Free online Word Count Tool

http://allworldphone.com/count-words-characters.htm for counting words and characters.

Now that I have set up my Twitter account to automatically update from my blog posts I find myself trying to be aware of the character limit.  This online tool is very handy if you are in the same situation and don't want your Twitter updates cutting off part way through!

SnapaShot Screenshot Tool

http://nicekit.com/screen-capture/best-free-snapshot.htm great PC screen capture tool. Unfortunately my free trial with Screenshot Studio is over so I have been trying to find a suitable replacement. This tool is not very sophitsticated but that makes it very easy to use. Save the SnapaShot new version which downloads in a zipped file and once you've extracted just double click to use! Very handy for capturing straight to jpeg format to upload onto the web.
