TumblrMap is a sitemap generator that allows Tumblr users to enjoy the benefits of having a sitemap on their blogs.
What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is the term used to describe a list of pages of a website that also act as a navigation aid by providing an overview of a site’s/blog’s content in a single page. This allows search engine crawlers/bots and users to easily find pages on a website. Site maps can improve SEO (search engine optimization) of a site by making sure that all the pages are available for search engines. Google, MSN, Yahoo and Ask support the sitemaps protocol.
What TumblrMap does
TumblrMap automatically generates a sitemap containing all the articles published on your Tumbr blog. Users will now have the ability to submit a sitemap to Google directly from TumblrMap’s interface. Once everything is set, all you need to do is take it easy and wait for Google to crawl your site. All of this can be accomplished in just a couple of minutes.

Pictaculous is a unique color palette generator that can be used for different design projects. If you are doing a design that focuses on a particular image, you can use Pictaculous to give you palette recommendations for your color combinations to match a particular image. The service uses ColourLovers and Adobe Kuler to give you the best color combination recommendation available.
To get your color palette, just upload a photo or an image that you want to build a design around with. You can upload pre-existing logos, photos and other images that you are using with your design (PNG, JPG, GIF). The palette generator can also be used to find out the color codes used in an image. You can even use it to extract the color combination used on an existing website. Just take a screenshot of the website, upload it on Pictaculous and see the color codes appear on the palette of the image source along with the color combination suggestions generated by the application.
Whether you are designing a website, brochure or anything that requires you to properly blend colors together around a particular image, Pictaculous will certainly be a great assistance in helping you choose the right colors to use in your next design.
*This application also works with your iPhone.
