The service is like StumbleUpon but only focused on photos. StumblePics makes use of photos found on Flickr and can be viewed in high quality.

The photos that appear on Stumblepics are not entirely random like in StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon displays websites and images based on the categories that you provided. In StumblePics, you need to provide the keyword every time you want to use the service. This way, you’ll get to change keywords if you want to view a different set of photos.

From time to time you’ll get a message saying that StumblePics has encountered some trouble displaying the image and it’s probably Flickr’s fault. When this happens you can simply reload the page to get your chance to view the photo.

This is a great alternative in viewing Flickr photos based on tags that interests you. The great thing about this service is the fact that you’ll get the high quality image right away. You won’t have to browse pages of Flickr just to get to the high quality images that you are looking for.

The simple widget runs on Adobe Air so there’s no problem whatsoever whether you’re using Windows, OS-X or Linux.

How It Works:

You can create widgets that define how the images will be resized. The best part is that you can create multiple widgets – one for each of your resizing needs.

For example, you can create a widget for sending photos in mail with a maximum size of 800 pixels. Or, you could create a widget for resizing photos to upload into a web gallery at 50% of their original size.

To use the widget, simply drag and drop photos from a folder into JustResizeIt. Wait a few seconds for the app to process the images and drag and drop the images again into an e-mail, office document or a folder. It’s so easy to use and hassle free that even a novice computer user who knows how to drag and drop will encounter no trouble at all.

Another great thing about JustResizeIt is that you can copy and redistribute unlimited copies of the software provided that you comply with their License and Agreement. As long as you don’t charge for the copy of the software, you should have no problem redistributing it.

You can also use JustResizeIt to promote your brand by redistributing the software along with your company logo. You can customize JustResizeIt to your company’s corporate identity standards and redistribute it. Simply contact the guys form JustResizeIt and get your custom widget. It is not entirely clear if they’ll charge you for the design – which is pretty fair if they do.

There are several online tools that you can use to make animated images or animated GIFs. Most of them can be used by simply adding images as frames for your animated GIF. But what if you want to create an animated image (GIF) with frames taken from a video.

GifSoup is a special tool that you can use to convert your YouTube videos into an animated GIF file. With this tool, you won’t have to screen capture portions of the video just to create a frame for your animated GIF. You can simply find a YouTube video you want to convert into an animated GIF, paste the YouTube URL of that particular video on GifSoup and begin converting immediately.

You can add a title for your animated GIF and include it in its proper category. The processing takes a couple of minutes to finish. The duration of the conversion will depend upon the length of the video that you chose. Once the processing is completed, you can choose the Start Time and End Time of the animated GIF that you’ll grab from the video. You only have a 10 second limit on the time length so choose your timeline carefully. You can preview your animated GIF and save it when you’re satisfied.

GifSoup is great for converting short videos into animated GIFs. You can simply upload your video clip on YouTube and use GifSoup to make the conversion for you.

You’ll get alerts whenever your brand, product, company, favorite sports team or any keyword of your choice appears in a Twitter List that you want to monitor.

The service’s idea is straight forward. Instead of monitoring Twitter all the time and getting alerts whenever someone tweets something, which by the ways consumes a lot of time especially if you are following thousands of Twitter users, you can get notifications whenever someone belonging to a Twitter List of your choice tweets about something that you are interested in.

To create an alert, simply enter the full name of the list you want to follow on the first text box. Place the keyword that interests you on the second and finally, your email on the third text box. A verification email will be sent your address to prevent others from creating alerts on your behalf. You will then receive hourly updates depending on the availability of your keyword(s) on the Twitter List that you entered.

You can create as many alerts as you wish. All you need to do is repeat the process all over again and you can get totally new alerts on other keywords you wish to track on other Twitter Lists. At the moment, there is no digest of the alert. As soon as someone tweets with the specified keyword in the specified list, an email is sent to you. Another thing is that you cannot make “OR” queries. You’ll have to create a separate alert in order to get alerts if you wish to monitor a particular keyword separately.
