Cool Websites #7

ZoomText user Kathy Kalaluhi sent
in a bunch of websites that she thought other ZoomText users would find interesting and helpful.  We liked the idea so much that it’s become a regular “column” in ZoomNews!  Below are her suggestions and if you’d like to submit any websites for the next issue, please email them to Becca at !

• Pick & Zip - a web app that allows you to download photo albums or multiple pictures from Facebook in a zip or pdf file. You can select friends’ profiles, groups, or pages you like and either select individual pictures or select all for download. 
• Open Signal Maps - this site allows you to locate cell towers and signal strengths for cell phone connection or wifi near your home or work.  It’s in beta but it will configure the map to correspond to the information you are seeking i.e. cell phone strength, cell tower locations, or wifi. 
• DocuSign - a legal site for uploading contracts for digital signatures.  Legal in the sense that contracts signed on this site are legally bound.  Faster than faxing or mailing via snail mail.  Good for small businesses etc.  Saves on paper and printing costs. 

And a new category of sorts:  “Best fruits in the orchard” - the best Mac apps for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad!

• Find My iPhone - an app for finding your phone should you misplace it, lose it or have it stolen.  When activated, it will sound an alarm.  Should it be stolen, you can either lock the phone or delete all the content on the phone from remote location.
• Wacom Bamboo Paper - an app for handwritten notes or sketches for note taking.  Notes made using this app can be sent via email.
• Skype - Skype is now available for the iPhone for video conference calls.
• FlightTrack - app for the month in September issue of Smart Computing.  It’s also available for Android based phones.  It provides up to the minute information on airlines and airports around the globe.  For the premium package, it will provide you with terminal maps for airports as well as weather reports.  Will also alert you for any scheduling changes for your flights up to a year in advance.
• FiLMiC Pro - an app for $2.99 that allows for film editing from your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

Thanks to Kathy for these great suggestions!
