Some new Web 2 tools
I'm sure that Doink is not a new discovery for some of you but here is a lovely new animation tool that is free and easy to use and embed on your website, bog or wiki.
Tyrannosaurus by Terik, made at DoInk.com
The creator says this about his animation "A new kind of tyrannosaur called Yutyrannus huali has recently been discovered, and it was covered from head to toe with downy feathers, making it much more likely that T. rex was also covered in feathers. (It still would have been much too heavy to fly, though.) The idea of the scariest predator of all time being soft and fluffy was just perfect for this FND"

Story Bird
Storybird is a fab web 2 application that uses collaborative storytelling to connect people. You can create your own stories or create a Storybird in a round robin fashion by writing your own text and inserting pictures, then pass it on to a friend! You then have the option of sharing your Storybird privately or publicly on the network. The final product can be printed, watched on screen, played with like a toy, or shared through a worldwide library.
What’s more it is simple to begin the collaboration fun. Someone starts a Storybird by writing a few words or grabbing a few images. Then the next person takes a turn, adding more words and pictures, once you have finished you can share the Storybird. All this can be done sitting side-by-side or across the country from each other. I have tried to write my own, but I am yet to try the collaboration element. Here is one I stole earlier!
