TinyGrab Rocks

Recently, I came across TinyGrab while reading Derek Punslalan’s blog, 5THIRTYONE. Simply put – TinyGrab is a screen capture utility that instantly uploads your selection to the Web and then copies an obscure URL to your clipboard for easy sharing. There are a TON of screenshot utilities out there (as well as Snow Leopard’s improved handling of screen captures) but the simple purity of TinyGrab’s approach made it an instant favorite in my daily toolkit. I highly recommend checking it out.

TweepML – all your twitter are belong to us.


We just wrapped a fun little project with the amazing Marcelo Calbucci from Seattle 2.0 called TweepML. Marcelo elequently describes the services as:

A simple explanation: TweepML is a format to share groups of Twitter users. TweepML.org is a service that allows you to create and manage your lists, and also find other interesting lists to follow.

It’s one of those ideas that is just so simple in origin and elegant in excecution that you can’t help but love it. We don’t do a lot of community projects like this at Design Commission, but it was a lot of fun for us and we hope to keep evolving TweepML.org as its community grows.

Feel free to follow along with the Design Commission crew at TweepML.
