Trunk.ly was just launched less than a week ago, very timely considering the havoc on Delicious thanks to Yahoo. No, it’s not a Delicious clone. Instead, it indexes links that you have shared on your Twitter and Facebook account, and make them searchable.

Like Twitter, you can follow someone on Trunk.ly and view their shared links by clicking on the “Friend’s links” tab. If you want to keep your shared links only to yourself, just check the “Protect my links” checkbox on the settings page and you’re good to go.

According to Trunk.ly’s blog post, we will soon be able to add a link directly, making it a viable refugee camp for Delicious users if basic bookmarking service is all they need.

In fact, it’s possible to import links from Delicious from day one.

You may want to register yourself an account while the service is still in its infancy, before someone grabbed your vanity URL when it gets popular later.

The last thing Trunk.ly would want to do is to be acquired by Yahoo!

How do you normally send large files over email? Most webmail providers limits file attachment to 25 MB or 50 MB. For larger files, you would have to upload the file to an external host like RapidShare and Megaupload. Some of these file hosting sites is just a pain to use, with annoying ads and waiting time.

WeTransfer is a minimalistic file transfer service with no waiting time, and no annoying ads. There is only one small applet on the website, with an artistic background advertisement.

You can send files up to 2GB to 20 email address. Once your recipient has downloaded the file, you will be notified via email.

No registration is required. You can upload right away, enter your recipient’s email address, your own email address and hit the “Transfer” button.

After uploading, you will receive an email containing a forward link and a download link. Hit the forward link to forward the file to more recipients. Alternatively, you can also share the file using the short URL download link.

All these sounds perfect to bring down those giant file hosting sites with countless of limitations, except the uploaded files will only be hosted for 2 weeks.

Do you have your tabs running wild on your Google Chrome? If yes, this would be perfect. Starting from December 15 to 19, Google will donate to a cause of your choice at the end of each day depending on the number of tabs you’ve opened.

The more tabs you open, the more Google will donate:

• 10 tabs = 1 tree planted
• 10 tabs = 1 book published and donated
• 25 tabs = 1 vaccination treatment provided
• 100 tabs = 1 square foot of shelter built
• 200 tabs = 1 person’s clean water for a year
