And so the world went viral.
Vimeo and Youtube aren’t the only two video hosting services out there, but they are the “big two” in my mind. Update: Check out the post on Wistia.
BuiltWith.com
Sometimes it’s cool to know what a site is built on/with.
Giving results in a list summary format, BuiltWith has come in handy with a right-click or by entering a URL.
BuiltWith is a web technology information provider, tracking over 147 million active websites and performing over 900 billion technology lookups each year, BuiltWith is a leader in the web technology research field.
Google Apps
If you’re building a website or even just working with your own domain, I recommend that you consider Google Apps.
The main thing I want you to know is that using Google’s services (or “apps”) with your own domain is free for individuals and small teams of less than 10.
UPDATE
As of 12/2012 Google changed their business model to a “for-fee”. Unfortunately, most of the excitement in this post is no longer pertinent.
Themezilla
It’s hard to limit what can be said about Orman Clark and the team behind Themezilla. Why? Because he is also the guy behind PremiumPixels.com (free stuff for aspiring designers) and overall good design.
I’ve personally used or worked with a number of Orman’s themes (now “Themezilla’s Themes”) and can vouch for their ease of use and customer support.
It’s a good place to start if you want to start somewhere other than ThemeForest.
They also have some plugins worth checking out.
Google Web Fonts
The world of “fonts” (or type/typography), for whatever reason, has almost always mattered to me in my time with the computer.
Ever take an extra moment to choose a font for the “Title” of your paper back in high school (or college) that sort of embodied the feeling/meaning of your submission? When allowed, without thinking about it, I almost always did that.
