Fav4.org: your in-browser Web Apps launcher

Do you like using application launchers and wished you could have one inside your Browser with your top-used web apps? Fav4 offers a great solution for that.

As the name suggests, you can add up to 4 of your favorite apps to your page. Using Fav4 is extremely simple: pick your favorite apps, drag them and re-arrange them as you like.

The icons are very well made and the page looks great. You might initially have the urge to think: why just 4? However, after a while, you realize it is good that folks behind Fav4 put this limit, so you force yourself to pick only the pages you use the most. If you're like me, you probably spent hours organizing you bookmarks with your many favorite links but always ends up typing the url instead.

Try Fav4 here. I have just set it as my Home Page in Firefox.

You can create your own scores, choose to share them with others, or publish them to Noteflight's browsable, searchable online library of music. And it doesn't cost a thing: Noteflight.com is free for individual use.

FollowUpThen Automates Email Follow Ups [via Lifehacker]

via lifehacker.com

I really liked the concept and would love to use the product. However, I am not sure folks will be comfortable to send corporate communication to a 3rd-party unless it is a company they reaaaaly trust.

I am interested in learning about how these guys will address this fundamental issue.

AudioBox.fm - Your media library in the cloud. Your mobile iTunes.

via audiobox.fm

I am writing this post listening to music from my personal library. What's new about that? The fact that I can do it from any computer I use (and from my iPod Touch soon).

AudioBox.fm is a sleek player that looks a lot like iTunes. It allows you to upload your media to their secure server and then listen (and manage playlists) from any browser (Mac, Linux and Windows). iPhone app is currently under development.

For now, they are offering a Free 250 MB plan, but soon they will provide different paid plans to allow you to upload your whole library, hopefully at a reasonable price.

So far, the experience has been great. Setting up the account was a snap and I didn't have any problems uploading roughly 100 MB in MP3 songs. By the way, sound quality is very good and I didn't experience any buffering gaps.

uvLayer.com: Next Generation Interface for Online Videos + Photos

via youtube.com

Just started to play with uvLayer, and am really impressed with the sleek interface. According to their website:

uvlayer makes it easy and fun to organize video, photos, and games so you can enjoy them with your friends wherever you are. You can discover and collect media from places like YouTube, Flickr, Hulu, Revision3 and many more.

uvlayer enables you to create collections of media and store them the way you want and where you want.

You can use the web app or download the air desktop version. For now, the content is limited and US-centric, but the app certainly has a lot of potential.

Just moved Flyabyte from Squarespace to Posterous

Posterous

I still need to make some adjustments, but I just managed the bulk of moving FLYABYTE from Squarespace into Posterous. It was not an easy process, but so far I am very satisfied with the many features provided by Posterous.

I made this move due to 2 reasons:

  1. I wanted the ability to do 1-click publishing (like the ones provided by Tumblr), to keep the blog alive without having to spend too much time writing long posts.
  2. 12 bucks a month has not been worth-it anymore, given this is not a site I make money on.
Folks on Squarespace: congrats for your great service! I'll miss you.
Folks on Posterous: very glad to have joined your product. I am extremely impressed with it.
FLYABYTE readers: Hope you enjoy the new layout. Not as fancy as the one from Squarespace, but hopefully as functional. Please provide your feedback by commenting on this post.

Enjoy!

Rollip Pro: 1-click photo post-processing, now with 40 retro effects (free account included for the first 10 to sign-up)

Effect4-small

A few months ago I wrote about Rollip, a simple and creative web application that allowed transforming any digital photo into a Polaroid-like picture.

According to the folks at Rollip, many users requested the ability to export the processed images back into the high-quality original size, and without borders. They took the feedback to heart, and now offer this option on the Pro accounts. They also expanded their effect's portfolio to 40, offering very cool retro-style options to transform your photos.

The Pro account costs USD $2.99 for 15 credits (each credit allow 1 photo processed), which translates into roughly 20 cents per photo. I found the price very reasonable, given the convenience provided and the quality of the effects.

One aspect I would propose they improve, though, is the fact that you need to upload your picture again if you want to try different effects. If they could keep your original image, the process would be easier. I don't know the complexity involved, but it would be great to see thumbnails for the uploaded image with the different effects applied, so you can choose the effect that looks better for your specific photo.

As a special deal from Rollip for FLYABYTE readers, the first 10 users to sign-up for a Rollip Pro account through this link, will get 30 credits for free (worth $5,98 per account). Hurry and get your free account now!
