Link Review: Handy sites for web professionals

March 31, 2009 FILED TO: Cool sites, Software, Web Design

After a year of studying full-time, I’m finally starting to catch up on what new cool tools and sites there are out there for web designers and developers. Here are a few I’ve come across lately, as well as some interesting articles.

Tools and Services

Mail Chimp: For beautiful, easy email campaigns. Alternative to Campaign Monitor.
File Juicer: As mentioned in a previous post – extracts images and text from almost any file
Flock: Web browsing, social networking, RSS feeds, email, searching – all in one Application
Blogo: Great little Mac App for posting to Wordpress – I’m using it now
Veer Marketplace: Move over iStockphoto – Veer is doing stock photography
Billings 3: I assessed Billings 2 a couple of years ago, for managing timesheets and invoices, and found it wanting. Billings 3, however, impressed me and I’ve been using it without much complaint for the last couple of months (it’s on sale right now, as well).
Survey Monkey: simple online surveys
Browser Shots: Free Cross Platform Browser Testing
Jumpcut: Provides “clipboard buffering” - access to text that you’ve cut or copied, even if you’ve subsequently cut or copied something else.
