What Kind Of Icons Do You Need (Poll)?
Icons are great design resources which help improving the interfaces we create as they can define "what words may not".
The talented team at Iconshock, a professional icon design company, will be creating small (~5 items) but focused icon sets exclusively for WebResourcesDepot readers every month.
And, to decide which icon set to be created first, the best idea is: asking WRD readers to choose it.
P.S. The poll will be open until 15 June 2009 (Monday).

Ident Engine: A JavaScript Library To Fetch Social Network Profiles/Activities
Ident Engine is an open source JavaScript library that can bring together the footprints every user leaves on various social networks.
The library supports more than 70 sites, including all the popular ones like Twitter, Flickr, Facebook or Youtube.
From Glenn Jones, the creator of the library:
Wouldn’t it be a little magical if, when you signed up for a new site, the site said something like, “We notice you have a profile photo on Flickr and Twitter, would you like to use one of those or upload a new one?”
Ident Engine makes this totally possible.
It analyzes the relations between various networks using the
rel="me"tags & Social Graph API’s "lookup" method.And, to parse the profiles Yahoo’s YQL or a .Net parser, UfXtract is used.
More technical details can be found at "Discovering Magic", an article by Glenn Jones, and you can always check the demos to see the power of Ident Engine.
Requirements: jQuery & YQL or UfXtract parser
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Reduce Image File Size Without Any Loss of Quality
punypng is a free tool that dramatically reduces page load times by reducing the file size of an image without any loss of quality. punypng uses several web optimization techniques to reduce the file sizes of your images. It first analyzes the content of your image and figures out the best image format to use.
Depending on the file, punypng will automatically convert your GIF into a PNG format and then further compress that. For JPEGs, sometimes it’s better to make it a PNG, and other times it’s better to keep it as JPEG and use jpeg-tran to optimize it. punypng makes all those decisions for you and ensures the best possible results.
