If you upload a lot of content and to a lot of different websites, you might be frustrated at times about how repetitive things can be. Check out Fireuploader.

I found this amazing tool called browsershots while browsing today. It takes a snapshot of any URL using 43 different brands/versions of browsers. Its not instantaneous, but if you are willing to wait a few minutes it can save you a lot of pain.

Scoble discusses a relatively new site called upcoming to track new upcoming events.

I’ve picked the best events from my friends and added them to my own profile there. If I can’t make an event, but think it’s a good one for you to consider I say “I’m watching.” You can see which events I’m attending as well. What you can’t see is that when you have a ton of friends that you’ve hand picked, like I have, whenever you sign into Upcoming.org it’ll show you new events that your friends have added that you should consider. Then you can see what those events are, and who is attending them.

I knew they were growing at fast rate, but I had no idea that there are 80 of them today. I’ll be shocked and surprised if 1/2 of them survive another 2 to 3 years. Ramakrishna from Univ of Texas had presented a paper on “SafeStore: A Durable and Practical Storage System” at the 2007 Usenix conference which kind of talks about how to safely and securely store your data across multiple service providers. I’ll be very surprised if no one implements this in the near future.
