Brainstorming online tools

I have blogged in the past about prezi, and I think is one of the coolest presentation tools out there.
I would like to share a couple of other brainstorming tools that might be useful for your thinking processes:

Forvo: the pronunciation guide. All the words in the world pronounced by native speakers

pixelpipe: the best tool for social networking

Pixelpipe is a content distribution gateway that allows users to publish text, photo, video and audio files once through Pixelpipe and have the content distributed across over 75 social networks, photo/video sites and blogs, and online storage. They provide a number of mobile & desktop applications for users, liberating their content and sharing their life.

I just added the iPhone 3GS app and configured pipes to this blog, youtube (for videos), facebook (videos, photos and posts) and twitter.

This the THE tool.

Photoshop? nope, aviary

aviaryAlways wanted to have photoshop or software to edit photos?
Well, photoshop is very expensive, heavy and very difficult to use.

On previous posts I have mentioned several “cloud” software. I do like the “cloud” approach.

For those who are not familiar with the term, it would basically mean that you run programs on your internet browser (IE, Firefox or Safari), with no need to install it on your computer. The heavy work is done by the server. You need internet sure, but some of them can also work offline with Google Gears. 

Anyway, after having mentioned Google Apps, Zoho (office-like), dimdim (for meetings) and many others, now I wanted to talk about Aviary. Aviary lets you edit images, create mind-blowing effects, design logos, find colors, collaborate, and more. All with just your web browser, and free.

event management online

My favourites are “my punch bowl” for A-Z free event organization, and “eventbrite” which is very professional and free for free events. Then a commission for paid ones. “aimado” is very good too.

Then you can also organise events using outlook or iCal.

Social networking tools such as Facebook allow you also to create events and manage attendance.

A very simple tool to agree on a date or on what to bring or whatever is doodle.

The best professional one cvent.

gubb

Remember I posted a link to a web based “to do” list called “Remember the Milk“?
Remeber the Milk was very good web tool to manage your to do lists. It even has offline mode using google gears.

Now we have a new comer in the market: gubb

gubb is a free web-based application with an easy-to-use interface that enables you to create, manage and share an unlimited number of lists.

gubb is for any and all the lists you can think of: from every day shopping and to-do lists to wishlists, brainstorming notes, personal goals, group projects and more. Just about as easy as jotting something down on paper, only better. You’ll always know where your lists are; you can edit and organize them any time; and you can share with friends and co-workers in seconds.

I use Things for mac and iPhone. Also Evernote.
