Absolutely the simplest photo sharing web sites I’ve ever seen, PiccDrop lets you upload ANY kind of image file - jpeg,jpg,png,tiff,bmp,gif,ico,icn,svg,pdf,icns,hdi,psd… you name it!  File sizes up to 6MB are hosted forever, and you can upload as much as you want!  

Nice thing is, once you upload your picture, it takes you right to it!  No crappy sign up, or free trial, or low res image - just the picture, just the way you want it

I’m a bit of a photo fanatic - I really enjoy amateur photography.  I’m OK with Photoshop, but there is an easier way of creating some really cool effects - Dumpr.net.  There are many different effects to choose from - just upload your photo, choose a photo from Flickr, and that’s it! 

Above is just a sample of the effects you can do at Dumpr.  Go, upload, then brag about your ’shop skills!

It’s been a long time since MTV was actually associated with music videos… but it’s now returned to it’s roots - online anyway!  From first looks, MTV Music looks like a tremendous website - clean interface, flash video streaming, and a huge selection of music!  Now if only CMT would do the same thing…

This is a lot of fun!  Not really productive, but Says-It.com lets you make all sorts of badges, symbols, fake tapes, records, seals, and loads of other stuff!  Go on, make a funny sign, and have fun!!!

I was planning a trip recently, and with gas prices, I was really concerned with how much it would cost me in gas.  Cost to Drive is a very easy to use web application on top of Google Maps, and can estimate the cost of gas for your trip.

Unfortunately, the website didn’t work in Firefox, so I had to use Internet Explorer… Not happy about that, and almost didn’t continue, but it made up for it with it’s results.

*Note:  This is not my trip, nor do I drive a Lotus Elise…

It not only calculates the distance, but asks for your car’s year, make and model, to get a more accurate calculation.  One thing I noticed, is that at the last fill up stop, Cost To Drive only gave me 3.5 gallons of fuel, because that is all I needed to reach my destination.  Of course, I would fill up there, so keep that in mind when doing your planning.  Other than that, and the fact it didn’t work with Firefox, it is a handy website!
