Worth checking out.

Chris,
Great list. I would love an invite to a.viary as well! Played around with Dumpr this morning, now I am a bit behind on my work..:)

This is a super silly one, really, but I get asked all the time how to make a favicon (the little picture up in the browser address window) for a webpage/blog. This site just lets you upload your image and it kicks one back to you. I refer people to it all the time.
Skitch is awesome. Changed the way I work with .ppt.

I use Skitch and Picnik and I love them both exponentially. I've never tried a.viary but I've found that Splashup (it's in beta but you don't need an invite) is pretty incredible - it rivals the functionality of photoshop and you can pull in your photos from online photosharing sites.

Oh wow! If you have access to A.viary invites, I would love to check this out. Thanks for the great resources.

You're bang on with Picnik Chris. That's what I recommend (highly) to the b5 bloggers. It does just about everything they need. For the Windows crowd I'd also suggest Paint.net. Awesome free app, it's must install in my toolkit.

Thanks for the neat toys! These will entertain me for a very long time. For a suggestion, I've also used Splashup in the past, and enjoyed it. Your post actually comes at a perfect time, since a co-worker was looking to upgrade her Photoshop 3.0 (Not CS3, 3), w/o spending a fortune. She will love this!

Picnik is pretty sweet--lots of functionality--and for free. (it does have paid options) Its a tad slow...but well worth the wait.
I found it easier to use than Skitch...

Okay, I'm coming late to this party, but how did you do that way cool Rubik's cube-esque graphic? Spill.

Just ignore me. Sheesh. (Dumpr... the site w/ cool photo effects mentioned at the top of your post. Just didn't make the connection.)

If you can swing it, I'd appreciate an A.viary invite. Thank you for this blog: consistently interesting and of good quality. I really like that.

I think 'cloud' working is about the way to go at the moment. My Uni work, and writing is spread over about eight PC's (all also backed up to an external drive) so I love Google Docs, just because I don't need to worry about 'compatibility'. I'm actually considering allowing people to submit (to the ezine I work with) via googledocs, because it's just that good :D

Another one I recommend to client bloggers (who don't own their own photo editing apps), is SnipShot.com.

Thanks for the links! Great info that is very relevant to a couple projects I'm working on.
An invitation to a.viary would be awesome as well.

Is this a paid post

@MR X - not unless you're willing to give me money. : )
Paid post. That would be IZEA down the street.
I don't make a dime off my blog, unless you count the expansion into other opportunities.
Ever tried GIMP? www.gimp.org/ I use the portable app version and take it everywhere with me on my thumbdrive.

Hi again Chris, Catching up on older blog posts and backed up Reader today - would love a chance to use A.viary in beta if it were to become available.

I think it has the best tools for painting purposes and its probably the fastest browser based photo editing software available!
