Working in the online realm I have come to embrace a wide range of services that solve specific needs, but also enable me to stitch content together with little scarring. Below is an overview of some of the services I find useful.
Blogger
This was the host of my primary blog before I switched to the current format of two blogs on my own server. It contains notes from different things that I present online. It is operated by Google, but redirected to my domain: blog.bareknut.no.
flickr (Pro)
Is the online image host and community of photographers owned and operated by Yahoo. The appeal of flickr is its narrow focus on images and its very active community. Posting the right image to the right interest group can generate a lot of hits on an image.
Vimeo
As opposed to the wildly popular youtube operated by Google, Vimeo offers a calmer more content creation focused workflow and community. The majority of content appears to be made by the original uploader.
Picasaweb
I use the Picasa image browser as my day to day images organizer on my stationary computer. Google operates a lot of the services i use and also Picasa/Picasaweb. As picasaweb is the online storage of the Picasa software it is ideal in working with images on the blog.
Del.icio.us
Also a subsidiary of Yahoo, del.icio.us provides an common pool for bookmarks over many platforms and discrete devices. The strength of annotating bookmarks with tags and notes makes it easy to categorize and order them in an very useful way for reuse by me and others. Streams of relevant bookmarks can be syndicated to mine or others blogs through RSS.
WordPress.org
Is the self-service version of WordPress.com. Available for download and installation on your own servers the software enables great control and an economical way of publishing material related to my work. The sites behind.untappedEnergy.org & untappedenergy.org are published through the WordPress installation.
