Appcrawlr. Inklewriter - Education. Education inkle is looking to bring interactive stories to the classroom, and give teachers free and simple get-stuck-right-in software to use with their students. From within a web-browser, the inklewriter will let students make and play interactive stories with no programming required.

Why make stories interactive anyway? The way our stories work is simple: the reader is given the text of a story in a small chunks, and after each, they get to make a decision about what happens next. Our first project, Frankenstein, uses interactivity to explore the different facets of Mary Shelley's original novel - allowing the reader to discover different aspects of the world, follow up hints and allusions in the text, and maybe even take some narrative paths that Shelley herself considered. How can students get involved? In the classroom, interactive writing offers an innovative, fun environment in which to write stories. Oh, and it's all free.

Keep Everything: Reading Later and Bookmarking Reinvented. There’s something nice about tools you own. Apps that you can keep using even if they were pulled from the internet, services you keep running on your own servers, tools in your garage. They’re yours, and they’re not going away. Your copy of Pages will still work as long as your Mac works, even if Apple decides to quit making iWork. The bookmarks you’ve saved to Firefox years ago are still there, and would still be there forever even if Mozilla went out of business.

But if Google decided to shut down Google Docs, or if Delicious disappeared (as has nearly happened far too many times now), you’d suddenly have no app with your documents or bookmarks respectively. Unfortunately, the same would be true even for desktop software today if it’s subscription based, as the latest versions of Office and Photoshop are. That’s why it’s so nice to own the tools you rely on. And then, think of bookmarking. Here’s how it works. Internally, your sites are stored in a zip format with a .keep extension. The Best Tools for Saving Web Pages Forever. Your favorite content on the Internet may disappear. Learn about the best software tools and web archiving services that will help you save any web page on the Internet, forever. Web pages change or may even disappear with time. Thus if you would like to preserve a web page forever, you should either need to download that page to your computer (and put it on Dropbox) or you could use a web archiving service that will safely store a copy of that page on their own servers, permanently.

There are quite a few ways to save web pages permanently and your choice of the tool will depend on the kind of web content that you are trying to archive. If you are essentially interested in the saving text-only content, like news articles, Pocket and Instapaper are recommended choices. Evernote and OneNote are impressing tools for archiving web content in your own private notebooks. When the layout is important, your best bet is to use a screen capture tool. Texts From Last Night.

Texting can go wrong—and it frequently does. We’ve all experienced horrible autocorrect fails, moments of anger or stupidity we’d love to take back and have sent messages to the wrong contact.

It’s all painful and/or embarrassing stuff. That’s exactly why Ken Fried founded VaporChat: a free chatting app for iPhone and Android that allows you to vaporize texts that you don’t want floating around “out there”—out of your control. Ken, who is also VaporChat’s CEO, says, “VaporChat is designed to empower users over their entire chatting experience. We looked at all the major pain points associated with traditional texting and solved them. Ken says many users have been “saved” by VaporChat after sending very embarrassing texts and photos, which seem like one obvious use case.
