You can use the site for an instant website check for age rating. It will tell you whether a website is appropriate for minors.

ClockEasy: Embedabble Clock Generator

October 1st, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Blog Tips, Design

clockeasyClockEasy is a web app that lets you generate a clock and countdown timer. If for some reason you wish to place a clock or in need of a countdown timer for a special event, this tool will let you easily create and embed a digital clock on your website.

This simple tool has simple features. You are allowed to easily customize your clock by simply selecting from several dropdown options for the widget. You can set font styles, font sizes, color, border color, width and padding for the clock and a few more added settings for the countdown timer. When you’re done and satisfied with your settings, just hit the generate button and it will display the preview of the clock/timer that you have created. Get the code and embed it on your website.

The ClockEasy site also functions as an alarm clock and has a chronometer that you can use. Both features can be used on the site only. Embedding is not possible for the two features because I really don’t see the point in embedding an alarm clock on your websites unless you want to startle a user who happens to make a visit on the set alarm time.

ClockEasy, like the name says is easy, simple and a direct to the point application. There are no special features to configure and no sign-up needed in order to use the service. Simply generate your clock and embed it on your site. That’s it.

September 25th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Blog Tips, Technology

sealtaleSealTale is a social networking tool that allows you to share your interests, inclinations and preference through seal-like badgets. It’s a means to express your online identity by attaching seals to your blog. The process is similar to placing small icons of the social networking sites and blog promotion tools on your blog but in a more gadget-like manner. You’ll also be able to express what you are supporting such as campaigns, political issues and activities that you enjoy doing.

Sealtale is a new-concept SNS, in which the users can meet and network with other users who have similar interests and inclinations.

Our service’s name is composed of Seal (New-concept networking medium) and Tale (Stories told by the users) that form Seal:Tale Seal We, Sealtale, strive to become the medium that connects and weaves together all the one-person media on the Web.

You can create your own seal by placing your blog logo or any image that you want. Adding your interests is as easy as adding icons that relate to the activities, websites and favorite things on earth. Once you have glued your seal to your blog, you can simply seat back and social network through the service.

Sealtale provides two major services. The Tale service or the related postings service functions by filtering RSS tags and selects the postings that are related to the Seal the user has glued on his/her blog or social networking page. The postings are automatically updated to the Tale menu of Sealbook. It’s like an automated social networking service that is updated as you post on your blog or personal social page.

Another purpose of the widget is in the form of advertising. You can easily extend your reach by joining the community and making your contributions available everywhere. If it is related to other postings then they will surely appear on their seal tale.

The application has several more features that can only be explained if you actually use it. For whatever purpose you have on using the service, I’m sure that you’ll find the service quite interesting. It’s a new breed of social networking widget that seems to outdate services like BlogCatalog and the like. Its feature rich, informative and it looks great. Glue a seal now to find out.
