There is no rhyme or reason for these choices other than I think they are pretty smart and could be useful in PR and publicity. Click on the logo or pic to go to the site. (Thanks to @rahsheen and @ABenton for some of these discoveries.)
If you have a client who has great content yet not enough for a book, this could be a great option to produce a specialized magazine. It could used for financial reports, highlighting your own business or even creating an event program that is slick. MagCloud enables you to make a magazine. Try it.
Screenr is great for creating screenshot presentations complete with voiceover recording ability.

This service enables you to record a memo from your phone or from other voice sources and have them transcribed into text. It is great for blogging or for writing out important thoughts that come to you at the spur of the moment.
I love Vokle. It provides a live stream publishing system that is unique and incredibly useful for hosting online gatherings of all sizes. Vokle’s special features include multiple screen streaming, a chat applet and Twitter stream. You can take calls from attendees. It’s pretty smart. Currently, it is in beta and not available to everyone. But I have it on good authority that it will launch on October 18.
I’m biased about this site, because I know the founder and creator of it. BlackWeb20.com and I use this site to communicate with discussion boards that are private. There is also a great online filing system for photo exchanges and storing other documents for a work group. This is a wonderful tool to use for client contact.
