A catalog of web applications





Simple Spark: A Catalog Of Web Applications

New York based Simple Spark aims to make finding web applications easy through an extensive catalog of online application sites.

Over 3000 web applications are tracked and categorized with screenshots, icons, feeds, reviews and concise summaries. Applications are indexed in over 70 categories including Spreadsheets, Workspace & Wikis, Education, Fashion, Green Living and Family & Kids

The Simple Spark search facility is also language friendly, a search for delicious or Flicker delivers the correct results of del.icio.us and Flickr; we’ve all misspelled Web 2.0 application names before.

Each competitive space can be tracked by RSS feeds based on individual categories, searches or the newest additions to the catalog.

Keeping up with the numerous competitors in each space can be difficult for even people working in the industry, let alone an outside observer. I find myself impressed with Simple Spark, as the name suggests it’s a simple idea that I can definitely see myself using in the future when researching a product category.

Online photo editing

Most bloggers, and lots of others, spend a lot of time manipulating
images for posts, sharing, etc. Personally, I use Photoshop, which is
way more horsepower than I need since I generally just grab, mashup and
resize images. But it still works far better, and far faster, than any
of the online image editing tools we’ve reviewed.

Today I tested a new desktop application, called Skitch,
that works far better than Photoshop for basic grabbing and editing of
images. And it also has an associated online account for storage and
sharing with others. For now, it only works with Mac (and is still in
private beta), but a Windows version is in development. All of the
images included in this post were grabbed and edited using Skitch, and
it saved me a ton of time v. Photoshop.





The
desktop application is a small, resizable window. Drag an image into it
from the desktop, another application (like iPhoto) or from a web page
and it presents it for editing. Alternatively, Skitch include an
excellent screen grabbing tool that also automatically pulls it into
the window for editing, or it will access the built in camera and snap
an image. Most file formats are accepted (jpg, gif, tiff, png, etc.).


The editing tools include adding lines, free drawing, arrows, and
text. Images can also be cropped and resized by dragging and dropping.
Once complete, the image can be named and saved as a jpg, png, pdf, svg
or proprietary format (no gif or tiff for now), uploaded to your Skitch
page or dragged to the desktop or other application. Skitch also keeps
a history of all files edited.


Images that are uploaded to your personal Skitch page (called
“MySkitch”) can be commented by other users, and there are a number of
options to embedded that image in other websites. See the screen shot
above and to the right for an example. MySkitch also allows hotlinking
of images, subject only to restrictions on “excess use.”

Free Image Hosting (uncensored)

Well known and often controversial BitTorrent tracking site The Pirate Bay has launched BayImg, an uncensored free image hosting service.

The Pirate Bay has previously been private beta testing a video hosting site
which is yet to launch. BayImg is available now and offers hosting up
to 100mb with a promise that as long as the image is legal, they won’t
censor it, although interestingly “legal” isn’t explained. There is
also false attribution of “I disapprove of what you say, but I will
defend to the death your right to say it” to Voltaire (the phrase was
invented by a later author
as an epitome of Voltaire’s attitude to free speech) and yet despite
the question marks over legalities the chances of anything being
censored by the team from The Pirate Bay would be close to zero anyway.


No registration is required for users wishing to upload files, and BayImg is said to support 140 different file formats.


BayImg competes directly with CNet’s AllYouCanUpload but with one distinct advantage: DMCA requests to BayImg will have no standing.
