Always said you would like to have a social news site like digg, but didn’t have the time to develop or work on it? Thanks to slinkset.com, you don’t have to. They promise to deliver you your own social news site that you can customize, user your own domain on and auto-post links via RSS for free. Here are a few examples:
One more cool feature is it looks like you can create a private site too, that would only be accessible to the people you invite. Give slinkset.com a shot, and if you create one yourself feel free to share it here with us.

With the many video search helpers out there, it is hard to find one that works and works well. That is where VideoFetcher comes into play. Using a search box, an iframe and a little imagination they have come up with a good way to search multiple video hosting sources for material.
Now they don’t win any points for being the best looking service, the design is a ‘bit ugly and bland. The concept though, of having just about every search provider for video on the left and your results on the right is one that works.
You can also add them to your search bar too in the browser to have easy access to the searching. VideoFetcher is worth a shot if your find yourself browsing around the video sites in your spare time.

Why do it in Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro when you can do it Online for free? Here are the best (and not so best) of the Online photo or graphic editing tools I could find these days in no specific order.
- Online Photo Tool - great interface, not confusing at all and tons of tools!
- Splashup - all the image editing bells and whistles, including layers!
- Picnik - more aimed at making it “fun”, plus they offer a paid for service too!
- Snipshot - the bookmarklet importing kind of won me over here!
- Pixenate - all the tools right there for you, no registration needed!
- VicImager - needs some polishing, controls are kind of ugly!
- LookWow - basic image manipulation, not too much editing!
- Phixr.com - probably my favorite interface of them all!
- FotoFlexer - tons of things to play with here!
Personally, I wish there were a few more like RoundPic that didn’t do everything fairly well, but instead did one thing really well. Know of anymore resources worthy of being on the list? Drop in a comment and leave your thoughts!

You should all know by now I am a glutton when it comes to the free file hosting services out there. I just can’t seem to get enough. The newest service to fill my file sharing gut would be Filemail.com. The actual file uploading and sharing part of the site is very slick looking. You have an e-mail/uploader interface that works well together. Here it is in all it’s glory…
This is the e-mail like interface, that lets you quickly drop in an address and then a message to your buddy your sending the file to.
This second section of the upload interface gives you an easy to understand interface when it comes to setting permissions, limits and uploading the files you wish to share. If you like the service I would suggest that you register - but for those who do not wish to you can send up to 2GB without doing so.
Filemail.com is it a hit or a miss?

Uploadingit.com not only gives you a service with a catchy name. It also provides you with 10 GB of free storage space to backup your photos and images for free.
You can upload all of your images and files, manage sort and organize them and then they also provide a few cool ways to share them with family, friends and the world around you. As mentioned before you get 10 GB of disk space for storage. You also get 1 GB of daily bandwidth and you can upload 50 MB per file. They provide support for these file formats:
jpg, jpeg, gif, png, bmp, tiff, psd, pdf, txt, rtf, doc, ppt, csv, xls, swf, xcf, xml, css, dcr, docx, xlsx, pptx, ico, ttf, tif, dxf, dwg, max, 3ds, pdd, psp, dng, ai, htm, html, rss, atom, eml, pages, dot, dotx, info, svg, cdr, zip
Sign up and give them a shot. Would love to hear about some real world use of this Online service.

No doubt that passwords are an important part of our lives these days. Without a good password you could lose almost anything you have created Online, not to mention your credit card, PayPal account or anything else that is guarded with a little more importance. If you need help creating that better password, the Password Meter is here to help.
You can test your password here to see if it will be any good or not. It grades on a number of different scales to tell you if your password is bad, why it is bad. The minimum requirements are that it contain three out of these four details: Uppercase Letters, Lowercase Letters, Numbers and Symbols. Mix it up so it is harder for anybody else to guess or for bots to figure out on their own. The Password Meter is something everybody should use, but sadly few give passwords this much consideration.
