SPOTPLEX

Spotplex is an online content aggregation service that provides an instant, impartial ranking of popular
news articles. Differently than with competitor Digg, Spotplex users are not required to change their
behavior to generate content rankings. By eliminating tagging and voting, Spotplex more accurately
reflects what people read most today. Digg and many other social news sites do a reasonable to good
job of displaying the most popular news articles of the day, but what they do best is uncover the most
interesting content rather than the most read.An algorithm-based measuring system analyzes readers'
behavior in real time to generate Spotplex's popular content rankings. Popular content is derived by
aggregating the most read articles on sites that include Spotplex's javascript (copies of this code is
available to the public). This impartial process gives every blogger a fair opportunity to be heard.
Spotplex also uses a relative popularity measure by which article reads are measured relative to a site's
overall traffic, rather than by volume alone. This evens the playing field so all blogs can compete equally
in the Spotplex rankings, regardless of readership size or subject matter. Competitors within the news
aggregation area can be found [here] it is now "under construction.
 Adobe Fireworks
Adobe Fireworks (formerly Macromedia Fireworks) is a discontinued bitmap and vector
graphics editor, which Adobe acquired in 2005. Fireworks is made for web designers for rapidly
creating website prototypes and application interfaces. Its features include slices and the ability
to add hotspots. It is designed to integrate with other Adobe products such as Adobe
Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash. It is available as either a standalone product or bundled with
Adobe Creative Suite. Previous versions were bundled with Macromedia Studio.

On May 6, 2013, Adobe announced that Fireworks would be phased out, citing the increasing
overlap in functionality with its other products such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and
Adobe Edge. Adobe will continue to provide security updates and perhaps bug fixes for the
current version of Fireworks, but does not plan to add any new features beyond what is in
Fireworks CS6.[1]

User interface

Fireworks' user interface is consistent with the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, similar to that of
Adobe Photoshop. On macOS, it is possible to display the application in multiple document
interface mode or the standard viewing mode where all toolbars float freely on the screen.

Features
Hierarchical layers

All the layers can be accessed from the Layers panel. Layers may be wider or taller than the
image itself. However, the final image is produced by hiding those areas that exit image
boundary.

 Adobe Dreamweaver
Adobe Dreamweaver is a proprietary web development tool developed by Adobe Systems.
Dreamweaver was created by Macromedia in 1997,[1] and was maintained by them until
Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2005.[2]

Adobe Dreamweaver is available for macOS and for Windows.

Following Adobe's acquisition of the Macromedia product suite, releases of Dreamweaver

subsequent to version 8.0 have been more compliant with W3C standards. Recent versions have
improved support for Web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, and various server-side
scripting languages and frameworks including ASP (ASP JavaScript, ASP VBScript, ASP.NET
C#, ASP.NET VB), ColdFusion, Scriptlet, and PHP

Features

Adobe Dreamweaver CC is a web design and development application that combines a visual
design surface known as Live View and a code editor with standard features such as syntax

 PhotoDisc
PhotoDisc, Inc. based in Seattle, was a publisher of digital stock photography free of royalties. It
was founded in 1991 by Tom Hughes, Mark Callaghan and Mark Torrance, who later became
the chief executive officer and chairman.[1] After receiving the catalog in the mail, customers
would write or phone the office and order the photos or pre-made collections by charter artists
Clement Mok[citation needed] or Nick Koudis[citation needed] which would then be shipped to them on
CD-ROM. In the fall of 1995, their website was launched[2] making business more convenient as
it was no longer necessary to wait for shipping as photos could be downloaded directly from the
website, the catalog option was still available, though. In September 1997, PhotoDisc agreed to
combine with London-based Getty Communications to form the Seattle-based Getty Images.[3] In
February 1998, at the closure of the acquisition, PhotoDisc's library amounted to 60,000 images.[
 DeKnop
DeKnop (dutch for "The Button") is a graphics editor that is designed to let you create buttons for your
web site without requiring any graphic design experience.

