A new “version” of the popular ShareThis tool has been released. You will probably recognize the icon as it has been used on thousands of blogs the world over, due to the simplicity it adds to allowing visitors to bookmark, email or otherwise share articles they are reading.

If you are looking to add a way for your users to quickly share your content, the new ShareThis should help do that.

Xhtml Slicer

With multiple slicing services available just about every where you look, it is hard to select a clear leader. Each service offers its own benefits and has its own pricing scheme – some more expensive than others. Today we look at XHTML Slicer, a service I recently used for client work.

Formspring

The latest in the ever growing list of web 2.0 startups based on form building that I’ve stumbled upon is Formspring. Does Formspring “spring” any new features on us that Wufoo, Icebrrg, and others don’t already offer?

Firebug – Dream or Nightmare?

Firebug is a new Firefox extension which gives developers a slew of amazing source viewing and editing power, but will rippers use the benefits of the program for their own monetary advantage?
