URLXL shortens your URLs using slugs instead of numbers, so they are easier to remember. After you have submitted your information in, you are given a web page much like this one:
http://www.urlxl.net/review/web-hosting/
You then have the options to share on Twitter or Pownce. This new service is also powered by the Google App Engine, which means you can use your Google login info to gain access to it. It should be really interesting to watch urlxl.net to see where it goes in development in the future.

It is official, I spend too much time checking Plurk. This is why you should too!
The Rewards of Being a Good Plurker
The "rewards" feature of Plurk is very interesting too. You can get a little star by your name if you achieve a certain goal. Also, certain customizations (such as page styles) are not available to you until your Karma number has reached a certain point.
Go Out and Do Something Creative!
A great inspiration as well is the status messages you can pick from. You have:
freestyle, loves, likes, shares, gives, hates, wants, wishes, has, will, asks, was, feels, thinks, says, and is
Speaking of inspiration, seeking that great conversation starter?
- Messages of "good morning" seem to go over well with your following…
- Random messages really do the trick, create snippets from your brain do wonders too.
- You can’t forget the plugs for your own site content or interesting links you have found on the Web.
- Plurk is much more social than the other status and micro-blogs out there. Many more replies here and much more feedback to be had if you just ask.
Share Your Photos and Videos with Everybody!
You can share photos too, just make sure that link your posting ends with a .gif, .jpg or .png. Plurk will automatically generate thumbnailed images for you and open them up inside of Plurk when somebody clicks on them. The same is done for YouTube videos too.
What Makes Plurk So Different?
The timeline is what sets Plurk apart from the competitors. This gives you a unique view of all the messages from your friend that may seem a little odd at first, but you quickly catch on. You also have the option to view all the new message, or mark all messages as read.
Maybe it is just me, but Plurkers seem to be a lot more friendly too. They are all looking for replies of their own, so they might be more willing to stop by your personal Plurk page and say, "Hello!". Looking for a friend? Feel free to click here and add me!
When push comes to shove, Plurk really is becoming a favorite stop for me (or several stops depending on the speed of the day) and I wish them the best of luck in the future.

Have a big block of text you need to send to a friend? What about a list of URLs or another miscellaneous reason to copy and paste something over from any sort of document to a friend? TinyPaste is here to help.
To use, all you need to do is copy any text you have into the pastebin and then hit the submit button. In return, you’ll be given a URL to get easy access to that text. Think of it as TinyURL for just about anything text-based. As if that wasn’t enough to love - they also have a Firefox extension too.

I have been sharing a lot of my posts and articles on MySpace lately to get a few more interested readers coming in, and after a long search I ran into one problem. Yes, MySpace has the "Post to MySpace" feature now that makes sharing URLs from other non-MySpace sites easier. The problem is nobody has written a bookmarklet for it yet.
Well, that was the case till I figured I would give it a shot. Drag and drop think link on to your bookmarks toolbar:
Add to MySpace!
To cover all my bases, here is what you do - depending on the browser you use:
Firefox - Drag and drop the above link to your bookmarks toolbar or right-click the link and select "bookmark this link".
Internet Explorer - Right click on the link above, and select "add to favorites".
Safari - Drag and drop the link to your bookmarks toolbar.
I hope this helps out anybody else looking to quickly share interesting articles and sites with your friends and stalkers on MySpace. If anybody wishes to be my bud - you can find my MySpace profile and add me there!

We might not all work best in groups, but there is no doubt that a group can sometimes come up with more unique ideas and it does help to have somebody or something to bounce your ideas and work off of. Here are some unique tools for working together with others.
WebCanvas - This is a tool that will give you an infinite canvas to paint, draw or sketch out your ideas to others.
ReviewBasics - The catch phrase is "content review made easy". You upload your work, invite people to review and you can watch you feedback come rolling in.
(xy)write it! - With this you can create, share and export documents for free. It provides a simple way to share and collaborate on a document no matter your location on the globe.
Hopefully with these three you will at least have a new way to work on that project you have in mind or get your next big whatever your working on done. The Web makes it easy to use the power of many to get a single task done…
so why not take advantage of it?

I have another free hosting tool that you might want to give for a spin. UploadPedia is the most recent to catch my attention. You can upload up to 100 files at once, with the max being 100 MB. One interesting thing that they do is list all the top downloads and recent downloads that have been added to their service. If you are looking for privacy, this might not be the uploader for you. They do have a way to password protect your uploads though, so you don’t have to share if you do not want to. You can also search the files that have been uploaded too. From their terms of service, it looks like they accept any type of file, as long as it is not pornographic or copyrighted (or I guess both).
