There are plenty of screen capture tools available – but all of them that I’ve seen have been desktop based. ScreenCastle has created a very slick and browser based screen capture tool.
Built using Java, ScreenCastly really does provide 1 click recording. Simply click hte big red button and the java applet will launch allowing you to select the area of screen you wish to record. No registration is required.
The end result, in my tests, wasn’t as smooth as what you get from a desktop based solution, but it was certainly very decent.

FeedWeaver will combine multiple RSS feeds into one. Plus you can use keyword filters to get rid of the stuff that doesn’t interest you.
Feedweaver isn’t unique, we have come across simlar services, but we dig the design and simplicity.

Tweet O’Clock is a simple application that will tell you what the best day and time of day to tweet someone.
Simply enter the users Twitter username on the site and it will calculate the best time based on the time day the user tweets most.
p.s 10pm on a Wednesday probably isn’t the best time to Tweet me!

With Gazup you can upload your file to multiple file sharing sites such as RapidShare, MegaUpload and MediaFile. If you are constantly having to re-upload deleted files, this site is for you!
This isn’t the first site to offer this kind of service, but it is nicely designed and free of obtrusive and anooying advertising.
Plus you will earn reward points everytime someone downloads your file. The top earner has already made $294 just this month – pretty impressive.

TinyChat is like TinyURL but for chatrooms. The idea is you click a button and you are presented with a link to your new chatroom. You can then easily Tweet this out to your Twitter followers.
This is a great way for extending a conversation beyond Twitter using real-time chat. This puts a nice web 2.0 twist on chat. The service is currently not feature rich, but its slick, clean and well designed.

Facebook and Twitter can really kill your productivty. So reclaim some of your time with the free KeepMeOut web app.
This tool will warn you if you have visited a site more than once in a period of time you specify. Then, to access the site you are addicted to, you do so through a bookmark rather than typing the URL.
This isn’t a perfect solution but we do like the concept and it might be your cure!

Ok, so personally I don’t value my Tweets enough to have them backed up – but others might. TweetBackup will backup all your Tweets on a daily basis.
However there are a few flaws with this concept. Firstly the idea of doing a backup is so that you can restore the data if something goes wrong. But, unfortunately Twitter offers no import function and I can’t imagine they ever would (could you imagine the spam).
Secondly I doubt Twitter will start losing your Tweets anytime soon. Maybe this is just an app for all you hoarders out there.

Do you ever find yourself struggling to fit what you’re trying to say into 140 characters? 140it will shrink down your Tweets by reducing words and removing spaces.
They will also convert url’s into a bit.ly shortened version and substitute company names for stock symbols.
This is a great idea that can be utilized right from Twitter using a bookmarklet!

Chat rooms may have dies with the start of web 2.0 but we still think they have a place on the intertubes. Webby Chat has created a fresh approach to web chat with a slick new app. With just a few lines of copy and pasted code you can display a chat box across your website that allows your visitors to chat to one another.
We have added it to iDezy for testing – take a look and why not test it out.
The app is very unobtusive and sits hidden until the user wishes to expand it out.

Heyzap is apparently aiming to be the YouTube of games. Simply put, HeyZap allows you to put a widget on your site which effectively adds 4000+ games to your page.
Im not sure if this is a hugely useful service, and I also have doubts that adding this widget will drive traffic to a site. My experience is that people would rather go to a destination site rather than having to dig through your site and a widget to find a game.
