Turn your Computer Screen into a Drawing Board

GE have developed a fun Macromedia Flash based tool that turns your Screen into a Drawing Board similar to what you have in Corel Painter or Microsoft OneNote. But here you can also invite remote friends to paint the screen with you in real time.

This Internet Whiteboard is called Imagination Cubed. Not only fun, it can also be used for serious things like sharing ideas by drawing, creating mind maps or even website layouts.

The tool turns your mouse into an animated ink pen or brush. You can do freehand drawing or even type on any area of the screen. Your drawing strokes are recorded by the software which you can later replay or share the artistic sketch with friends.

The most impressive feature is "Draw with friends" - You can send an email or IM your friends and they can join you in the same drawing. Excellent while you are doing a brain storming session throught video conferencing on the web.

There's also an Ink meter on the screen - the more you paint or type, the more ink is consumed.

Imagination Cubed can keep you busy and entertained for a long time. Flash Player is required to use this site. It may show some problems with Flash Player 9. There's no way to import existing images or documents.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
