular social bookmarking site.
  • Wink – a new site but has nice search capability.
  • Furl – a wide range of exporting options.
  • StumbleUpon – more or less a random web jumper.
  • BlinkList – mostly for MySpace users.
  • Ma.gnolia – del.icio.us on steroids.

——————- Web Development & Design ——————-

CSSEdit - is now at version 2. It’s selling for $29.95
The developer is macrabbit and provides a way to design beautiful, innovative and fast-loading web sites with a beautiful, innovative and fast application.
CssEdit’s intuitive approach to style sheets and powerful editing features will make you deliver awesome standards-based sites in no time! You can also use X-ray to reveal page structure.

Apollo – is a large scale project from Adobe. They are developing this platform so web applications can run outside the web browser. Web apps will launch the same way traditional apps launch. The technology will be available in Flash Player and the Adobe Reader. Just imagine an application equivalent of the pdf file format.
