- Bloglines - Aggregate your blogs in one place
- del.cio.us - Online bookmarking, have your bookmarks available wherever you login. See who else has bookmarks (interests) similar to yours.
- flickr - Online photo storage and sharing with a Creative Commons area.
- picnik - Online photo editing with a Creative Commons area.
- jumpcut - Online video editing tool.
- gcast.com
- pbwiki & wikispaces - Free online wiki tools.
- Google docs & Spreadsheets - Free online tools that rival Microsoft Word and Excel. Allows collaborative work!
- Vyew.com - Free online webinar solution.
