Tools, links and services we found this week

Email on Acid – despite the odd name this is a very useful tool – it allows you to take a peak at what your email will look like in almost every email client and browser. Check your HTML email templates is a good idea as they can vary dramatically from client to client.

Curate.US – This tool makes it very easy to create clips from sites you visit and then share these visual links with automatic attribution back to the original content. You can even embed the clips as you curate.

Vidpresso – pretty simple idea here – this tool syncs a video with a presentation – so if you’ve got your slides and you recorded a video of you presenting this can put the two together to create something that may be more useful for online display
