Many ideas for the blog posts and other related activities are coming from you - readers of this blog. Last week, I got a question on the best free online image editor on the market. Since I knew nothing on the topic, I hold an investigation. The results were inputted as usual to the RateItAll Rating List. The advantage of all online service in their relative independence from the software you are having on your PC and ability to access from any computer. For example, in the middle of the adventure trip, you came to the Internet Cafй in Nairobi, and you want to enhance and to send your top picks to your friends. In this situation, online image editor will be all you need.
The Rating list will present the best online image editors (at the moment this post is written there are 40 list entries), that are already in high demand among bloggers and regular users, interested in sharing their pictures. There is nothing to download or install, as all editing is done via the browser. Set of expected features to be covered: Resizing - Scaling - Rotating - Flipping - Cropping - Adding Text -Adding Clipart - Color Correction - Grayscale - Colorizing - Setting Transparency - Photo Optimization - Reducing File Size - Editing Photo Dimensions, and others. Different services are providing different service offerings, so you might need to keep on your record several complementing sites to cover all spec of your potential needs.

Pandora - Free Customized Internet Radio Station
Pandora is not a newly popped up site, and many people use it for several years. But, it is new for me, so, may be for you too this information is useful. Pandora started in September of 2005 but its real birthday is in 1999 with the "Music Genome Project". This project has been started by a bunch of unemployed musicians, who decided to find a way to share music with each with no restrictions. Now you can create your own radio station based on your search and preferences. To find a new clips, you are even not aware at the moment there is an option to bring you music that is similar to your favorites. If you do not like the track you listened, you can give it a thumb down and you excluded forever from your future music expeditions. You can create as many stations as you want-all for free, with no advertisements.
You do not need any special player to use the site, but note that the dial-up connection is not supported. Registration is not required, as I was able to create The Beatles Radio Station without registering and signing up for the service. However, later, the streaming stopped and Pandora kindly reminded me on the advantages of being a registered user.
In the attached video presentation, the Creator of the Pandora, Tim Westergren, is introducing this nice service to you.
