Students and professionals will definitely appreciate these time-saving and results-boosting web tools. Check ‘em out and spread the word!

Scrible
Ever wish you could treat the web a little more like a textbook? Take notes in the margins, highlight text, and add sticky notes? BAM. Scrible to the rescue. A must for online researchers, this Javascript based add-on is a cinch to install. Head to their website and literally just drag the button into your bookmarks toolbar. Now you’ve got all the tools you’ll need in a totally convenient drop-down toolbar. PLUS you can save annotated webpages, or email them to colleagues!

SignNow.com
What a fantastic, simple, and useful idea. Need to sign a doc that’s been emailed to you? Forget printing, signing, scanning, and emailing it back. Upload it to SignNow’s bank security-level server, use their online tool to sign with your trackpad or even your mobile phone, then email the doc without wasting any paper or fighting with a scanner. SignNow deletes all your finished documents, it’s 100% legal and it works on iPhone, Android, and all computer browsers.

Brainscape
Digital flashcards aren’t a new idea, but these are a little different. Instead of just flipping the card to show you the answer, the program also has you rate your confidence in your answer so it knows how often to bring that card up in your deck. Plus, you can choose from their extensive range of already-made flashcard decks (on subjects ranging from SAT vocab to French conjugations to cocktail recipes), or you can make your own!

BeyondCredentials.com
We’re adding this tool to the list as something students should check out, but we’re also going to issue a warning with it. The idea is an online professional resume, with areas for a cover letter, writing samples, and other portfolio materials – and the layout is really quite nice. The site is, however, only available to those attending the country’s top 300 accredited universities who also have a GPA of higher than 3.0. How do they check that? Good question. Their FAQs don’t really provide a straight answer, and some of the statistics tossed around their site also seem a little fishy. Check it out, but don’t think this is gonna do away with a good old-fashioned paper resume anytime soon.

iPhone Apps for Spring Cleaning

It’s that time, people. Quit your groaning and get motivated with these apps to digitally improve your Spring Cleaning efforts!

Chore Pad
Keep your ongoing chores organized with this super-handy app, which will not only let you make a list of chores, but will also reset them every day, week, or after any number of days you specify. Plus, you can add all the members of your family as users and divide up the chores among them! Then, assign points to each task, and let your family collect them for prizes. Promise the kids ice cream when they get to 10 points, and they’ll rush to get their chores done! ($2.99 /
Feng Shui Bagua Map
Discover your inner peace by rearranging your furniture! We’re sure it’s a little more complicated than that, but a little change of decor might be just the ticket to getting your zen on. ($1.99)
ColorSnap by Sherman Williams
Get ambitious and repaint! This app will let you browse the whole catalogue of Sherman Williams paint colors, and, even better, you can snap a photo of any color that catches you eye and match it to a paint color. Then use the app to create a whole custom palette for your room and head to Home Depot! (Free)
LockBox
Don’t limit your Spring organization efforts to your home, though! If you haven’t already invested the time and effort into setting yourself up a password keeper, we highly recommend it. This app will reduce the number of passwords you have to remember from dozens (maybe hundreds!) down to one. With strong encryption and an easy interface, this app will keep all your passcodes, account numbers, and sensitive data under lock and key, but right in your pocket. (Free)
Tracknburn
While you’re hard at work, don’t forget about getting your health in ship-shape, too! Put your diet and exercise routine in order with this all-in-one fitness app. Track your weight, calories, and work-outs with a tap. The app even includes a database of restaurant menu calories, for when you’re eating on the go. You’ll be ready for summer in no time!
Screen Cleaner
And, finally, a “screen cleaning” app for your iPhone that will set a puppy of your choice licking away at the grime that collects on your screen. How cute is that? (Free)

Good luck with your Spring Cleaning!

pii2011 (privacy identity innovation): Round Two!

Posted by lunaweb on April 6, 2011 No Responses »

pii PanelLast year, when “privacy” was the word on everyone’s lips (mainly thanks to Facebook), the Bay Area’s Natalie Fonseca and  Marc Licciardi decided to bring all the concerns to one table. They organized the first Privacy Identity Innovation conference (pii2010), which drew together thought leaders and stakeholders in the privacy multi-sphere to explore some of the hardest questions of the Information Age.

Now, in 2011, though some of the hype and hysteria about privacy has slightly cooled, the core issues surrounding the protection of our information are still crucial and fluid. That’s why we’re so psyched to see what will come from pii2011. (Admittedly, we’re also excited because some of LunaWeb’s photos from pii2010 are used for this year’s site!)

Registration is now open for the event on May 19 and 20 in Silicon Valley, and will feature speakers from Google, CBS News, Stanford Law, Microsoft, Wired – the gambit, basically. Check out the full list of speakers here.

A pre-conference reception and dinner salon will be held May 18 that pii2011 is co-hosting with the team from Techdirt at www.techdirt.com. A separate ticket is required, but well worth it!.

If you stick around another day, there’s a PrivacyCamp on the 21st, and the cost is included in your ticket to the conference! You may just see us there – LunaWeb has been invited to cover the event again this year! Visit pii2011.com for full details.
