Wednesday Web roundup: Tools!

Wednesday October 1, 2008
There are so many great tools out there on the Web that anyone can take advantage of to help their business run more smoothly. A few that have come across my radar lately: Backpack, an organizational tool, Campfire, a real-time chat utility for businesses and groups, Dimewise, a financial planning tool, and Google Calendar, an online calendar that gives users a lot of powerful options when scheduling events.

There's also:

  • Graph Paper: free printable graph paper
  • User Name Check: Find out where your username is registered at a large variety of social websites
  • Print What You Like: Get rid of all the extra fluff (like ads) on a Web page and only print what you want.
  • Zotero: A Firefox extension that helps you collect and manage your research sources.
  • Smush It: a superb image optimization tool.
What's your favorite Web tool that you've come across lately?
