CloudApp allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files. Here is how it works: choose a file, drag it to the menubar and CloudApp takes care of the rest. It provides you with a short link automatically copied to your clipboard that you can use to share your upload with co-workers and friends. Very simple. Very cool.

This tool validates your RSS or Atom feed. It makes sure that yoru subscribers are always able to get your feeds. I use this whenever I make changes to my blog to make sure I haven’t messed something up.

This was created by the same people that developed Wesbite Grader. It provides you with a grade based on your number of followers, updates, and engagement. It also shows who are the highest ranking Twitter users in specific regions and cities.

Website Grader is a free SEO tool that measures the marketing effectiveness of your web site or blog. It provides an overall score that includes things like web site traffic, SEO, social popularity, and technical issues you need to fix.

If you occasionally post email addresses on your web site or blog, this simple web app is essential. It takes a regular email address and encodes it through the use of “character entities” (you don’t need to understand this), so that spam robots can’t harvest the address.

Ever wonder if a web site is down for everyone or just for you? This handy little web app tests the site from multiple locations and then reports back. It is fast and accurate.

This is the tool I use to verify and compare other people’s web site and blog traffic. It isn’t perfect, but I have found it reasonably accurate.

This web site will take screen shots of your web site or blog, using numerous different browsers. It enables you to see what other people will experience when they visit your site.

This is the service I use to get the photographs that I use in my blog posts and slide presentations. They have a great selection. Most photos cost $1.50 each.
