WetPaint Launch

WetPaint was officially launched today, bringing a new option to the array of wiki tools available.

Wetpaint works by getting the technology out of the way. Creating a site, contributing content and connecting is fast and familiar — you don’t have to learn anything you don’t already know how to do.When you create a Wetpaint site, you are given the option to enable: anyone to edit (even anonymously), anyone with Wetpaint accounts, or only those you invite.

All it takes are three easy steps and you’re off and running. Get started right now and create something great!

Go to the WetPaint site to get started now. You can start your wiki and start posting in a matter of minutes. Look at my WetPaint Chemistry site here.

Flock is a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web. Take our tour to learn what’s different about Flock, then download the beta to get started – and please tell us what you think.

Flickr and PhotoBucket users can easily upload photos by simple Drag and Drop.On any web or blog page, mousing over any public picture that’s hosted on Flickr or Photobucket will show you the entire photostream in the photo topbar. And once you’re there, you can scroll through thumbnails (including nice big ones) faster then ever before.

With Flock you can preview any RSS feed, then easily add it to your RSS aggregator (we call it My News). You can then view new stories by feed, by category, or aggregated across all categories (our front page shows you today’s headlines). This, I think, in one of the most useful feature of flock and eliminates the need for a separate RSS feed reader.

You are also able to create and publish your blogs from within Flock. Most new versions of browsers also have many of these features. Download it here and give it a try and it may become your favourite browser.
