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.

QuarkBase is a powerful tool, which can “dig” everything about a website. For example, you can get the WHOIS information, traffic ranking, social popularity, total feed readers, and also the blogging platform (if the website that you traing to check is a blog).

To get information about a website, simply provide the domain name and press the “Search” button. I try to search for “techsnack.net” and below is the screenshot of the summary of my blog:

At the rught hand site, it will show you the domain owner, summary of the website, alexa ranking, and also the blogging platform that you are using.
There are also some tabs at the top of the page, which will bring you more details of the website information. For example, the Intro tab will show you the introduction of your blog, your blog description, about and contact page.
The Popular tab will show the social popularity while the Traffic tab will show the details of alexa ranking. The Technical tab shows you the framwork and programming language that had been used to create your website. You may also get hosting information through this tab.
