Tagul - Gorgeous tag cloud creator

Tagul is an online tag cloud creator for your website or blog.

All that you have to do is log in to
tagul.com
You need to sign up here but it is absolutely free and least painful as it doesn't ask for anything other than your username and email.

Once you sign up, you get your password to your mail. Use the password and log in at tagul.com/login. Once you're done, just
1. Enter the URL. Tags will be retrieved automatically from this URL.
2. Select the shape of the cloud.
3. Select the font styles required to be in cloud.
4. Select the varied angles that you would like to see in clouds.
5. Select the colors for the tags.
6. Built it.

Now go to the preview option and see the preview. If you're done, then go to Finalize option and get the code that you can embed.

Here's a snapshot of a sample tag cloud that I created.

It is a Circular Cloud with 5 randomly selected fonts and angles being 0, 45 and 90 degs. Didn't bother to change the color and other design options which you can check out.

Sample tag cloud for RacingInfinity (only a snapshot)
You can see more samples here in their Tagul website.

Screenr - Online Screen Recorder

Screenr is an online screen recorder tool which can be used to record the desktop, upload and share it online. This tool is mostly useful for those who often have the hobby of creating video tutorials and upload them. 

Screenr is a very simple tool, with very intuitive controls. No signup or download required and it works right from your browser and operates on any platform but requires java to be installed on the system. Screenr even reads the microphone of your computer. 

Go to 
orbs.com

Then click on the record desktop.



Set the size of the frame that requires to be recorded. And then click the red button to record. 



And then when you're done, press Alt + D or just click the stop button. Now you can share the screen cast by tweeting it or manually using the link. 


The only disadvantage and the major drawback of Screenr is that it cannot record anything for more than 5 minutes. 

Hope that was helpful. Stay tuned on Racing Infinity for more interesting stuff.
