Ever come across a file that won't open and you have no idea what program to use to open it? FILExt is an very handy site that allows you to type in a file extension and lists all programs associated with it. I have been using this site for years and most recently have found it extremely helpful when assisting patrons with mysterious file attachments in their emails. I may not be able to open those attachments for them, but at least I can tell them what program they can use outside the library.

mp4, mov, mkv - What does this all mean?

Google does it again!
I missed one very important site in last month's post on free photo hosting. Google's Picasa also offers a gig of space and allows you to organize your photos in folders. Like most everything with Google, the page is uncrowded and intuitive. If you happen to have a blog on blogger.com, all your photos on the blog are neatly tucked away in a folder. Bravo!
