Quick List - April 3, 2009

I missed last week’s Quick List because I was out of the office last Friday thanks to the MHSAA 2009 Basketball Finals. I had a great time and saw some great basketball including, future Spartan, Keith Appling of Detroit Pershing scoring a record 49 points in the Class A championship game. Here is this week’s quick list.

• Want to know more about Twitter. Check out this wiki. I used it to find out what this #hashtag stuff was all about.
• My favorite DBA found this awesome application called Etherpad. It allows real-time collaborative text editing.
• Tiny URL is a web service that shrinks those ridiculously long URL links into short easy to cut and paste links that will not break when emailed. You can also create toolbar button for quick creation of tiny urls from your current web page in one click.
• For those of you that use Digg, check out the new DiggBar

  · Slices
  · Compatibility View
  · Accelerators
  · Improved Security
  · Color coded tab groups
