Here are the top three amazing web-apps that I found this week:
1. Jumpshare Let me just say "wow" about Jumpshare. How many times have you tried to share a file with someone and lo and behold they do not have the proper software to view the file? This is especially prevalent nowadays with many people viewing their email on smartphones. Jumpshare can natively view 150 filetypes - that's right, 150. No registration required. I think that is pure genius. So let's say, for example, you send your powerpoint slides over to your client, pre-presentation. By just sending an email with a powerpoint attached, you run the risk of your client not having Microsoft Office installed on their computers. With Jumpshare, you merely share the link and they can view your powerpoint slides within their browser. Even slicker, you can then share the file on social sharing sites. Neat!
2. Branch I don't know much about Branch, but I'm so intrigued by what it is that I thought I would share it. I did request an invite. Since my area of interest has always been online collaboration and learning, Branch got my attention because of the user interface design of conversations. These conversations can then be "branched", to avoid getting off topic. I'm curious what happens next - once I receive an invite, I will be able to write about it then. Check out their video though: http://branch.com/, to see if this is something you may be interested in.
3. OpenCulture - Open Culture is repository of free online educational materials. Free movies, textbooks, language lessons, courses.. you name it, something is here for you. I am always interested in expanding my skill set; if you want a free way to do this online without cost, this website is a must-see.
