​Here are some amazing random cool stuff that I found on the internet this week - just click and enjoy

Thanks for reading!

​
This week:​
  1. MuscleWiki, which allows you to click any part of the human body, then provides you with a list of exercises to workout said part. It also describes each exercise and shows you how to do it.
  2. Boredom doesn't mean you should distract yourself with the simplest and most mind-numbing content out there on the web. Try expanding your knowledge by diving deep into the incredibly useful and thought-provoking blog posts on Brain Pickings, which is a popular blog run by MIT fellow Maria Popova. She's the one who does all the research and writing for each post.
  3. Lifehacker is a stylishly named life tips and software recommendation site. The mesmerising appeal of Lifehacker is about how practically useful it is. All the advice focuses on accomplishing more in your everyday life, like how to cook better al dente pasta, how to tailor your daily work to your personal strengths, and how to grow vegetables in your apartment.
  4. Silk is a site to create dreamy works of art with your mouse. Have fun subconsciously drawing genitalia.
  5. Ted is a site with 1900+ informative and interesting talks to choose from you’re guaranteed to find something you love.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ​

This week:                                                                                                                                       

1. Content Creation:
Scoop.it is a content marketing software company. They operate the Scoop.it platform, a Content curation service, and market their content marketing software to businesses.

2. Whiteboard:
Moovly is used by many of the worlds largest and most successful companies to make their videos and whiteboard animations. Sign up free to Moovly and start to create  presentations, animations or multimedia content. There are several free templates to start. Also, you can add your own images, sounds and video clips to the animation. There are possibilities to view, edit, delete and restore the created video on Moovly at any time. Also, the video can publish on YouTube and Facebook.

3. Collaboration:
If you’re into a note-taking application designed for teams, Notejoy is a nifty option that provides the real-time collaboration and discussion across desktop, mobile, and web. It’s a lot like an Evernote alternative that’s been built with more of a focus on teams, so you can easily create libraries that are shared and synced with other members of your team.

4. Design platform:
Figma is an interface design tool that enables multiple designers to collaborate in real-time. This is very effective when you have multiple stakeholders in the project that are involved in shaping the outcome. It’s available in the browser, or on Windows, Mac or Linux, and there are both free and paid versions depending on what you use it for.

5. File Sharing:
Dropmark provides simple collaboration and file sharing in the cloud, with drag-and-drop facility from your desktop to browser, so your files are automatically uploaded to the cloud. You can invite colleagues to view and collaborate privately, and organize files into collections with sharable shortlinks.

This week:​
  1. Uncontacted Tribes – This website is a beautiful collection of videos, pictures, and even stories of ‘uncontacted tribes’ which still exist, scattered all over the world. It gives an interesting insight into the way of life of humans who have been untouched by technology, electronics, and other modern facets of life. 
  2. Not Always Right – Had a bad day at work? Did that one annoying, pesky customer or client who just wouldn’t shut up tried to give you a hard time, and succeeded? Then this website is just perfect for you! It’s a collection of stories about customers who just don’t know when to shut up. From incredibly funny to just downright horrifying, there’s a little bit of it all here.
  3. the unbeatn path – Here’s something that I’m sure a lot of people will need to read. The unbeatn path features hand-picked and curated stories of young adults who are drop outs, and yet were able to make their way regardless of that fact. It features new and real stories every month, so it’s always worth to give it a visit every now and then.
  4. Useful Science - This is a site good for learning. This website offers the collection of one-line summaries of research published in scientific journals on different topics.
  5. Is It Normal – ​Do you like to dip French fries in ice cream? The website will help you understand whether your thoughts, feelings and urges are normal or weird and just unique to you. People can ask questions and once it gets approved, the community can weigh in their thoughts.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ​

