ImageBot: A Handy Image Editor That Lets You Import & Save Images To Facebook

Many online image editing tools are available out there, such as Aviary, Pixlr and the Photoshop etc. They all are really good and boast a lot of features but the main problem with them is that they are really complex to use and most of the people don't even know how to use them. This is where ImageBot comes to help. It is a handy and easy to use image editing web app. Anyone can use this app to add some of the basic effects to their images. It lets you add some general effects that will enhance your pictures, like blur, shadow, color, resize etc. You can also edit or remove effects at any time you want. Moreover, this awesome app connects directly with your Facebook account, so you have the ability of importing images from albums,and you can open and edit them directly.

Tip : Facebook Browser Extensions

ImageBot can also be used for editing images stored in your system or at any URL -- simply drag & drop any image from your system or enter a URL, and then this app will import the picture. The layout of this app is also very simple; a toolbar is present at the top that has some general menus such as File, Edit, View, Layer, Object, Windows & Help. Five buttons are present just under these menu options and these buttons allow you to create a new picture, open an existing picture(you can alternatively drag & drop them on to the canvas) save any alterations you made to the picture, import a picture from a URL or open a picture from one of your Facebook albums.

All the effects and other control options are present on the left of the screen. This great tool has been created by FlamingText, so it is obvious that you are provided with the ability to access to many graphics from the website. The Library allows adding shapes, stickers, logos (effects) and photo effects, or import photos from Facebook. Choose any category and all sub-options will be displayed. All effects can also be previewed in the same panel.

This tool provides you with a few color choices when you are adding shapes or entering effects, and that is why it is for the amateur photo editor. Defining a fill color and a stroke color is very easy; all you have to do is to click a color and that will set it as the fill color, while holding Shift and then clicking a color sets it as the stroke color. You also have the ability to set the stroke’s opacity, style, width and blur from the options window on the right side. You can also add, remove or reorder layers from the Layers menu or from the layers window just under the Options window.

Now what to do if you want to apply an effect to the photo? Simply choose an object or for the photo effects to be active. If you wish to enter text simply click the (T) button on the left. You can flip or rotate an image by clicking one of the four green arrow buttons on the top. You may group several photos together. In order to change the canvas size, simply go to File> Document Properties.

All tools are present in the Library panel on the right. You can choose the photo you wish to use a tool on or apply an effect to, and then simply click Image effects. Sub-menus are also present under photo effects and they include Border, Tools, Color, Light & Shadow, Blur and Fun.

Tools category boasts options that will let you edit the picture, and Fun category boasts several kinds of graphics from FlamingText that you can add to your photo. You have the ability of saving photos in JPEG or PNG format, or in SVG (ImageBot format). Saving them directly to Facebook is also possible. In order to save a photo, simply click the Save button and the save dialog box will open up. Photos are saved to your browser’s default download folder.

This app cannot replace the popular feature-rich image editors, but this is ideal for all those people who want to edit their images easily. It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand image editor that anyone can use, even amateur photo editors.

All Your Searches Will Soon Be Encrypted By Google

If you feel a bit queasy while sending in shady search queries, then there is a good news for you that Google is soon going to encrypt searches. Only after a few weeks, users who are signed into their Google account would be directed to the HTTPS search page for secure searches.

According to Google this thing would be extremely beneficial for those people who do searches from public Wi-Fi networks. SSL encryption has always been used in banking and other financial sites, but now we see it being implemented in many other ways too. For example, most of the email service now use SSL as the default view.

Websites that get clicks from searches will still be able to see a list of aggregated search terms that brought them viewers, but they will not get to see the information about individual clicks. If you don’t have a Google account, but still want to search this way then you can manually navigate to the HTTPS google site.

How to Succeed in App Development

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 06:46 PM PDT

There is no doubt that apps for smartphones, whether they be traditional or prepaid phones, are becoming incredibly popular and highly important. Smartphone usage is only expect to grow exponentially in the next few years, and more and more individuals are turning to their apps to guide them through and entertain them in their daily lives. For web developers, this means choosing to switch gears and start developing apps that have the potential to be highly lucrative.

However, developing apps isn't so easy. Most web developers lack business savvy which can become prohibitive when trying to get your app picked up. Never fear, there are a few easy tips any app developer can follow to make obtaining success in the app development process easier:

Learn Layman's Terms

Business professionals are business professionals, not tech-speak gurus. Don't expect them to understand the tech terms that you have based your entire career around. In fact, speaking in only tech terms is a great way to get quickly dismissed. To better your odds, learn how to adequately convey your idea in layman's terms. Not only will your pitch make the company you are working for more likely to pick up your idea, but it will also make the entire transaction run more smoothly.

