great resource! Thanks.
I will be using these tools after I hand in my dissertation.
People like me need a helping hand!
Great list! Although it would be nice to add prezi.com, the zooming presentation editor, in the multimedia section.
Hah, everyone loves a freebie, and it looks like you’ve amassed quite a collection here! Have you thought about adding `The GIMP’ - http://www.gimp.org/ ? It’s free (as in both speech and beer) and can do many of the same things that photoshop can do.
Great resource! Having a quick flick through your lists and there are some tools in there I have used and would recommend and also a few that I hadn’t heard of that I will now no doubt spend a bit of time playing with! One that particularly grabbed my attention was Gizmo5 under the Phone Services section. I’ve used Skype for a while, but recently the quality hasn’t been great. I also recommend using Google Talk for PC to PC talking - works well.
Great list. Alerting my students. Thanks!
Thank you very much. As a Canadian Travel Writer and Photographer, I am always looking for more, better and interesting ways of getting out there without going broke.
