Ever need to resize a picture for posting? I have liked to use IrfanView (or similar programs), but today was given two very nice online tools:
There are some good websites that will do image resizing as well — so you don’t need a desktop application. A couple that I have used are shown below.

I was having an email discussion with a colleague around social bookmarking tools vs the Firefox extension, Foxmarks. He like the extension because it organizes in folders. I have always been a list kinda person, but del.icio.us has changed the way I look at saving resources. Anyway, here is some of the conversation:
– check out the extension Foxmarks
(me) how is it better than social bookmarking?
– I had difficulty getting del.icio.us to organize into folders like I’m used to. I’m really into “tabbed browsing” and like having things where I can open a whole set of tabs all at once.
(me)I can see where a “folder kinda guy” might find social bookmarking a bit different. I use tagging to take care of the organization portion. What I really like is the ability to share the bookmarks with others, the cross-referencing through tags, the piping of bookmarks to my webpages etc.
