15 tools for monitoring the popularity of a website

1 Mar

If you’re into stats and like to keep a watchful eye on your website you should check out this post on the Six Revisions website.

Jacob Gube has created a list of 15 tools for tracking data on your site.

We all know about Google Analytics, but this list features a bunch of other tools including Compete, Quantcast, popuri.us and TweetVolume.

One not listed is IceRocket Blog Tracker which I really like. Very simple interface and quick results.

Alternatives to Photoshop

1 Mar

If like me you can’t afford Photoshop at home, you should check out some of these alternatives. But perhaps you’ll have better luck than I did.

10 excellent open source and free alternatives to Photoshop.

I’ve used GIMP but it kept crashing my Mac so I gave up. I’ve also used Pixen with much the same results.

I’ve been intrigued by Aviary – not on the Six Revisions link above – but everytime I try to use it my computer becomes so unbearably slow that I navigate away. Sad because Aviary has three tools: Phoenix, an image editor; Peacock, a visual laboratory; and Toucan, colour palettes. When I did manage to use it without tearing my hair out I was annoyed that Phoenix had only a handful of fonts and didn’t allow you to use your own.

Still, I think it’s the best of those I’ve tried.
