POPSOnline graphics generators for your site: roundup Pete Cashmore of Mashable posts a roundup of tools for automating the design of your site. Emphasis is on sleek CSS layouts, pale gradients, and faux-3D reflection effects, so you get a nice Web 2.0 look overall. Can't imagine I'd ever need to use this, but I think I will probably get stuck redesigning my department's website, so ... maybe I will after all.

POPSSearchles: social search Apparently there's some buzz about this service. I don't quite understand what it does yet. It combines bookmarking, social networking, and search so you can depend on trusted results. Apparently.

POPSSocial media in the classroom I'm not sure if this is just cheerleading for web 2.0, but some of the ideas look promising. Don't know if they'd work out in practice. From Nov. 2005.

POPSFor EVERYBODY: FF extension like click2zap on steroids Handy extension that functions like an expanded version of click2zap (now renamed MyPage). Quick and snappy. Activate the extension, move your mouse over the page, and you have the ability to make elements disappear for tidy printing, debug code, change colors, etc. from the keyboard. I just discovered that it lacks one important piece of functionality, though ... you can't select multiple elements simultaneously.
