After reading some other bloggers list out the web tools they cannot live without, I thought I would do the same:

1. gmail - such a no brainer.  i liked it when i first used it.  it’s fast and now that i can access it on my BB and manage my mail just as easily, not only do i not want to live without it, i tell everyone i can to migrate over to it!

2. picasa - just a great way to manage pictures and put “some” in the cloud.
3. kodakgallery- i’ve been using it for 8+ years and my entire digital photo life is there.. well, as well as my hard drive.  their new frame has terrible support, but they do well with printed pics.  i will say, their UI has gotten worse, so i might be in the market for a change.
4. blogger - http://gtsops.blogspot.com is on it.  i’ve been posting to it for years and still love it.  great for beginners.
5. wordpress - my favorite – http://www.saitz.com is on it.  super powerful, lots of great plug-ins, themes, etc.
6. google analytics - i don’t spend hours running reports, but it’s free and gives me great insights with amazing ease
7. google reader (sorry for all the google products.. haha) – best RSS reader, full stop.
8. twitter - i’m hooked.
9. facebook - ok, a time waster, but once in a while it’s a good way to keep in touch or up to date with friends, especially the distant ones.
10. chrome - i now loathe needing to use ff or ie – too bloated!
11. google docs - puh-leeze.  free, easy, great for sharing/collaboration.
12. slingplayer - i do travel and love my slingbox.. love!
13. tripit - great way to centralize all my travels.
14. i’ll skip all the news sites.. most of the obvious ones.
