Gimme Bar

Gimme Bar is a new (beta) bookmarking service that is giving Pinterest a run for its money. GB allows you to save pictures, text, screenshots, and most videos. Your items are then organized by hashtags and placed into buckets. As a bonus, everything you save is automatically backed up into your dropbox. They have a quick 2 minute video explaining all of Gimme Bar's features (which is also hilarious btw). You can watch it below.

Control Google

click picture to make it bigger, it's funny

Take control of what people see when they decide to be a creeper and google your name. This can be a huge plus when employers decide to look you up. Six Pixels of Separation tells you how:

According to The Official Google Blog yesterday on the post, Search for "me" on Google, you can fill out your own personal profile and have it actually rank on the first page of search results for your own, personal, name.

You get quite a bit of functionality when filling out your profile, including the ability to add as many professional links, your photo, it seems to be pulling a mini-photo stream from Flickr as well, and you can even connect to those that may be interesting to you. No, it's not quite as robust as LinkedIn. The point is not for this to be J.A.O.S.N. (Just Another Online Social Network). The point is to make people more searchable and findable in the Google engine.

Screentoaster

You know those instructional videos where someone is showing you how to do something directly on their computer screen? Screentoaster has free software available that lets you create these videos and upload them onto youtube or download them as a .AVI file. I don't have a use for it yet, but I'm sure I'll find one soon. If this didn't explain clearly enough what a screen toaster really does, go ahead and check out the site. Maybe you'll find a use for it. Thanks to swissmiss.typepad.com.
