We’re on the go, doing a million things a minute and trying to stay ahead of the the avalanche of news and information overwhelming our streams, feeds and inbox. Tatiana Read of Knot PR shared several of her favorite cloud apps and digital fashion PR tools previously, and here are five more freebies to stay on top:

Find Creative Commons Images with Compfight

Working on a blog post or presentation and need a creative commons image fast? Forget mining through Flickr – head to Compfight instead. This search engine is a flickr search tool that allows you to filter by license and serves up related images fast. If you decide to go the stock imagery route – Compfight will show you images from Shutterstock as well.

It’s a great way to make sure you don’t miss out on the next big thing! You can also share your Summify profile through your social networks to extend the reach of these stories!

Resize hi-res images quickly with Shrink Photos
