Dabble combines the best of group spreadsheets, custom databases, and intranet web applications into a new way to manage and share your information online. You can use Dabble to:
-
Model your business
Choose your own categories of data. Add as many fields as you need. Link to other data. Extend or change the model at any time.
-
Share your data
Access your database from anywhere over the web. Invite your colleagues to browse or edit it. Export to your spreadsheet or to PDF. Keep tabs on changes through your newsreader or your calendar.
-
Explore your data
Search through your data instantly. Navigate via links and backlinks. Interactively group, sort, and filter the results. Then save that view and share it with others.
-
Get smart results
Start off entering text. Then give Dabble some hints: with native support for dates and times, URLs and email addresses, street addresses, currency, and other data types, Dabble can give you calendar views, subtotals, and more at no extra cost.
What could I build with Dabble?
These are a few examples of applications that we’ve built in Dabble. We hope they inspire you to come up with your own uses. (Click on a thumbnail for a full-size screenshot.)
-
Track your company’s billable hours; group them by project or employee and total them up.
-
Manage your staff schedule; give each employee a custom view of their upcoming shifts.
-
Organize a conference; search for events by room, by presenter, by topic, by type…
-
Record your expenses; add different fields for each type of payment.
DabbleDB is a platform that allows you to create applications online using a web interface. The sort of applications you would create and then use are what most of us normally hack together in a spreadsheet or using some other database application that is often complex.

Livelocker is a social media bookmarking site. It’s is a new way to find great videos, music, and photos, and share your favorites with the rest of the world.
Surf the web, find great media, and Submit it to the site. Use our browser buttons to simplify this task. Go bookmark all your favorites!
Browse the site to check out all the media others have submitted. Find something you like? Save it to your locker. Also rate media, comment, and enjoy together.
Find someone who always submits great stuff? Be sure to add him as a friend, so you can easily find media from people with similar interests as your own.
Livelocker is best described as a del.icio.us for rich media content with rating aspects from digg (and a similar interface). It allows users to bookmark, categorize and share links to videos, audio content and photos. The clean interface makes it easy for visitors to explore and find popular content online as well as to attach ratings to content and add them in their own locker.
The content itself is hosted on other sites and your own ‘locker’ and Livelocker itself only stores the link to the content.

Unless your trip is highly specialized or requires carrying certain items, it is possible to travel and even live indefinitely out of one bag. Here’s how. (Via WikiHow)
