Spinlets is an interesting new service for bloggers. According to spinlets.com it doesn’t require any technical knowledge – no plugins or downloads. You add your Flick pictures or YouTube video to a spinlet. The spinlet then gives you a HTML-code that you paste onto your blog or site. The selected media is then automatically embedded into your blog or webpage.
Spinlets is still a closed beta, but I’ve written to them, so hopefully I can show you some screenshots very soon.
Another new site ,which is still in alpha test, is TestFreaks. The goal of TestFreaks is to become the largest review and product database featuring consumer electronic reviews from all over the world. The reviews will be collected from the usual review sites and from bloggers.
Right now they are looking for people to help them develop the site. Not technically, well…maybe…but more in terms of what categories are you interested in, what should TestFreaks feature and what is your favourite review site. They have already promised video reviews and unboxing pictures. Personally I’m a sucker for reviews. I never buy anything before I’ve read a couple of those, so hopefully TestFreaks will make it easier to find reviews. If you want to help them develop the site sign up here.
