Anol's Top 10 Tools as at
3 August 2008
Firefox - Do we
remember how was the life before FireFox?
FF is not only the
browser that simply
works, the Plugins
and Add-ons
developed by the
community help me to
make it my own. Love
it!
Google Family - It’s not a
single tool, I use and love and can’t live without
Gmail,
Google
Talk,
Google Reader,
Google Docs, Google Calendar,
Google Sites ... My company also moved into
Google Apps, making my life much easier.
WordPress
- The sweetest
blog engine, again Open Source and community
development (plugin, theme) rules! All of my blogs
are using Wordpress. [Thanks
James
for introducing me to WordPress, 3 years back]
del.icio.us
- Simple, easy to use, effective. Period!
flickr -
Most intuitive online album application till date.
Basecamp
- The online project management application by 37
Signals. Without that me and my team will be forced to
live a hellish chaotic life! It’s simple and provides a
great user experience.
As Google
Sites replaced PB Wiki, I will fill up the place
with
Evernote,
the best note taking s/w (replacing Google Notes for
me). Best part of Evernote is it's Web, PC and Mac
based client.
MindManager -
Most feature rich, link-all-tools mind managing s/w, I
use it as my dashboard.
PowerPoint
- Because still there is no viable alternatives.
Remember the Milk : the most user friendly task
manager around with Google Calendar, Twitter and IM
support.

PB Wiki -
We are running our intranet or ‘Knowledge Pod’ on this.
Cool, flexible and easy too use. Even a drunken monkey
can use it.
