Web Tools 2012
posted January 3, 2012 # 0 Comments
Over the break I encountered a lot of new tools that may be handy.. or may be total flubs; it's tough to tell without using them for some time.
Unroll.me, supposedly, dives into your inbox and creates a comprehensive list of email newsletters you are receiving and, then, gives you the ability to manage those descriptions. I tend to delete, not archive, any mail message from a mailing list so I'm not sure how complete this will be but I do like the idea of a way to see everything I happened to be subscribed to paired with an easy way to kill it off.
While RSS readers are not anything new it does appear that Subpug is doing it in a rather classy way. The reader looks very well designed and they've got "subscription packs" of feeds from various sites to get you started. Tags and related tweets display right in line with the content - pretty snazzy!
Dropbox Automator lets you run a number of pre-determined automated tasks when you add a file to your Dropbox account. Want any image automatically added to Facebook or Flickr? Done. Want to convert any doc to PDF? Ok. Want to zip the file and tweet about it? Can do. Personally, I don't see myself needing this at the moment but I like knowing it's around.
