More Web 2.0 tools

FotoFlexer is another in an ever expanding list of web 2.0 photo editing tools. This service has a nice interface and quite a detailed range of capabilities. It wouldn’t replace Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or Paint.NET but for quick photo editing it’s ideal.

Writewith is a new text editor available on the web. It offers many of the features that other editor also offers. In addition its claims that “you can upload documents, share with other people, chat, assign tasks, and track everybody’s actions with a comprehensive history”.

If you need to extract text from a pdf file, PDFTextOnline might be the tool for you. It is totally web based and converts PDF text quickly and accurately. It also handles all fonts and languages (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more)

Image management tools and resources

I came across this post on another blog and thought it might be interesting to people. Its called 90+ Online Photography Tools and Resources. It covers Online Photo Editors, Photo Sharing sites, Free Photo Hosting, Photography Blogs, Mashups, Photo Mixing and Slideshows, Photo Printing/Book Creation, Photo Search tools and Stock Photo sites.

This really gives something for anybody using images.

Presentations for free

Don’t have access to Powerpoint or want to make your presentation easily available on the web? What can you do?

Thanks to the ever increasing power of web 2.0 you now have access to free alternatives on the web. Why not try some of the following.

 Thinkfree is one of a new breed of Microsoft Office replacement services on the web and they include a presentation module

 Thumbstacks is a new service that concentrates solely on offering presentations on the web. 

  Zoho is another web based alternative to Microsoft Office.

In all cases your presentations can be viewed online. They all have somewhat differing capabilities, in some cases you can upload existing Powerpoint presentations and some allow you to download presentations to your computer.
