There are a lot of online services, from calendars to webmail, to to-do list software and a lot more. To give you an idea of the tools I use (and why), let's list them. You'll probably know most of them (if not all ;-)

Flickr

Flickr is simply cool. It let's you store all your images and organize them by tag, date and you can even place them on a map. I always used to have my own image gallery tools on this server, yet I believe an extra backup, and the cool features are a lot more fun!

30 Boxes

I'm in love with my 30 boxes account. For quite some time, I've been looking for a good tool to keep my appointments and other people's birthdays listed for quite some time and 30 boxes just suits me best. It beats all the other tools (desktop GUI based, CLI based and web based). Give it a try, you'll love it! The most important thing is I love is the CLI tool by Tatsuhiko.

Bloglines

Choosing a RSS reader is like a voting for a USA president. They all suck so you have to choose the lesser evil (take note, you US-citizens!). Bloglines sucks, I have to admit it, but I also cannot live without it anymore. Its' speed and ease of use beat all the others, in my humble opinion.

HiveMinder

Keeping track of appointments is a Good Thing™ yet keeping your "things to do" in order is quite essential too. Like 30Boxes, HiveMinder comes with a CLI tool as well and how can I choose another to-do list site over a Perl based site like HiveMinder?

Yahoo! Mail

Do I really have to explain this one? Yahoo! Mail has been around for centuries now and probably won't leave us anytime soon. Always good to have a backup mail account when my own server breaks down (which happens more than I like...). Besides, people tend to remember better, and make less mistakes with yahoo.com than b10m.net.

Del.icio.us

I like to have access to my bookmarks anywhere in the world. Del.icio.us helps you organize your precious bookmarks and store them on a central server. Yeah, another Yahoo! tool ... guess I like that company ;-)

Inbox.com

Can one have too many email addresses? Inbox.com offers POP3 access, making it easy to suck it into my beloved mutt

BigContacts

I haven't fully checked out this service and I do have to say the layout doesn't attract me at all, yet like the calendar dilemma, I think I finally found somewhat of a solution. The site offers API access (I'm still waiting for my API keys guys!) so someday I'll hack up a Perl module for that. More CLI tools!

ImageShack

I'd rather not mess up my Flickr account with screenshots and other useless images, so I just dump them on ImageShack. Easy to upload and a rather reliable site.

Ipoo

Ipoo does the same as Mailinator, or DodgeIt. Collect email you care about for about a minute. The difference is that it's less known and therefor the speed of receiving mail is nice (unlike the other two mentioned, where sometimes you have to wait very long).

TinyURL

Long URLs are annoying in emails, instant messaging let alone remembering! So whenever I have a long URL (or the URL is spoiling the joke), I run it through tinyurl.

B10mPad

B10mPad let's you dump some text. That's it. Sometimes configuration files, snippets of code etc. need to be shared with someone. B10mPad helps me (hence I wrote it). But of course you can also use (and probably should, for it's probably better) Scribble

What am I missing here? Feel free to leave your comments!
