Three for Thursday - Nov 13

Reposting this today because it didn't go live yesterday... so enjoy.

First up is Minggle which the really smart Jason Falls posted about recently. Like other multi-platform update tools, Minggle pulls all your various fees into one place and gives you the ability to post to all platforms in a single update. What I think is really nice though is Minggle gives you an option to selectively update. So for instance, if I'm about to do a marketing talk for a conference and I want to notify everyone, I can post that to LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter with one update. But if I just want to post a business update (mabye winning a new client) on LinkedIn I can do that too and it won't post to FB and Twitter. 

Second up is Readability. Earlier this week I commented on Twitter that it would be really cool if blogs had a "format for printing" button on each post so that I could just print a good post (especially longer ones) to read later. Luckily Mark Wanczack saw my tweet and shared Readability with me. It's a simple plug in for your browser. Get to any web page that you want to format for offline printing, click on the Readability button and presto, formatted for printing version. You can even set the type size, margins, etc. Very cool little tool. 

And lastly, another one from Mr. Falls -- StreamThatCause.com. This is a great, innovative way for non-profits, churches, or school groups to raise money. A very web 2.0 update to the standard selling of candy, wrapping paper, etc. But instead of explaining the whole thing, I'd prefer you just pop over and read for yourself. Great concept and I'm sure you or someone you know can use this service for good.

Let me know what you think folks. And if you have a great idea or you've found a really cool tool/site that you think my readers would like, please let me know in the comments, via twitter @TomMartin or email me. Link up there under my pic.