It provides an easy to use step-by-step interface that lets you select the text, font style, color, 3D bevel,
size, gradients and many other aspects.

You can preview any changes that you make as it takes place, so it is easy to experiment a little until you
decide on a design you like.

Button images can be saved in PNG, JPG, BMP or GIF format. DeKnop also supports projects, allowing
you to save your work and continue on it later or reuse it for other jobs.
DeKnop is a card ware button manager.
 Mapedit

Mapedit is an imagemap-editing program. Mapedit adds client-side imagemaps to web pages, simply
by opening the page, selecting the image, and drawing rectangles, polygons and other shapes. There is
no easier way to make an imagemap, and zoom support allows easy detail work on large images.
 Adobe Shockwave Player
Adobe Shockwave Player (formerly Macromedia Shockwave Player) is a freeware software
plug-in for viewing multimedia and video games in web pages, content created on the Adobe
Shockwave platform. Content is developed with Adobe Director and published on the Internet.
Such content can be viewed in a web browser on any computer with the Shockwave Player plug-
in installed. It was first developed by Macromedia, and released in 1995 and was later acquired
by Adobe Systems in 2005.[2]

Shockwave Player runs DCR files published by the Adobe Director environment. Shockwave
Player supports raster graphics, basic vector graphics, 3D graphics, audio, and an embedded
scripting language called Lingo.[3][4] Hundreds of free online video games were developed using
Shockwave, and published on websites such as Miniclip and Shockwave.com.[5]

As of July 2011, a survey found that Flash Player had 99% market penetration in desktop
browsers in "mature markets" (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany,
Japan, Australia, and New Zealand), while Shockwave Player claimed only 41% in these
markets.[6] As of 2015, Flash Player is a suitable alternative to Shockwave Player, with its 3D
rendering capabilities and object-oriented programming language. Flash Player cannot display
Shockwave content, and Shockwave Player cannot display Flash conten

Platform support

Shockwave is available as a plug-in for the classic Mac OS, macOS, and Windows for most of
its history. However, there was a notable break in support for the Macintosh between January
2006 (when Apple Inc. released AppleIntel transition based on the Intel Core Duo) and March
2008 (when Adobe Systems released Shockwave 11, the first version to run natively on Intel
Macs).

Unlike Flash Player, Shockwave Player is not at all available for Linux or Solaris despite intense
lobbying efforts. However, the Shockwave Player can be installed on Linux with CrossOver or
by running a Windows version of a supported browser in Wine (with varying degrees of
success). It is also possible to use Shockwave in the native Linux version of Firefox by using the
Pipelight plugin, which is based on a modified version of Wine.
 CorelDRAW
CorelDraw (styled CorelDRAW) is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel
Corporation. It is also the name of Corel's Graphics Suite, which bundles CorelDraw with bitmap-image
editor Corel Photo-Paint as well as other graphics-related programs (see below). The latest version is
marketed as Graphics Suite 2017 (equivalent to version 19), and was released in April 2017. CorelDraw is
designed to edit two-dimensional images such as logos and posters.

n 1987, Corel hired software engineers Michel Bouillon and Pat Beirne to develop a vector-based
illustration program to bundle with their desktop publishing systems. That program, CorelDraw, was
initially released in 1989. CorelDraw 1.x and 2.x ran under Windows 2.x and 3.0. CorelDraw 3.0 came
into its own with Microsoft's release of Windows 3.1. The inclusion of TrueType in Windows 3.1
transformed CorelDraw into a serious illustration program capable of using system-installed outline
fonts without requiring third-party software such as Adobe Type Manager; paired with a photo-editing
program (Corel Photo-Paint), a font manager and several other pieces of software, it was also part of the
first all-in-one graphics suite.
 Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems for
macOS and Windows.

