See What's Popular on the Web In One Page
June 3, 2009 at 1:41 pm

OurSignal is an interesting visualization that shows the current most popular stories from Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Hacker News and Yahoo! Buzz in one page.

Most Popular Tech Stories on the Web

The font size in the visualization is relative to the popularity of a story (bigger means more popular) while colors denote the trend - warm colors mean that story is increasing in popularity while cool colors indicate that the story is sliding off the charts.

What’s useful about OurSignal is that it auto-hides headlines of all stories that you may previously read in the browser. It does so by matching the web address of stories against URLs stored in your browser history and if there’s a match, it means that you’ve visited that link before and so it’s not shown in the the visualization map.

Stories on the OurSignal page are refreshed every 15 minutes so this could do as an interesting screensaver as well.

Test Your Web Pages in Different Browsers with Adobe Browser Lab
June 3, 2009 at 3:57 am

Adobe BrowserLab is a new online service that will help you test the layout of your web pages across a variety of web browsers and operating systems.

Comparing web design in Firefox 3.0 & IE 7.0

You can use the Browser Lab service to view the design of your site in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on both Mac and Windows. BrowserLab works by taking screen shots of your web pages in different browsers on different platforms and then displays these screenshot images side by side for easy comparison.

Though the service doesn’t support Chrome, Opera and some Linux specific browsers, the advantage is that there’s no waiting time and it also offers skinning so you can place renderings one over the other to quickly spot the differences.

Skinning superimposes one screen shot over another

BrowserLab can integrate with Dreamweaver CS4 so you can test web page designs from within the WYSIWYG HTML editor without having to publish pages on to an external web server.
