Skitch Amazes Again!


I love Skitch, in the 3 weeks I have been using it it has already become on of my favorite apps. Today I learned that you can drag an Illustrator file into Skitch and it will automatically make it into a .jpg or whatever file extension you need. I had an Illustrator file that was too large to save-for-web (isn't that weird?) and Skitch came through. Although I have only tried this on an Illustrator file, I am positive that it would work on a Photoshop file as well. This will definitely make it a lot easier for me to take simple save-for-web screenshots in the future :).

Fontstuct!



I have been seeing a lot of info about Fontstruct around the internet lately, so today I tried it out. For those of you that don't know, Fontstruct is an online font maker/editor that is free and super easy to use. I attempted to make an quick set of letters, but quickly learned that you have to go into this game with a strategy.

Diigo!

I discovered Diigo through LifeClever the other day and have just been in love with it. Diigo is essentially an advanced version of del.icio.us. You can leave comments on a bookmarked page for others, highlight text, leave a sticky note, and of course tag. The advanced social features are great, and Diigo makes it easier to see what my friends are bookmarking from a central login page much like facebook's newsfeed. Check me out on Diigo!
