Do everything you used to need a computer for, online

24th May 2010 by clare white

Through some sort of magic, or at least venture capital in distant cities, the web is delivering an incredible array of tools to make collaboration and running any sort of project easier.

I’ve been keeping a list of useful tools for some time and thanks to @dortdotky I’ve been getting all excited about this list, which leads to this list.

We can’t vouch for all these, some might be dead by now and they’re not all free, but the lists are well worth exploring. You might just stumble across something dazzling like Aviary. And don’t forget my previous foray into Google’s offerings.

If you’re looking for anything specific, leave a comment and we can always ask the friendly community out there.

    Thanks to Clare and Scott for the list. I’ve also come across one of the best uses of flash ever the other day, which goes by the name of Sumo Paint.

    http://www.sumopaint.com/home/

    It’s basically a photoshop clone, but it’s all done via your web browser. But guess what, it’s not a pile of tosh, it’s actually really very good. Especially considering it’s free, and also the price of photoshop.

    I use photoshop on a daily basis and I really found sumo paint extremely easy to use. It has layers, brushes, shapes, some pretty impressive filters, crop, resize etc.

    You can upload images from your desktop, and theres even a choice of saving them on sumos servers, or if you use not to, you can store them locally as well.

    Sumo paint exports to layered png format, jpg, and it’s own sumo file.

    My final tip with sumo paint, is to use google chrome’s browser and turn it into an application, so it doesn’t even look like a web page when you use it, it looks like the real thing.
