As we prepare our next feature story for Website Magazine -- a guide to successful Web startups -- we have been doing some research for online tools that can help businesses get a good head start or keep tabs on the industry. Below are five resources you might not be familar with. From a Twitter tool to an innovative way to solicit user feedback, these should help any Web enterprise today and to plan for the future.

Do you have a favorite Web tool? Let everyone know by leaving a comment below!

	Tweet Nest - A browse-able, searchable, and customizable solution to backup/archive tweets is a useful way to turn back the Twitter clock. The best part might just be that the application is free and can be run from your own server (PHP 5.2 and MySQL required).

	Clue: A very interesting, free Web-based application that provides a way to ask people about what they remember about your website. Create a memory test with the Clue app and capture some valuable information on users' first impressions of your site.

	Huddler: A fully-supported SaaS platform, Huddler works with existing online discussion forum sites to integrate product reviews, wiki articles, image galleries and blogs to help increase community engagement and create a unified platform.

	iFeelGoods: Help retailers replace traditional promotions and incentives such as coupons and discounts with virtual goods and virtual currencies for a wide range of social games and networks.

	Klaggle: Offers retailers and online sellers a way to improve their businesses (engage visitors, keep them on site and drive revenue by accelerating user buying behavior) by providing access to online product review content.

Platformic's New Embedded Content Tool

Platformic launched its Embedded Content Tool designed to allow website owners easier ways to embed multimedia on their sites in real-time.

This new tool allows for faster implementation of audio, video and photos without relying on a website professional to know HTML or other behind-the-scene requirements. "Historically, building pages such as those enabled by the Embedded Content Tool would require programmatic effort, serious modifications and often integration with third-party providers to add digital assets such as audio, video and photos and photo galleries," said Claudio Canive, CEO of Platformic in its press release.

Embedded rich content will add to users' experience and keep them at the sites longer. Platformic is a website development company that assists website owners with creating, hosting, updating and support of their websites, eliminating the need to have in-house IT professionals. The Tribune Company and Comcast SportsNet are two companies that utilize Platformic.
