Dedicated social networks

Seems like dedicated social networks is getting a lot of attention.
I like http://www.ning.com/. Here you can set up your own network without having to host it yourself.
You can set up groups, add gadgets, upload photos, add events and more…

Web apps – lists

Here I intend to collect a few links to some web apps, that I might want to look at – at some point later.

• http://www.box.net/services/browse
• http://www.google.com/apps/
• http://sites.google.com/site/sites/

Maybe it could be nice to create a spreadsheet with links?

File sharing Web app: Box.net

Just explored a nice place to upload files to:

How to make Tables and Images in WordPress

Tables:

I use copy – paste from MS Excel.

See what others are doing:

http://faq.wordpress.com/?s=tables 

Images:

• Block diagrams: MS Visio. Save as png. Unfortunately WordPress don’t accept svg upload.
  After creation of the graphics then do: File – Page Setup – Paper size – Size to fit drawing content.
• Further advanced vector graphic: Inkscape.
• Raster images: Paint.NET. Good for adding an eclipse and a text to make a callout and to blur an area. Can also do layers.
• Print screen: ImageShack – Quickshot or ScreenHunter.

SVG

Would have saved Visio as SVG, but cannot upload it to WP.

Then I uploaded them to http://sites.google.com/site/rasordk/Home/images

Found a nice place to share SVG on: http://openclipart.org/media/people/rasor

But I cannot show SVG in WP – the tags are removed:

• http://techrageo.us/2007/04/07/php-and-wordpress-svg-basics/

Anyone with a good idea?