This week:​
  1. Brain Pickings – Boredom doesn't mean you should distract yourself with the simplest and most mind-numbing content out there on the web. Try expanding your knowledge by diving deep into the incredibly useful and thought-provoking blog posts on Brain Pickings, which is a popular blog run by MIT fellow Maria Popova. She's the one who does all the research and writing for each post.
  2. Explosm – If webcomics are your thing, then you have to be familiar with Cyanide and Happiness – one of the most popular and funniest webcomics out there. There's a new webcomic every day, but you can also head on over to the website and press the question mark button over and over again to view random comics.
  3. Engrish – This is a site that takes photos from all over the world of things like signs or product packaging that are riddled with spelling and grammatical mistakes, or just convey an entirely different message due to translation errors and extreme unfamiliarity with the English language.
  4. Mix – Sometimes you want to surf the internet, but don't want to do all the paddling. For that, there's Mix. Mix lets you set your reader profile and then share the articles, photos, and videos you discover from your own personal "mix." It's a convenient way to entertain yourself and learn new things by simply telling the web to surprise you.
  5. Cracked – ​According to the site's slogan, Cracked is “America’s Only Humor Site Since 1958.” Cracked is famous for their timeless list posts. Columnists and contributing writers craft witty, funny articles on topics ranging from history to TV & movies to internet tech.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ​

This week:                                                                                                                                       

1. Chat Software:
Olark claims to be the “world’s simplest live chat software.” Its ease of use comes in the form of real-time reporting, automated messages, and straightforward team management tools. The platform is also highly customizable, so you can adjust it to fit your exact live chat needs.
​
2. Candidate screening:
Freshteam is an intuitive, easy-to-use, affordable Applicant Tracking System and Recruitment Software that helps recruiters source, interview and hire great talent. With Freshteam, recruiters can set up jobs pages, share job postings, solicit employee referrals, collaborate with the hiring team to shortlist candidates, schedule interviews, gather feedback and make offers. Freshteam is part of Freshworks, whose products include Freshdesk, Freshservice etc.

3. People Search:
Zabasearch is a free people search engine that scours freely accessible public information and records. Everything found at Zabasearch is culled from public domain information, such as databases, court records, and phone directories. It's a smart place to start a search because of all the public information it retrieves and shows in one place.

4. Task management:
ClickUp combines amazing simplicity with enough customization to fit any person, team, or organization who is looking to be more productive. In ClickUp, you can set up different teams and spaces–some can be personal, for your work, or anything else you can think of. The feature that helps ClickUp do this best is the option for multiple views (list, board, box and time). What makes that special is that you can view the same tasks and projects through any of these lenses while keeping the same task details, statuses, due dates, and task dependencies.

5. Customer service:
​
If you’re looking to provide professional IT service to your customers, Samanage may have you covered. The winner of our Great User Experience and Supreme Software Award is rapidly becoming the favorite system in all industries, mostly due the intuitiveness and beautiful appearance that provide an unmatched user experience. The IT desk is fast, combines all necessary asset management and reporting widgets to be used in corporate environments, but most of all it is well integrated to work in every software ecosystem.

  3. Zooniverse – A really neat website that brings people together to create one of the largest platforms for people-powered research. Volunteers come together to assist professional researchers. There is no need for a specialised background or training; all you have to do is to answer simple questions.
  4. Addicted 2 Success – Need a little pick me up? Addicted 2 Success is the place to go. It features articles that are designed to inspire and empower people who are looking to turn their life around. There’s entrepreneurship, self-development, and an all-round focus on success and on getting things done!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ​

1. Chat Software:
LiveChat is the industry leader in live chat software. It’s very easy to set up and install with their free LiveChat plugin for WordPress.

Our Applicant tracking system lets you manage the entire hiring process. Right from professional postings to capturing the right candidate. Set up your website today start mining talent tomorrow. Start with a professional looking careers page. Automate the entire hiring process with Recruitment management system.

3. People Search:
Intelius earned our pick for best data visualization because the reports are both easy to read and visually interesting. For example, you can view an interactive relationship map showing relatives and professional connections within the person’s network. In addition, Intelius is one of the best people search services for buying individual reports ($4) rather than requiring a monthly subscription like so many other services, though you can still sign up for a subscription. 

4. Task Management:
Quire is a new generation cloud-based task management software that allows users to plan, organize and effortlessly execute their projects. With the infinite nested task list and Kanban Board, Quire is a collaborative platform that aims to help you achieve your dreams. Quire enables you to track your working process at any time anywhere and collaborate in real-time with your team members.

5. Customer Service:
Freshdesk, being among the most popular help desk options available today, provides users with most of the tools and capabilities that they would expect from a standard help desk software. These tools consist of automated ticketing mechanisms, support inboxes accessible by the entire team, social customer support, knowledge bases or information portals, and community forums. The system also has integrated ticket-time tracking functionality that helps identify the bottlenecks that hamper support operations.
