Firefox and
Thunderbird
simply for ease of
use – does what it
says on the tin
-
WordPress
-
easy to use and
gives you loads of background information about your site.
-
Wikispaces
- couldn’t
manage without this – use it for collaborative working with
colleagues in two different time zone 20 hours apart – so
versatile and I’m learning more about its use all the time
-
StatCounter
-
superb stat provider for your site.
-
Wikipedia
-
even with the
inaccuracies, it’s an easy first place to go for basics
-
Skype -
what is there to
say
-
Netvibes -
just
realised how much I need this when working away from my own
laptop. I was lost without my feed reader so needed an
online one.
-
Facebook
-
isn’t everyone on
this now.
-
Jaiku -
great micro blogging site which can import feeds from your
contacts
-
MindManager
and
Bubbl.us -
useful for
ordering thoughts, ideas and projects – bubbl.us is fantastic for collaborative
work
