Delicious Today: tools, free and easy tools

There are tons of free and good tools online to help public broadcasters (and others) accomplish essential online media tasks such as creating and posting image, audio and video files, having audience share content with one another, and so on. Below are some of the free and easy tools that I have accumulated so far. Please add yours to the list and together we can build an impressive online tool kit for public media.

#0: CMS (Content Management System)

• WordPress
• Drupal
• Django
  

#1: Screen capture as image, video or narrated slide show
These tools record your action on computer screen (whole or part of the screen) and narration. So they're perfect for creating demo video, narrated slide shows, and illustrated stories.

• Screenr: can send screen capture video to mobile, too
• ScreenToaster: can add subtitle and capture webcam images
  
• Jing: can't record webcam

#2: Sharing and collaboration

• Delicious: share bookmarks with your other computers or other people
  
• AddThis: generates buttons or icons that allow users to print, email, and share content via over 50 social network destinations. I use it on this blog (see icons at the bottom of this post).
• Publish 2: used by New York Times and many other media organizations, the tool facilitates collaboration among journalists. A great example of its use in the snow flooding coverage in Washington state.
• Top 10 Apps for Scheduling a Meeting Online
• Doodle: easy scheduling
• Google Groups: share documents, have discussions among group members
  

#3: Image, audio and video editor

• Paint.net: image editor for Windows only

• Kaltura open source video: a video editing tool. I haven't tested it yet since I don't work with video much.
• Animata: animation editor
  
• Dipity: tool to create timeline
