WEB CROPS WEEKLY


2010 Calender Week 11, March 8th

This site lists the Internet resources, software, search engines etc. which the author finds the most useful. The idea is to present with a short description only the arguably very best findings in various categories. The criteria for inclusion are:

  • Usability


  • Free availability (only freeware, where downloads are concerned)


  • Ease of handling (no IT expertise required)

The Internet will be continuously monitored for new developments, but of the hundreds of findings within a week only a few, if none at all for individual weeks may be included here.

This week's crops:

Type: Google Online Tool Type: Online Tool Type: Website / Database Type: Website Type: Online Tool
Google Translation Buttons RatesFX - Currency Converter Perseus Digital Library Rembrandt Van Rijn - The complete Works Info Sniper
...which are really bookmarklets to drag to the bookmarks toolbar for starting an instant translation of a highlighted text into one of the 53 languages offered in this table. While there are a number of currency converters to be found on the Internet, this one distinguishes itself from the others by a feature much appreciated: a bookmarklet generator for conversions from one chosen currency to another. Just like in the previous entry the bookmarklet should be dragged to the bookmarks toolbar and then a highlighted text, like a price in an online catalog can be converted by a single click on the bookmarklet. Having many bookmarklets on the toolbar may be confusing. A folder with a limited number might be the better solution. Here are assembled online classical texts with emphasis on Greek and Roman literature, history and philosophy. There are also images of archeological sites. The pages are maintained by Tufts University. This site contains the biography and a gallery of the works of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, the Dutch Baroque painter. Images can be zoomed in to about 700 x 500 pixels. This Geolocation Service will give details for a submitted IP address like city, provider, host and a map of choice from Google, Windows Live (should be renamed Bing)and Yahoo. It would be useful, when in doubt about visting or ordering from a website, epecially, if details are not fully available.
