Basic Web Tools

I had to post something like this to help other readers get familiarized with certain applications and tools available online. Let’s start with Twitter.

This is basically a social networking service that sends text-based posts to update the user’s status and be displayed on a particular site or blog. People who have signed up to receive updates on a particular user are the only ones who can see these updates. Updates can be received instantly after the update is delivered via the service’s website, instant messaging, and even via SMS. Updates depend on the location of the user and receivers.

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.