Simplicity is Golden

One of the biggest issues that app developers run into is complexity. Once apps begin to come together, the tend to seem very simplistic and have been an easy design. It is this simplicity that should be sought after. Unfortunately, many see that simplicity as a reason to add only more complex features to an app. While making an app more complicated may increase its functionality, it often just makes it a mess and way to complicated for users. Always try to keep apps as user friendly and as simple as possible. Not only will it be easier to design, but it will be easier to use – which will more likely make it a hit.

Know Your Limits

Business owners don't often know how much is too much design, and you often have to let them know when enough is enough. Never be afraid to tell a client that adding that other additional feature will destroy the app or slow it down so much that it might as well not exist. They hired you to be their expert, and although they may continue to make absurd request, will most likely respect the boundaries you set in place because of your professional expertise.

Smartphone app design is only going to continue to grow in popularity. The field is already incredibly competitive; however, if an app designer also knows how to be an effective business man or woman, he or she will most likely be able to achieve success and stay ahead of other designer desperately seeking to develop the next Angry Birds.

Backup Folder Sync Lets You Backup And Restore Your Data

As the name suggests Backup Folder Sync is a tool that has the ability of backing up and restoring your data. It backs up your selected folders and then you can save them to any local folder, external drive, USB stick, network share or mapped drive, and them simply restore them to any folder of your choice, even the original one.

Tip = 5 Best Free Backup Software for Windows 7

This app lets you save backup selections as jobs, so you are not required to choose the folders every single time you are creating a backup of some specific folders. You are also provided with a detailed report that lists every single file and folder being affected.

At the time you re-do your backups, only those files are copied that have been added or changed. The item in the backup destination folder will also be deleted when any folders in the source are deleted. In this way you won't have any old items.

Backup Folder Sync boasts two panes. In the left pane the backup folders appear, and in the right pane the restore process is displayed. At the top, you would see some buttons like, Open Job, Save Job, Refresh, Clear, Destination, Backup, Restore etc.

To start simply click on the 'Destination' to select a local or a remote location in order to save your backups. You can select folders by right-clicking the directories that you wish to include, and Ctrl+right-click to exclude.

After you are done with selecting the folders, now all you have to do is to click Backup. You are required to typ in a name for the backup job.

As aforementioned, saving the backup jobs will prove to be beneficial for you when the next time you are required to create a backup of the same folders, you simply have to open the job and all your folders will be pre-selected. This amazing tool would also show all the files in the right pane.

When you wish to restore your data, simply choose the Destination where you saved your backups, then click Restore Open and choose the folders you wish to restore by simply right clicking on them. After you are done with selecting all the folders you want, just click Restore.

Deleting or changing the file or folder in source, and then overwriting the back up, will also delete them in the backup in order to get rid of all the unwanted files and folders. A downer of this tool is that you do not have the ability of scheduling your backups to be performed automatically, but we hope the creator of this tool will take care of this downer in the future releases. You are required to have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher to run this app and it works on all versions of Windows.

Effectively Testing Your Website in Multiple Browsers

As a website designer you have the ability to create an attractive and functional design. Unfortunately, you do not have the ability to control which internet browsers will be using to view your site. Because each browser behaves differently you will need to test your projects in multiple browsers.

In most cases the variation from one browser to another will be minor, and probably will not even be noticeable to the average visitor. However, sometimes you site will have major problems in a particular browser that can prevent visitors from being able to use the site. The best way to be sure that your site is usable in different browsers is sufficient testing.

How Can You Test Your Website in Different Browsers?

For starters, you should be familiar with which browsers are most commonly used by your visitors. After all, you’ll want to make those browsers the biggest priority. Google Analytics will show you a breakdown of which browsers are being used by your visitors and how many visitors are using each one, breaking it down into a pie chart (shown below).

Once you know which browsers are most commonly used by your visitors you should focus your testing efforts on those browsers. You can easily install several different browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Netscape, but with the huge amount of browsers available you’ll never be able to have them all. This is where you will need the help of a few specific tools.

BrowserShots – Test your website in different browsers. BrowserShots creates screenshots of your pages in a wide variety of browsers and displays them for you to see. It also has several additional options.
