15 Cool, New and Useful Web Apps You’ve Never Heard Of
I have spent a long time lately trying to find unique tools that will help me simplify certain tasks in my day to day activity. I have put together a list of 15 web apps that have really help me to save time online. All these applications are different markets but they all have one thing in common, they are cool, new and very useful!
Waze
Driver-Generated Live Maps and Real-Time Road Information. Driving with waze mobile client lets users passively and actively share real time data and receive the optimal route to their destination.
Spacky
Spacky is a free keyword research tool. Spacky lets the user type in any keywords and then lets them know search volumes in Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
Curculator
Curculator is a very simple currency converter and calculator that has been design to save users time. The currency converter uses daily mid-market rates from various trusted sources. All rates are refreshed daily. However, I would really like to see them announce their source for the financial information
Itumz
Itumz is a powerful web application that lets you make lists, access them from any web browser, and share them with your friends and the world. The rich user interface is simple to use and makes it easy to create to-do or task lists.
Superminder
To-do’s are too simple, calendars are overly complex, sometimes you just need to be reminded. Superminder is a micro-application that will make sure you don’t forget.
Springo
Springo is a visual search engine like no other. Currently Springo lists some of the main search results but is still yet to get very detailed.
Tatango
Tatango, the ad-supported group SMS service. The service is dead simple to use, as it should be. I made the jump from accountless bum to en masse messaging mogul in all of about 2 minutes.
Amplify
Amplify is a service for sharing clips from articles, blog posts or anything else you read on the web with your friends on Twitter.
Topsy
Topsy is a search engine powered by tweets. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations. Topsy treats people differently from the webpages they create and the things they say.

Charts.fm
Charts.fm is the ultimate tool to create your personal music charts by (re)mixing the charts of more than 2650 radiostations.

FeedMingle makes lives simpler for web designers/developers, feed readers, bloggers, or just anyone who wants to merge two or more RSS / Atom feeds into one. It mixes all the feeds provided and creates one RSS feed, Atom feed, JSON feed, and a html widget to simply paste into your website or blog.

Fotopedia is breathing new life into photos by building a photo encyclopedia that lets photographers and photo enthusiasts collaborate and enrich images to be useful for the whole world wide web.

Cool list! I would add Jinni, the best movie recommendation engine and great time-waster.
There are no useful pizza sites here hahaha
Great list of services. I personally love and use Superminder. It seems to be the new buzz
Thanks for the Snipi mention, Steven. To all readers, Snipi is a Firefox add-on (IE and Safari versions released in 2 weeks), that lets you literally drag and drop products, photos, videos and other content from anywhere on the web. All this content is organized in your personal account on http://www.snipi.com, can be private or shared on Snipi.com and can also be sent right to Facebook, Twitter, or WordPress, right from the toolbar.
There’s also a Snipi iPhone app where you can see all of your lists and all of items with details, that you’ve snipped from the web.
In 2 weeks, when the IE and Safari versions are released, we will be introducing Snipstreams. You will be able to create a custom stream of content around any interest and snip products, photos, videos and other content right to the stream. You can optionally allow/invite others to join in and contribute content. You will be able place these streams anywhere on the web. This is especially compelling for bloggers.
As one example of how Snipi can work for you, Snipi was covered in The Wall Street Journal’s Mossberg Solution 48 hours after launch. WSJ’s focus was shopping, however, Snipi is for any interest and many purposes. Read the article here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124217141810712847.html
Thanks again for the support. We’re just getting started and we hope everyone enjoys what we’ve built. If any problems, questions, comments, or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you (good and bad). Please email us at support { at } snipi.com

Hi.
That’s a very cool list.
I would add those two very useful tools
1. http://www.html-pdf-converter.com – the name says it all.
2. http://www.pipejump.com – a super cool sales and opportunity management software.
Cool list, this is the first time I see these stuff
Topsy is very nice, thanks for that. It’s a great tool for tracking the lifespan of a link on Twitter, such as seeing who has RT’ed a specific article.
