XtraNormal
XtraNormal
A free web 2.0 tool that allows you to make your own 3d animated movies. You select the scene, you pick your characters, you write the script, you and effects, sound, animation,etc. You can edit your movie by rendering it as you go along. When you are finished and you tell it it's a wrap it post the movie to your xtranormal account and gives you the embed code so you can share.
Below is my first attempt.

Drop.io
Drop.io is a neat site. It allows you to upload files you would like to share with others or with your self. It will allow you to upload almost all formats. Once there you can make the documents private or allow them to be viewed by anyone.
The feature which I like the most is the phone recording. With each account you receive a phone number and an access code. Once you call, yo can make a recording and it is posted to your account as an MP3. You can then listen to it there, download the MP3 or even embed it as I am doing below.
