ImageOptim — make websites and apps load faster (Mac app)

ImageOptim — make websites and apps load faster (Mac app)
ImageOptim optimizes images — so they take up less disk space and load faster — by finding best compression parameters and by removing unnecessary comments and color profiles. It handles PNG, JPEG and GIF animations. ImageOptim seamlessly integrates best optimisation tools: PNGOUT, Zopfli, Pngcrush, AdvPNG, extended OptiPNG, JpegOptim, jpegrescan, jpegtran, and Gifsicle. It's excellent for publishing images on the web (easily shrinks images “Saved for Web” in Photoshop) and also useful for making Mac and iPhone/iPad applications smaller (if you configure Xcode). How to use it Simply drag'n'drop images or folders into the window!

Google Maps API Tutorial If you want to have dozens of markers on your page, it gets a bit cumbersome to manage them if you code them all in your Javascript as in the previous examples.
