Sometimes we wonder which web applications are used on a website. Is it built with WordPress or Drupal, does it prefer JQuery or MooTools & so..

Wappalyzer is a Firefox add-on that automatically displays these for you.

Logos of the applications used on a website are displayed at the toolbar of the browser.

And, it displays the usage statistics on its website which will probably be a great statistical resource once the add-on is used widely.

OS FLV is an open source & embeddable flv player.

The player has a large amount of options that can be set within the embed code.

It has an API, written in PHP, that enables you to control almost anything like:

• the flv file to be played
• width, height & colors
• auto-play, auto-rewind, auto-load options
• volume, loop & more..

OS FLV also has a mambot for Joomla for an easy integration.

Magic Toolbox is a set of JavaScript image effect solutions.

These JavaScript solutions do not rely on JavaScript framework, they are well-documented and some have installation instructions for other like Joomla, Drupal, osCommerce & more.

They are free only for non-commercial use and need a license for commercial websites.

Easy News is a jQuery plugin which allows creating "news slides" on the fly.

Supporting any HTML content, and even Flash, it can display the content with fade-in / out, left to right ,slide-up / down effects.

Using this jQuery news slide plugin you can adjust the speed of the effects and rotation, or enable / disable mouse-over pause features.

Bitnami can be called as an installation framework that makes it easier than ever to try the latest and greatest versions of popular open source software. Just install, play with the software, and uninstall when you are done. The stacks are pre-configured, self contained, and will not interfere with the rest of your system.

What is a stack?

BitNami stacks make it incredibly easy to install your favorite open source software. Application stacks include an open source application and all the dependencies necessary to run it, such as Apache, MySQL and PHP or Ruby. All you need to do is download the Stack, provide a few pieces of information when prompted by the installation wizard, and that’s it. By the time you click ‘finish’, your new application will be ready to run.