Photoshop was created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, it has become the de
facto industry standard in raster graphics editing, such that the word "photoshop" has become a
verb as in "to Photoshop an image," "photoshopping" and "photoshop contest", though Adobe
discourages such use.[5] It can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and supports
masks, alpha compositing and several color models including RGB, CMYK, CIELAB, spot color
and duotone. Photoshop has vast support for graphic file formats but also uses its own PSD and
PSB file formats which support all the aforementioned features. In addition to raster graphics, it
has limited abilities to edit or render text, vector graphics (especially through clipping path), 3D
graphics and video. Photoshop's feature set can be expanded by Photoshop plug-ins, programs
developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that can run inside it and offer new or
enhanced features.

Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. However, in October 2002,
following the introduction of Creative Suite branding, each new version of Photoshop was
designated with "CS" plus a number; e.g., the eighth major version of Photoshop was Photoshop
CS and the ninth major version was Photoshop CS2. Photoshop CS3 through CS6 were also
distributed in two different editions: Standard and Extended. In June 2013, with the introduction
of Creative Cloud branding, Photoshop's licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a
service rental model and the "CS" suffixes were replaced with "CC". Historically, Photoshop was
bundled with additional software such as Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Bridge,
Adobe Device Central and Adobe Camera RAW.

Alongside Photoshop, Adobe also develops and publishes Photoshop Elements, Photoshop
Lightroom, Photoshop Express and Photoshop Touch. Collectively, they are branded as "The
Adobe Photoshop Family". It is currently a licensed software.
 Buttonmania

How to play

Click on one of the buttons in the playing field to subtract 1 from that button's value as well as
from the values of the 4 surrounding ones. In this game subtracting one from nought results in 3.
The objective is to set all buttons to 0.

For example a click on the 2 in the middle:

0 3

123 will change the values on the buttons to: 0 1 2

2 1

Information

As soon as you click on "New", a new game starts. The score starts counting down from 1000.
The quicker you finish, the higher your score will be. "Undo" and "Hint" as well as using more
clicks than the current difficulty setting requires will all make you lose points.
 FeedBurner

FeedBurner is a web feed management provider launched in 2004.[1] FeedBurner was founded by Dick
Costolo, Eric Lunt, Steve Olechowski, and Matt Shobe. Costolo is a University of Michigan graduate, and
was CEO of Twitter from 2010 to 2015. FeedBurner provides custom RSS feeds and management tools
to bloggers, podcasters, and other web-based content publishers.

Services

Services provided to publishers include traffic analysis[2] and an optional advertising system.
Though it initially was not clear whether advertising would be well-suited to the RSS format,[3]
authors now choose to include advertising in two-thirds of FeedBurner's feeds.[4] Users can find
out how many people have subscribed to their feeds and with what service/program they
subscribed.

Published feeds are modified in several ways, including automatic links to Digg and del.icio.us,
and "splicing" information from multiple feeds.[5] FeedBurner is a typical Web 2.0 service,
providing web service application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow other software to
interact with it. As of October 5, 2007, FeedBurner hosted over a million feeds for 584,832
publishers, including 142,534 podcast and videocast feed
 KompoZer
KompoZer is an open source WYSIWYG HTML editor based on the now-discontinued Nvu
editor. KompoZer is maintained as a community-driven fork, and is a project on Sourceforge.

KompoZer's WYSIWYG editing capabilities are one of the main attractions of the software. In
addition, KompoZer allows direct code editing as well as a split code-graphic view.

The current pre-release is KompoZer 0.8 beta 3, released February 2010, using Gecko 1.8.1. The
stable version was 0.7.10, released in August 2007. The only regular developer said in June 2011
that development "is stalled at the moment".[1]

Standards compliance

KompoZer complies with the W3C's web standards. By default, pages are created in accordance
to HTML 4.01 Strict and use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for styling, but the user can change
the settings and choose between:

Strict and transitional DTD's

HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0
CSS styling or the old <font> based styling.

The application can call on the W3C HTML validator, which uploads pages to the W3C Markup
Validation Service and checks for compliance.
