(1) FeedBeater - Dead simple site that can create a feed from any website URL around the web.

Far and away, the most popular website, when it comes to storing ‘in the cloud’ bookmarks, is Delicious. It became so popular so quickly, that Yahoo picked them up in December of 2005 for somewhere between $15 million and $30 million.

For those of you who don’t know what Delicious is, it is simply a one stop shop, for storing your bookmarks in one quick and easy location.

Of course with success comes competition, with sites such as Diigy or Simpy and you could possibly even consider Digg or Reddit as well.  However sometimes you find your own opinion matters the most, and you’d like to create your own private bookmarking service for your family, friends or maybe even your workplace.  That’s where with some prerequisites from your web host, and a little MYSQL knowledge, you can create your own social bookmarking site, with Scuttle.

Scuttle is simply defined as a “Web-based social bookmarking system.  It allows multiple users to store, share and tag their favorite links online.” It is an open source product that requires only PHP and a MYSQL database from your web host.  After installation, you’ll have a very similar look to what Delicious offers.

Similar to Delicious, the Scuttle system offers tagging with keyword relations, a tag cloud and advanced searching for your own bookmarks, or the entire site.

Just like Delicious, you also have advanced security for protection on your bookmarks.

Someone once told me that ‘free’ doesn’t exist. Today it almost looks as if the whole world is trying to prove him wrong.

Just look at MakeUseOf, the site you’re hopefully browsing at the moment. Where in the world can you buy a magazine with (currently) 1,754 articles for free?

I suspect many MakeUseOf readers have made their New Year’s resolutions to be “more productive” and to “do more in less time”. I, on the other hand, have made the exact opposite resolution. 2009 will be chaperoned by a “do as little as I can” mindset.

I recently counted all my email accounts, and I have close to 50. Of course I don’t use them all, but I certainly have more than one active account. The fact is, most people do, and it can be frustrating to manage all those emails and logins - not to mention social networks, a form of communication that is growing rapidly.

As internet users gain more and more ways to communicate, they are looking for ways to centralize and bring things together.

(1) Capzles - Create a timeline from captured moments of your life such as photos, videos and various other features like music and background.

GSplit is a free application that lets you split BIG files into smaller pieces, giving you the ability to share them, copy or backup to floppies, CD, DVD, USB, upload to hosts with file size limit restrictions, networks, send them by email etc.

Sharing files with your friends & family was never this easy, especially since another handy feature is that you can also split several large files at once.

Everyone loves a good party, but organising one can be quite problematic. Atomeet is a tool that tries to simplify the party planning process, allowing you to organize party online and keep on top of who is coming, and confirm that people know where to go.

Before we look further into this tool, this article does take into consideration that Facebook does in fact have a built in Events manager.
