TOP 10 TOOLS 2008 & 2009
Phil Bradley

I'm a librarian/internet consultant, and I spend most of my time teaching people how to use the Internet. I suspect that I've taught more people in the UK to search the internet that anyone else - I've been teaching internet stuff for the last 10 years+ I've written several books on aspects of the net, including 'How to use Web 2.0 in your library'. 

My weblogs are Phil Bradley's Weblog, I want to and my website is www.philb.com

Phil's  Top 10 Tools as at 9 February 2008

1. Firefox - It's versatile, good for searching, lots of add on applications, easy to use.

2. Furl - Bookmarks on speed. Captures the entire page, not just a URL, therefore good for searching

3. Slideshare.net - Great way to share .ppt files easily and without fuss

4. Pageflakes - The best home/start page out there. Very flexible, more innovative than the competition, easy to share pages.

5. Bloglines - Powerful RSS reader, the new beta version is excellent. Simple and easy to use.

6. Typepad - Great blogging tool.

7. Audacity - Use this all the time for audio, no other tool is as good

8. Flickr - If there's a better place to store images I've not found it.

9. Twitter - Super way to share information back and forth

10. PB Wiki - Lovely easy wiki software that anyone can pick up and use.
