ByteSizeMatters is a very simple website that tells you the size of a piece of text in bytes/KB/MB/etc (whatever fits) with or without the whitespace. Mainly useful for front-end web developers, since in JavaScript or CSS, bytesize really does matter.

Features:

• Allows multiple snippets of text to be entered, for easier comparison
• Accounts for line terminator differences across OS’ (in Windows a line terminator is 2 bytes, in Unix-based systems it’s 1 byte)
• Can ignore whitespace (useful for JS/CSS that is going to be minified)

ByteSizeMatters is the creation of Fresset Ltd, and if you are interested in learning about the story behind the website, check out this post.

Jjot makes it possible for anyone to create, print, and share notes on the fly. The notes are nicely organized in what is called "noteboards" making it easier for you to group relevant notes together. Each note you create can include links, bulleted lists, bold text, and can be moved around or zoomed at your convenience. Sharing your notes is made possible by either emailing an individual note, or by sharing a whole noteboard through a specially created URL. The option of printing notes is also available and you can easily print notes individually or print an entire noteboard. A really useful feature is the search functionality; when notes pill up and you can’t remember where you saved a particular note, this would definitely make your life easier.

Features:

• Easily create notes (a la sticky notes)
• Organize notes in noteboards
• Share notes or an entire noteboard
• Notes can include links, bulleted lists, and some text formatting
• Notes can be resized or moved around
• Registration is optional, but it is recommended if you need to save what you create
• Search functionality

Communicating and sharing our text online started with a great invention called Email. Since that time many services were introduced that followed that same objective. Today our methods of passing messages have come a long way, and the arrival of micro-blogging and its obvious dominance in that area, entailed the creation of services that would cover the limitations of the famous 140 characters we always seem to run out of.

Assume the following scenario: You are communicating with a friend using Twitter; suddenly, a question that requires a detailed answer; you have a million reasons for not wanting to use your email; what to do? Well, online clipboards are the answer. Just go to your preferred site, enter the lengthy text that your friend is expecting, click on the generate/submit button, and voila; a nice short link that you can pass to your friend without worrying about characters real estate or the need to login anywhere.

Today’s roundup is about that, and as an added bonus some of the listed sites offer some extra features such as password protection, attachments, text formatting for both regular messages and code snippets.
