Want to include some charts or graphs on your website easily? Trying to embed an Excel file or use HTML is not very user-friendly.

I have to admit, there are a few Facebook apps that I really like and use quite often! However, there are also those many, many apps that I installed because someone sent me an invitation or I was just too stupid to try it. Either way, those apps can become really annoying really fast with their useless notifications and emails. Read this post on how to remove any unwanted Facebook apps!
Looking for a job? Need to create a professional-looking resume quickly? CeeVee is a cool service that lets you create a resume by choosing from their many themes and lets you share it across your social network. You can make your resume public or private and save it as a PDF.
Do you have a huge high-resolution LCD screen at home? If you do, you probably can use all those extra pixels more effectively. WinSplit Revolution is a small program that lets you organize open windows on your desktop by resizing, positioning and tilting.
Using the program, you can easily create a 3×3, 4×4 or whatever size grid on your desktop and “snap” open programs into the grid. It’s a good solution if you don’t have dual monitors or don’t like virtual desktop managers.
