Send a bunch of links at once.

Here’s a handy tool: Linkbun-ch What is LinkBunch? A web tool to bundle a bunch of links. It condenses multiple URLs into one short address. Quite often I have to send a list of links to someone to review, or a list of links I want to send to myself to remember, and research latter when I have a chance. With LinkBunch, you take a list of links and put them into one “bunch”, which becomes just one single link–which looks like a TinyURL or SnipURL link–and save that one link instead of having find a place to store my list. If you use Firefox there is an extention that will open the list of links in your browser - all tabbed up and ready to review.

Fill out PDF Forms on the web.

Here’s a handy site to help you complete PDF forms online: PDFEscape.com

You can open a PDF Form on your computer (upload) or on the web (enter URL.) This is a very handy service. No need to buy Adobe Acrobat (unless you want to create the original PDF forms.) The tool will also let you add text boxes, arrows and annotate the PDF. That would be handy for a fast and easy way to add notes to a PDF.

The free version lets you complete the form and print it. The premium ($$) version will let you email the form.

You can also setup a PDFescape link to a PDF form on your website that will allow users use this service to complete PDF forms, an interesting feature.

Google Docs - Email to Spreadsheet Feature

Are you familiar with Google Docs? This is Google’s answer to Microsoft Office Suite – web app wordprocessor, Spreadsheet, and more. It’s worth checking out and setting up an account.  A free set of apps to create and store documents online. These are not as powerful as Microsoft Office apps but the are pretty sweet for free.

They just released a feature that I have been talking about for years: Spreadsheet Input via Email. (Think InfoPath .)

Email a form to an email list and the responses are returned to your Google Docs Spreadsheet.

All free. Google will inherit the earth (and then start charging us.)
