Utilities: Gadwin Printscreen

Printscreen, de knop die iedereen ergens rechts boven op zijn toetsenbord heeft staan. Het kan op momenten heel makkelijk zijn om het scherm dat je ziet, of het nu een website, foto of artikel is, vast te leggen.

Het grote nadeel van de printscreen knop? Steeds zal je volledig scherm woden gecaptured. Wil je nu net die 1ne foto, pech, dat 1 logo, pech,...


Maar daar komt snel een eind aan met Gadwin Printscreen. Met dit Freeware programma dat je gratis kan downloaden van de Gadwin Website, kan je zelf instellen welk deel je wil capturen, volledig scherm, zelf te selecteren deel, actief venster,... allemaal mogelijk! Jr kan de files ook automatisch laten opslaan in een zelf te kiezen directory. Zeer handig dus.

Zelf gebruik ik dit programma meer dan een jaar en ben er ZEER tevreden mee!

Two thumbs up!

Utilities: Stumble Upon

Het internet zil vol informatie. De ene al interessanter dan de andere, maar hoe vind je nu zaken die voor jou belangrijk zijn?

Via stumble upon kan je jouw interesses doorgeven. Door op de Stumble knop te drukken selecteerd het programma een website waarvan hij verwacht dat je hem leuk zal vinden. Je kan elke website een + of een - rating geven. Hierdoor leert het programma je beter kennen en zal je steeds meer en betere sites tegenkomen.

Zeer leuk om eens iets nieuw te leren kennen op het net!

Utilities: BlogRovR

In previous post, I talked about reading all your favorite blogs.

Off course, there are also many blogs out there that can have interesting or good information, but which you only need when searching or reading on a particular subject. This is where BlogRovR comes in play.

What is does is finding information on blogs and cross referencing with the website you are reading. It uses a small bar on the bottom right of your browser that pops out when there is information. When you click on the info, a new small window appears with the blogpost in it. (see example below)

For example: when visiting the BlogLines website, BlogRovR gives me the link to an article (of my own blog :-) ) concerning BlogLines.

Some info Clipped from the BlogRovR website

clipped from www.blogrovr.com About BlogRovR What is BlogRovR? BlogRovR also shows you suggested stories from blogs you may want to know about picked just for you. Why do I want to see related stories? You probably know lots of blogs which are worth reading, but not end-to-end, only when they talk about something you're really interested in. Or you may have read something in a blog a long time ago. With Rovr, when you surf to somewhere those blogs have talked about, you'll immediately be able to read what they said, right there.

Utilities: Bloglines

Blogging is becoming more and more popular every day. There are a lot of interesting blogs out there, but to keep up with them, you would need almost an entire day...

Luckily, Bloglines is there to help you out. With this web based utility, you can subscribe to all your favorite blogs, with only one mouse click, and it will keep you up to date with changes and new articles.


You no longer need to browse all the blogs one by one.

Utilities: Clipmarks

When surfing the net, often you find info that you want to share with other. This might be an article you want to post on your blog, send as an email or...

Now, the solution arrives as an plug in for your internet browser called Clipmarks. It is supported by Internet Explorer and FireFox (and others). When you visit a page that you like, you can simply push 1 button, select the text, pictures and video's you want to clip, select the send method (to blog, to mail,...) and you are done.

Here you can find an example and on the right side of this page you can find my clipmarks at the clipcast plugin.

I like it!
