My Web Tool Kit

I am online 80% of the time I am awake. If you add the fact that I have AIM on my cell phone that runs on auto-pilot, I guess in some form I never leave the online world. To manuever through all the posts, feeds, emails, social networks and everything else, there are some things that get me through my days, keep everything organized and help me make sure I am not overbooked, which I still usually am.

So, without too much more mushy background, here at the web apps that make my life easier/more cluttered/more efficient:

Flock - The Mozilla based browser keeps my surfing and Social Networking in supreme visibility. With the addition of Pownce and Digg in the latest update I am now streaming and keeping up with Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube, Pownce and Digg. I can honestly say that I don’t take full advantage of their platform, but enough to choose it over Firefox all day, everyday.

Twhirl - Even with Flock, I needed a more powerful Twitter app. With Twhirl I can easily follow conversations and perform easy actions such as @, favorite, direct message and re-tweet, plus have all my replies and DM’s in a nice little app that runs on Adobe Air.

The Google Suite - GMail, GCal, Gtalk and Google Reader. No explanation needed.

Remember the Milk - The best tasking site I have ever used. I was using BackpackIt, but the limitations suck. Plus RTM plugs right into my Google Calendar.

Blip TV - Not my favorite Video Service, but the most that is the most functional. I love Viddler, but with Blip I can get my Music Videos cross posted and aggregated within Twitter, Myspace bulletins and Blog posts and on Facebook. Plus the player can be resized to fit any sidebar, a super effective feature that has really won me over.

That rounds up my Web Apps. What are you using that might be better than the tools up on my list? FriendFeed? Thunderbird? I’d love to know why I should switch!
