Ge.tt it is a simple web app, which provides one of the easiest way to share files over the web and is completely free with no registration required.
“Step 1: Select files”; “Step 2: Share” and “Step 3: Move on” says Ge.tt to explain the simple procedure for you to use this web app. No registration required, once you’ve selected the file, you’ll receive the public URL to share it. This one is already a short URL, so you can use it directly in Twitter.
Includes the option for registered users (registration is free of course) which includes a few more features: Files are not removed until inactivity for three months; you can add/remove the files you’ve uploaded; and you’ll get live statistics.
Twitlogo lets you generate in a simple way, with any text, a logo with all the similarity as in Twitter logo.
It also has some options for you to customize the text you are using: Font size, color and the outline color. After you’ve created the image, you’ll get the link to download the file as a PNG, simple as that.
Even though there is nothing magical about this web app, can be very helpful to create the logo with your Twitter username and placing it in your site.
How do we design our website is the key factor to achieve popularity, there’s no point on having a lot of great content if we are designing a complex site which it is extremely expensive to maintain it. W3tableless is a simple web app which will show us if the website design follows some of the best practices.
Even though there’s no golden rule about how to correctly design your website, there are several best practices that should not be avoid. One of them is “tableless”: A design technique for dividing the architecture of our site separating content and design. Therefore the maintenance costs of the website are reduced.
W3tableless will show you with just one click and completely free if your website is using this best practices. Just enter the URL and click on “CHECK”.
We will receive also a complete report about the website: Number of DIV tags, TABLE tags, Encoding, XML Prolog, etc.
MP32Tube it’s another YouTube web app which we can use to upload MP3, WAV or M4V files to YouTube using the images we select to create a video.
Most applications we can use related to YouTube are mostly for downloading videos, downloading only the audio file, etc.; but just a few are focused on the uploading process. MP32Tube fits perfectly for users who want to share music or some audio files using the YouTube engine.
Using this application is also very simple: Upload images (jpg, jpeg, gif and png supported); upload the audio file; edit the video info and create the video.
MP32Tube also offers a secure method for using your YouTube account: All the connections to the account are done through Google’s AuthSub API. Meaning they never have access to your password.
Gomez is a company that created the “Mobile Readiness Test” which evaluates and rates your site in a mobile environment. The test is incredibly complete and free, but it requires you to use a registration before running the test.
The usability for smart phones has increased enormously in the last few years, making the mobile market a far more lucrative and where, of course, companies keep investing. That’s why offering our web site stable and with a nice presentation in every environment is a key factor.
Gomez test provides a test where we can rate our sites in different factors like:
- Page weight.
- Readiness Compliance Test.

FacetoFind is a simple and free web app which allows us to search videos within Facebook network. No registration required, just type in your search and you’ll get the results.
Even though Facebook’s search could be a very powerful tool to find people, pages, applications or groups; still there’s no easy way to find content like videos. FacetoFind can simplify all this work; but even more you can download those videos to your PC.
You don’t need to register nor install any application, just access the site and enjoy the videos. The site also contains the “most viewed” and “most recent videos” available.
Twee.li is an application which allows you to use it as a normal Twitter app but also gives you the ability to instantly chat with your followers. Tweet.li is completely free but still has some cons.
Tweet.li, developed in Adobe AIR, comes as an idea to replace TinyChat and other similar web apps which you can use in your browser but easily share the chat rooms to your Twitter timeline and invite followers; including also the possibility to login using your Twitter account name.
But even though the idea sounds great there are a few cons so far: To use it with your followers, they must use Tweet.li as well, no other option available; also the application stability and performance are not actually the best, since it takes a few moments for the timeline to update.
Even though I enjoy saying “Twitter is not a chat room”, there are some exceptions and there are even more number of users who actually use it for chatting.
TweetLevel, developed by Edelman, is a simple but powerful web app which provides a way to measure the influence level of people according to their activity on Twitter.

That was the easy explanation; do you want the complex one? Ok here’s the TweetLevel formula:
There we can see there are other variables like: Number of updates; velocity; following users; name pointing; etc. But no worries, the complete explanation of this can be found here.
In the top five we can find:
1. Justin Bieber.
2. Perez Hilton.
3. SouljaBoy.

Ashton Kutcher is number 11; Puff Daddy, 14; Barack Obama, 19; among other interesting Twitter users.
And you? What’s your Tweet Level?
