I am sitting in the airport in Charlotte, NC waiting for my flight to Charleston, SC for SC/MLA conference and thanks to the free airport WiFi I have stumbled across LawLib Tech's Cool Tools for Webmasters from the Internet Librarian Conference 2007. The title is slightly misleading because a lot of these web tools are great to use regardless of whether you are a webmaster or not.

The two I find most interesting are Sketchcasting (blog using sketches instead of words) and Picnik (online photo editor), I will have to try them out when I have some down time. (Hopefully regular down time, not flight is delayed down time.)

Check out the website and see how one of these tools might help you out for future projects. For example, anybody who is interested in sharing their PowerPoint slides (for collaboration or for fun) might want to check out these PowerPoint sharing tools: Slideshare.net, Scribd (good for very long presentations), Splashcast (combine ppt and multi-media), Zoho Show (edit online), and SlideAware (limited free access).

Like I said, oodles of toys and it isn't event Christmas yet.

-Update- It seems I jinxed myself and my flight to Charleston has been cancelled so I have 2 hours to play with these toys. Sorry to my fellow fliers for jinxing us.
