Situation: You're curious about some of the latest Web 2.0 Gadgets...

I've heard so very many people say, "it's the little things that count".   So here are a few gadgets that do some interesting "little things".  

Easily make web sites available offline
WebMynd is a service that records all of the sites you search to your hard drive, making them quickly available and available offline.  So if you have a lot of online reading to do and have to catch a plane - this could be really useful.  More details are avialable in this TechCrunch posting

Translate text from a foreign language
The world still keeps getting smaller every day.  So more of your business contacts probably speak other languages.  Microsoft Windows Live has recently released a translator similar to Google Translate and Altavista's BabelFish. You can paste in some text or just point them at a web page and tada! - a fairly readable translation will pop out of the other end.

Keep everything you ever cut and pasted
For you data packrats out there, ControlC links up with your clipboard and maintains an encrypted online copy of everything you "Ctrl+C" for later use.  The idea is that its an easy way not just to keep things "just in case", but also a great way to bookmark specific content that you want to point others to - say through a link in an email.

So there you go - mildly interesting online tools.  Hopefully there's something here you can use.

WebMynd looks like an interesting tool for someone who travels a lot and works on the plane. I''m definitely going to look into it.

Thanks for the tips!
