Useful Things
Dipity
By Janis Gonser, TradeMark Media Developer
 Creating interactive timelines can be simple. With an easy-to-use interface, Dipity allows you to upload descriptions, images, URLs, videos from video-sharing sites and even locations that display via Google Maps. With a simple code snippet, the timeline can be embedded into your own site and registered users can comment on your content. There are four different payment plans, including a free personal version.
Example timelines:
Greasemonkey
By Kyle Greenan, TradeMark Media Designer
 Greasemonkey is an add-on for the popular open-source Web browser Firefox. Greasemonkey allows you to customize Web sites using Javascript. You don’t need to be a programmer to use it, either. If you can install a program, then you can use Greasemonkey. One specific Greasemonkey script I like adds Twitter Search Results on Google when you do a Web search. Remember, these are user-generated scripts so use caution when you install them.
