Five Free Web Apps We Can't Live Without

In this article, 5 web applications are listed as the best and easiest to use. They include Ta-Da List, PBwiki, Google Docs, Bloglines v3 Beta, and Zoho creator. Ta-da list is an easy to use to-do list maker, which only requires simply typing your lists and that's it. There are no tags or categories, just simple ordered lists that can be created and saved so they can be accessed from anywhere. Next, PBwiki provides users the ability to make a free wiki as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich...catchy huh? The plus side to this wiki is that it is ad free. Google Docs has become very popular in recent months and allows users to upload docs and save them for later work. This office suite of Google Docs provides users with constant access to their documents over the Internet. Bloglines v3 Beta is just another RSS reader, or is it? Because it's in the beta version it still has some quirks to work out but offers easy access to news articles and provides basic functionality. Most importantly, it's easy to use. Zoho creator is a great tool to make your own database applications and provides only two page layouts but it can be embedded in web pages. All of these applications seem great; however, I have never heard of any of them except for Google Docs, probably because Google is such a powerful name. If I had to add any web applications to the list it would be the Google Reader which is a great tool to use if you are already using Google Apps. Also blogger.com, a Google application, is very popular and comes with many features that I like such as auto saving a blog and great template views. After reading this article, I will definitely have to use Ta-da lists and probably check out the Bloglines v3 reader.
