I recently ran across the article “The Web’s Best Free Stuff” in PC World. And who doesn’t like free stuff? So here are my personal faves.
- Think Free Online Fight Microsoft with an open source alternative. Use for spreadsheets, word processing, and slide presentations.
- 4Shared 5 GB of free storage, and you can file share by folder. Sounds like a great off-site back-up solution.
- Bluestring Another free storage site with e-mailed link option. Great for blogging.
- Phasr This site makes photo collage postcards based using flikr and your words and phrases. Sounds like fun.
- Flypaper Use this site and the free software to make flash-based projects including resumes, presentations and more.
- URL Snooper Grab YouTube movies with this free download.
- MeeVee This is TV Guide on steroids, allowing customizable listings, lots of information about shows, and (ta-da!) links to actual video content.
- WeFi Find WiFi hotspots and track down friends and enemies based on their WiFi usage. Fascinating yet creepy.
- FreeMind Map out projects and ideas. Interesting, veerrry interesting…
- Pidgin Use Pidgin to instant message anyone on any service.
- Make Me Sustainable Calculate your personable carbon footprint.
- Talkshoe Group voice chats for folks with similar interests. Sounds like Yahoo Groups with voice.
- Scrybe A free note-taking and calendar application in beta testing. Nifty.
- Lala.com Upload your personal music collection and play it though any browser on any computer.
- Feedshow A free news reader for Foxfire that scrolls the news items in your feed across the bottom edge of your browser.
