"THE WEB USER'S ESSENTIAL LINKS AND FREE
DOWNLOADS" LIST 06/07/2004 02:25 PM

My Salon Blog colleague Ted Ritzer keeps a list of Useful Web Sites (for all web users, not just bloggers) originally compiled by Kevin Kelly, of Wired, The Well, and Whole Earth Catalog fame. Kevin no longer maintains his list, and instead has an intriguing Cool Tools site, but it's only for the rich -- virtually everything on the site costs money, often a lot of it. So Ted and I agreed it's time to update the Useful Web Sites list, and we need your help. What links and free downloads should every self-respecting Internet user have on their desktop? The list should not include pay sites, nor should it include news sites, blogs or other sites that appear on blogrolls (too many, and too subjective). Nor should it include highly specialized sites (I have a personal list of favourite genealogy sites, but I realize that few people would consider these 'essential'). To make the list manageable, I've identified 21 categories for the essential links (let me know if you think I've missed an entire category). If I get enough response, I'll publish a list of the Top 3 in each category and keep it on my sidebar or Spurl it (Spurl lets you keep your web bookmarks online and share them with others). The examples shown for each category are my personal favourites and some of them are eccentric, so they may not make the Top 3 list. Quite a few of them come from the excellent Jason Lefkowitz' Quality Software list (thanks to Internet Time for the link): Search engines -- e.g. Google Converters, voice recognition tools and translators -- e.g. Reverso Language Translation Internet browsing tools and aids -- e.g. Firefox browser, Xne ws newsreader Website composing and management tools -- e.g. HTML-Kit web page editor Publishing tools - e.g. PDFCreator Word processing and office productivity -- e.g. OpenOffice File and desktop management -- e.g. FilZip compression software, Furl digital filing cabinet Writing aids -- e.g. The 39 Steps, Rhymezone Reference tools -- e.g. IMDB movie & TV show database Music and book sellers -- e.g. FYE, CDBaby, McNally Robinson Consumer information -- e.g. CNet product reviews File sharing tools Internet streaming radio/video -- e.g. ShoutCast Connectivity and discussion tools -- e.g. Thunderbird e-mail, SightSpeed videoconferencing, Trillian IM and chat integrator, Skype VoIP Multimedia tools -- e.g. PhotoPl us image editor, IrfanView image viewer Website/RSS feed aggregation tools -- e.g. BlogLines site aggregator, Spurl online bookmarking Network/community builders and expertise finders Software download sites -- e.g. Download.com, Tucows Investment tools and information -- e.g. MLS real estate finder Electronic Payment and LETS tools Anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware/adware utilities -- e.g. SpyBot anti-spyware What are your essential links and invaluable free downloads?

Unix Review takes a look at the book:Essential Blogging: Selecting and Using Weblog Tools."The book covers Blogger, Radio Userland, Moveable Type, and Blosxom. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover the gamut of free software blogging platforms that are available like phpWebLog, PostNuke, Slashcode, or Scoop. It's not surprising that Slashcode didn't receive much coverage, considering that O'Reilly already has another title devoted to the topic, but it's really a huge omission to fail to cover the

2003 Service Pack 1 04/20/2004 11:26 PM
In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

“For ergonomic reasons, you’re much better off using an external mouse (or other pointing device) and keyboard when you’re working on a notebook. Why? Check out my column on notebook ergonomics.The problem is, you can’t easily use notebook peripherals when you’re on a plane, train, or other public conveyance. But you can learn some keyboard shortcuts. Using shortcuts is a far more efficient way to work than clicking a mouse and dragging a pointer, and it’s much easier on your hands.”Read more…

I can't believe I'm joining this discussion, but everywhere I read about Google's AutoLink, I never see the essential detail that Google did right: links are only added after the user pressed the AutoLink button. It's not a toggle button, you have to press the button every time you visit a new page for the links to show up. ?
