www.gyminee.com - a website that helps you track weight loss, calorie intake, and come up with exercise programs.
www.google.com/reader - an RSS feed reader that allows you to read many news feeds from tons of websites, quickly and easily
mail.google.com - gmail keeps getting better and better with free POP and IMAP so that I can read it on my Windows Mail program as well as new and helpful features being added monthly it seems.
www.facebook.com - it's just fun
www.anyvite.com - you can invite freinds to a gathering and set up a mini-blog for the event. Friends can accept your invitation without having to register on the website to say yes / no / maybe. Plus, after the event you can add pictures and video.
www.igoogle.com - a personalized web page of google with tons of gadgets to choose from. A good homepage for some
www.go2web20.net - a list of "web 2.0" sites.
www.todoist.com - a nice small to-do website (I still like Outlook better though)
del.icio.us - bookmarks stored online and syncronized with my firefox
APPLICATIONS
Launchy - press alt-space to bring up the launcher, which indexes your desktop and computer and can launch pretty much anything with a little tweaking. I have set up (for instance) a launcher called "gtf" and "gte" which brings up google translate and translates the phrase that I give it. For example if I want to know what "ca va" means in english, I type alt+space gtf [TAB] ca va and press enter and it immediatly brings me to the google translate website with the translation of ca va. It's very useful for those long french e-mails that I get every so often.
OpenOffice 3.0 - looks much better than it's 2.0 counterpart and is a free alternative to the Microsoft Office suite.
Playon by MediaMall - lets you stream Hulu, CBS, Netflix, ESPN through your computer to your PS3 and watch it on your TV
Yeah, that's it for now. I'll write more if I think of others.
