IconFinder, Cyclo.ps, and Smush.it

I have three new web tools to feature this week, all working with images.

Our first one is IconFinder, an icon search engine. They have a collection of over 120,000 icons to search from and offer .PNG and .ICO as the download options. Great little tool to add some positive user experience to your website.


The second tool is Cyclo.ps which is an image search engine, but it aggregates search results from BigStockPhoto, Cutcaster, Flickr, Fotolia, Photos.com, Shutterstock, stock.xchng, and stockvault.


The last website I have to feature is Smush.it, hosted on Yahoo! Developer Network. Smush.it is a lossless optimization tool, meaning it will reduce your image file size without jeopardizing your image's quality. This comes especially handy when you need to optimize your websites speed.
