  1. Note-it Express: I am pretty sure most of you have already hunted this one down since you mac users are always on the hunt for new and cool applications. But if you haven’t, here it is, an application that will let you sync notes to your ipod instead of music. You can write notes within this application and when you are done you can easily sync it with your ipod. A very handy application for mac fans, ipod users and students.

  3. Oovoo : An application that allows you to chat with your mom,dad,brother,sister and yes the annoying uncle and aunt as well, all at the same time via different computers. Since this service is free it makes it even more tempting to try it out. A great application if you are looking for a cheap ( free ) way to conduct video conferences and so on.

  8. Walk 2 Web : What this service does is it lets you search for a particular website from its starting point. You simply type in the website name and you will be taken to a page. Initially the starting point will be the websites name and the website is connected to six nodes, three showing outgoing links and the other three showing incoming links. Now you can see all the links this website has, both inbound and outbound. When you hover your pointer over these links a website preview is shown on the right side which gives you an idea or preview where this particular site is linking or who is linking to it. This is one of the best way to check links since it is interactive and fun.
  9. Product Wiki : This site resembles Wikipedia in the sense it offers exact same service but for product reviews. On this site, each user can review products and add their own reviews or edit reviews submitted by other users.

  11. Should Do This : A website that lets you voice your suggestion to companies,city officials or products. Yes, you can simply call the company or the product hotline but if you ever have, you know it takes a while to get connected, and not to mention the hold after finally getting connected to a customer rep. The service this website provides gets rid of that, to a point. Try it out!
