Picnik, which has already begun to get some traction as the primary editing tool for Flickr has teamed up with Photobox, another large photo host in the United Kingdom.

Photobox is about a fifth of the size of Flickr in active users, and the two have very different services. Photobox provides 1,000MB of storage and gives users more space each time they order prints while Flickr operates on a paid premium membership that requires a yearly subscription of $25.

Also starting today Picnik users will be able to print their shots using QOOP which lets you print your photos on items such as coffee mugs, posters, and T-shirts.

iFob, developed by Montana’s iCloseby and available for the iPhone, the iPod touch and laptop computers, attempts to bridge a gap between social networks and the real world. iFob sends out a “homing beacon” at wireless hotspots like coffee shops, alerting other users that you’re nearby and receptive to socializing.

Two Missoula, Mont., entrepreneurs have launched software for the iPhone, iPod touch and laptop computers that upends the conventional sense of social networking. Unlike online dating and friendship Web sites where connections are made in cyberspace, the software’s goal is moving people from virtual relationships into real ones.

Here is my list of my favorite web tools 1st of all mozilla firefox as my browser. For me it’s much easier to used and according in one of a magazine I read, on there research it is much stable than internet explorer 8 maybe because IE 8 is still in it’s beta version. Next my web pages editor , I pick dreamweaver because of it’s features and it’s easier to understand and you don’t need too much hand coding. 3rd my search engine, I use google search because some search engine only gives you another search engine as there result. Then www.google.com does not have that much details to load. Less details less time to wait. 4th swiss max like flash it a cool and easy to learn plus the design and the features are all awesome. 5th download accelerator this thing shorten the time of download by increasing the download rate.
