Go2Web20 is a website that can help you find web tools easier. This website is categorized making it even easier and more time efficient.
Some interesting tools I found were picnik, which is a photo editor it had a ton of cool effects, frames and the essential tools you would want out of a photo editing website.
Another tool I found was Free Twitter Designer this is a website you could utilize to create your own personal background for twitter. It allows you to pick a theme, and then add shapes, texts, or images. It also allows you to export it straight to twitter.

Fire Fox Extensions/Add ons
The browser Fire Fox also allows users to use add ons, these add ons range in a lot of different categories: Games and entertainment, Appearances and themes, Feeds news and blogging, Social communications and many others. The purpose of add ons is to make it easy and more time efficient to get where you want to be by putting these websites or tools all in one place for you. I added a few games and a tool that would allow me to change the font of what I am typing. I also added a tool that would make the screen behind my open browser go dim, this would be great for watching videos on my desktop.
Fox Fire Personas
Fox Fire offers you the choice to add a theme to there browser of your choice. This is called a persona. A persona is basically the top part of your browser. There is a ton of choices you could choose to decorate your browser there is anything from holiday themes to cartoon characters to auras.

ArtPad
Tech Web 2 is a website listing a few web tools you could use while online. After visiting the website I went to artPad through a link on the left. ArtPad was very basic and easy to use. You can change the brush size, the color, and the opacity (Darkness, lightness) of the brush. Everything is very easy to figure out. You start from scratch to with out having to go through anything making it quick and easy to get started. The website also allows you to type out a text. But the coolest thing about the website is it allows you to re-watch what you have just painted you can also go to the gallery and watch others paintings. ArtPad is a very easy, time efficient online art tool.

FotoFelxer
FotoFlexer is also an online photo editing website. Like the others it offers many different effects. All though it did not have as many effects as some of the other websites we went over in class I thought it was very organized and easy to create pictures. One neat thing about the website is it allows you to edit pictures they already have set up for you but if you would rather you could still edit your own pictures. FotoFlexer is a neat website.
PiZap
PiZap is another online photo editing tool you could use. This website is similar to the others allowing you to put an affect on the picture. One thing that really makes this website stick out is that it allow you to add a funny face to a picture. You can choose eyes, mouth, hair and random objects you could put into the picture. Other things you can do on this website is create a border, you can use the cut out tool, and you can add in a text box. PiZap can help you create a very funny picture.

Bloggif
Photos I created on Bloggif!
Bloggif is a website that you could edit a photo on, add an effect, create a collage and can to do many other neat things. One of my favorite effects was the splash of color, it would turn your picture grey and you could select areas to add color too. I used this effect in my top right picture. You can even create a video out of pictures on Bloggif.
