Nifty if you use gmail a lot and get a lot of mail that is along the same lines, gmail now offers canned responses. Or standard replies. You can make as many as you want, and for the truly lazy you can even combine it with filters for totally automated responders. Seeing as I don’t get that much standard mail on my gmail account I can’t think of any personal use for it, but I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who can.
Here we go, tracking 73 sites, and more to be added as I go, my own news site:

I’m still on the lookout for some more proper sites for some of the categories, especially Computer, Music & Pro Blogging. And I still have to add a Gaming category if someone can come up with some decent non-hawker links.

Select an image effect from dozens available, upload your picture and tada, done.

A giant pixelart project that will continue to grow, using google maps code for navigation around the ‘city’. Check it out, not everything submitted is that creative but there are a lot of funny bits in there.
Looks like the only way you can submit something is through the SA forums, that’s a bit of a shame as I’m sure there are a lot more people out there who would like to contribute.
So the official WordPress Theme Directory is finally reopened. Yay.
Now it would be nice if the demo / live preview blog showcased all the features that WordPress offers so we can actually see whether the themes support it.
I want to see subpages (and hell, more than 2 pages), I want to see gallery posts, posts with images left, center and right aligned. I want to see comments, gravatars, block quotes, code blocks, everything!
Another candidate for the ‘some day someone will make something useful with java but not today’ award; wordle.net. Enter an url and it’ll parse all the words, filter out a bunch and present you with an image of word ‘art’, which you can then have endless useless fun with, playing around with the settings and mucking about.
I wish it would parse a bit more then just the recent few entries, as is quite obvious from how big the word Drobo ended up.
Argh, Twitter overload, the Tweets keep coming in from 500+ people and I need some apps to read things more easily.
So here’s a few things I found and will be checking out.

Gotta catch ‘em all!
I’m clicking like mad as a result of the ProBlogger Social Media Love-In. Yesterday I’ve been adding a lot of Facebook people, today I added each and everyone’s Twitter, all 538 of them. Thank god for tabs and middle clicking in Firefox.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this ripples out. Already met some interesting people on both FB & Twitter, still have to work my way through the rest, but I’m really looking forward to seeing the impact this is going to have on all our interactions, is it going to make us visit eachother’s sites more, will new projects be started because of this, and so on…
For now I still have a lot of clicking to do, so for all the ProBloggers out there; hi and welcome!
And for anyone new to the party I’ll re-add my links here:
Twitter
Facebook
Linked In
