Share images online with Pasteboard
Share images online with Pasteboard (pasteboard.co). Either ‘drag and drop’ or ‘copy and paste’ the image you want to upload. You also have the option of cropping the image. Upload and you’ll receive a URL where the image can be accessed. It will only upload one image at a time – but it still looks like a useful and simple-to-use tool.

It’s a quick and easy way to share info on the web. It removes Ads, Navigation and other junk. You can also manually edit parts of the page, so you keep only the bits you want.
In our May issue …
Looking for an online whiteboard? There are several around but RealtimeBoard (realtimeboard.com) looks like one that’s worth exploring. It operates in your browser and also offers real-time collaboration for users. The controls are fairly intuitive to use and you can upload images from your computer or by its web address.
Coming in our July issue …
Coming out mid Term 2, we’ll be featuring some great tools in our July issue’s File Share section. These include UTellStory, TUZZit, Linoit, ZooBurst, and Dispostable. UTellStory (utellstory.com) is a multimedia story telling platform where users can tell stories and share topics using audio, video, images and text.
