Cool web tools: part 3
[Part three in a series of entries on cool web tools]
I haven't contibuted to the "cool web tools" continuing series in a couple of weeks. It's not for a lack of material, though.... I have my own perosnal favorites and also enjoy reading others' top lists. For instance, Read/Write Web recently published their "Top 17 innovations outside of Google". And Information Week Magazine included in their May 7 issue an article on the greatest web software ever written. Fun stuff!
Here are the latest entries to my growing list:
- YourDraft.com : You don't even need to register for this service. Simply create your document in the WYSIWYG editor, enter your email address, and save the document. YourDraft will email two links to you; one is a link to a "read only" copy of your doc, and the other links to a "read / write" copy of the doc.
- PDF Filler : PDF Filler allows you to upload from a file or URL any PDF-based form so that you can fill it out online and then print it. Perfect for those of us with sloppy penmanship.
- WorldCat Identities : Here's OCLC's latest cool release... WorldCat Identities draws upon information in OCLC's WorldCat database (the same service Reeves uses to full interlibrary loans) to compile interesting profiles of authors. Here's a link to the page for Larry McMurtry. I'm particularly drawn to the Publication Timeline graph.
- NameVoyager : This is fun. Simply enter a name, and NameVoyager will create a graphical display of that name's popularity over time [see graphic at top of this entry].
That's all for now.
