TinyPaste sounds similar with TinyURL. TinyURL able to turn long URL into short URL, while TinyPaste able to turn long text into an URL.
Sometimes, when you want to send some message to your freind through MSN, but MSN limits the maximum lengths for each conversation. So, you may need to separate one message into different messages. It is very troublesome and time consuming.
So, TinyPaste may help us as it will store your message in the database, generate a short URL for you. After that, you just send the URL to your friend and they can view the original content through the URL.
TinyPaste will convert the text to Unicode format. so you can use it to store Chinese or even Japanese language text. I think this is really a good idea, but it is even better if user can encrypts the message.

There are a lot of web based photo editing tool, such as Pixlr, Sumo Paint, PhotoShop Express, Picnik, and etc. These application required no installation, and cross-platform. As long as you have Flash plugin installed and an internet enabled PC, you can use them.
Dr. Pic is another web based photo editing tool, which doesn’t require Flash plugin – It use AJAX!
There are a lot of things that you can do with this AJAX photo editing tool, for example resize, crop, rotate, brush, sharpen, oil paint, and etc. After editing the image, you can save it as jpg, bmp, gif, and png format. You may also choose the quality of the saved image.
It is useful if you use a computer which doesn’t install Flash plugin. But since Dr. Pic using AJAX, i believe some old browser like IE5 may not rander it well. So ,you better use a modern browser like Firefox 3 or IE7.

Virtual desktops utility will showing the currently active window, while hiding those inactive windows. Application windows are bound to their own virtual desktops so that Windows know which application to show when you switch to different virtual desktops.
