Weekend Tools/Resources Wrapup
July 16th, 2004I’ve been collecting a bunch of tools/resources over the past few days that I haven’t posted nor have had much time to play with. Nevertheless, here they are:
1) WB Editor - “WB Editor is the weblog or blog editing and posting tool that provides word style interface, RSS aggregator integration, offline local blog storage and etc. for bloggers. Unlike other existing blog tool, the WB Editor has WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing capabilities and full internalization support.” (via Darlene Fichter Furl Archive)
2) Pivot - “Pivot is a web-based tool to help you maintain dynamic sites, like weblogs or online journals. Pivot is released under the GPL so it is completely free to use. It is written in PHP, and does not require additional libraries or databases to function.”
3) Library Techtonics - A new weblog by my dear friend and colleague Andrea Mercado. (RSS Feed) - Also posted on LISBlogsource.
4) Waypath Topic Streams - “For the past few months, we’ve been experimenting in the Waypath Labs with ways to automatically build feeds on specific topics, gathering posts from the nearly three million weblogs we monitor. The result is our new Topic Streams tool. Though not quite ready for prime time, we’re releasing a “preview” of Topic Streams at Waypath. We’ll be working to make it better over the coming weeks, with the goal of reaching “official” beta status.”
5) Gibeo - “The Gibeo Network is a new online service built by Gibeo. It’s a rapidly growing community, a web annotation service, a open content-enhancing platform, an amazingly simple and useful tool for browsing and sharing the web. The Internet is still a fundamentally changing environment and this is the latest evolution in powerful online services. Simply browse the web by adding .gibeo.net to the end of any site, and it will be transparently enhanced by adding any community annotations and highlights to the page as well as enable the menu of personal tools available.” (via The RSS Weblog)
