Fun Friday Resources

First up, two websites that will be of limited use to most of us, but if you need to create short videos for Twitter visibility (for example), then Audiobites is for you; and if you need to create an online manual/resource for everyone to use (and to contribute to), then the free wiki software at BookStack is for you.
