Lasting Post is a very useful site created by Chantal Richards. I read about the site in an article in 'You' magazine in The Mail on Sunday and I thought what a brilliant idea and a fantastic free service she has produced. Her site offers information and a guide for people planning their funeral and it also becomes a memorial site after you are gone. And it's free.
It may sound morbid, but sadly a lot of people don't plan their funeral so when they die, it is an added stress for the family and friends to deal with. This site provides an easy, straightforward way to avoid that stress and ease the time when you or someone you know dies.

LooseStitch: Free Online Outliner
LooseStitch is a free collaboration tool for writers. It's fun to use - although I found that it takes a bit of practice to figure out how it works. You can create outlines for all sorts of things and invite as many friends as you want.
I think students may find LooseStitch particulary useful. However, it's worth noting that "Pages being shared may be promoted and linked by crossroad solutions as example uses of the Service."

The Awesome Highlighter
The Awesome Highlighter is a very cool web tool.
It's just like the yellow highlighters people use to highlight bits of text in a book, but The Awesome Highlighter is a free tool for highlighting bits of text on webpages. It's super easy (and fun!) to use. After you've selected the text you want highlighted, the site provides a small link to the webpage with the highlighted bits. You can choose to send the link to yourself or share it with friends.
It really is awesome!
