Geneio is a service that installs on your computer and analyzes your current web history to determine content that interests you. A few minutes after installing, it determines your preferences and generates a homepage which is tailored to your interests. The thing I like about Geneio is that you do not need to spend any time 'training' it. Once you install it, it uses your past web history to determine the types of articles and topics that you are already interested in, and I've found it to be fairly accurate.

Here are some great (and alarming) web tools for students to use

Just with a few basic functions such as: Resize, Crop, Rotate, Brightness & Contrast and some special imaging effects: Blur, Polaroid, Oil Paint, etc but this free online photo editor processed over five million pictures since 2008. The advantages of this editor are simple & clean layout with images, no Flash required and many formats exporting with various quality choices.
