Useful Web 2.0 Sites That We All Can Use For Free!


Recommended Posts

With the advent of AJAX, we are currently witnessing the births of many Web 2.0 sites. The great thing about these sites is that they will make our day to day lives easier by providing the tools we need to organize and view our stuffs.

Thus, I'm starting this thread to introduce these useful sites to you guys. To those who have come across any, please do share them here.

For a start, let's go to Moneytrackin. It's a place where you can track your money.(Duh!) Think of it as an online Quicken or MS Money, without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. You can generate reports, share your budget with your significant other, or friends etc., and set up multiple projects to track different bank accounts. An overall good site to use if you're to ask me...and it's free!

OK! That's about it for a start...will intro more when I have time. :D

I am pinning this thread as it is, and will be, useful [perhaps, in near future to some of us]. Also, I am separating it from our "Useful Free Software" thread.

Thank you, SunDevil! :)

Box is essentially an online storage site for all your documents, music, photo etc etc.

I use it as a backup for all my important docs and presentations just in case my thumb drives goes kaput on me. You can also share your files with anyone.

Sign up for free to a 1GB storage. (You need to pay for additional storage though)

box is definitely a thumbs up online tool. since you can embed download links to blogs and websites (great for me to distribute pdfs to readers, as the download links last longer that places like yousendit etc which are cumbersome to use too.)

another alternative instead of yousendit is

http://www.pando.com/

its great to send files to multiple people multiple times. upload once, and you can forward the download link to people days later. (instead of uploading it again everytime you want to send the file.

Del.icio.us has been around for a while now and it's definitely gaining popularity among users like us to be one of the best social bookmarking site around.

I mainly use it as a place to store all my bookmarks online. So, no more worries about computer crashes that will wipe out all my bookmarks.

The nifty part is that you can choose which are the bookmarks you wanna share with the public and which you wanna keep away from prying eyes. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a feature where I can choose to share selected bookmarks with certain friends of my choice. Right now, it's only public or private. :(

If you're using Firefox(which I think you really should), go install this extension. It will provide seamless integration into your browser. You can also choose to upload/export all your current bookmarks into your del.icio.us account with just a few clicks.

Have fun! :)

if you have not used flickr.com in the past 2 years... makes one wonder where have you been.

web 2.0 online application allows you to do useful things on the internet. flickr is a great tool to store every single image and have access to it whereever you are.
