Thank you for your efforts to compile the list.
Yes, I did not know that there are so many more and very useful ones.
Thanks,
Dan Gabriel
These are all shit
Several of these appear to use flash. A quick consult of the World Wide Web Consortium’s web site reveals that flash actually isn’t a web standard. So, it would be best to describe these as “flash apps” as to not cause confusion.
This is an amazing list!
Thank you
Great list, thank you!
Check out SnappyStuff.com. Cool website for buying,seeling, exchange over multipple social networks including myspace, facebook, craigslist
The title should have read 3/26 kindof cool web applications.
Thank you for this list! I’ve found at least a half dozen apps that I’ve signed up for and will try. Not just for fun, but very applicable to my work.
Some of these seem moderately useful, although they do all appear to be JS.
Fliggo and Anyvite are awesome. Burn in hell evite.
Hey! You forgot to mention SoRelated.com! I just moved, so I use it everyday. It’s a great little site to keep in touch with your family if you live a long ways away.
Why are there so many w@nkers in the world (I’m referring to the negative comments above).
Thanks for this – Prezi looks amazing and I’m sure tinychat will come in useful.
does the world really need more annoying signature lines? ugh.
Yes thanks for this list. I am going to look into some of these applications.
Some good stuff here. Boo to the negative comments above.
I started using the app http://www.myFontbook.com to view my fonts for design work.
Good list – was kinda hoping SlideSix.com would have made the cut. Maybe next time!
Friendpaste is new and awesome?
Pastebin.com, been around 7 years. I will admit Friendpaste has a few new languages for highlighting, but it is nothing really “new” or revolutionary.
What about JYGY? Create your own mobile polls (ala American Idol), and broadcast messaging? They have a FB app too.
Nice list, I’ll definitely be using whspr! in the near future.
You missed out Animoto – a really impressive video production tool.
Great list!
Check out Veoh Video Compass browser add-on. It surfaces videos related to whatever you’re searching for on Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Amazon, Craigslist, Wikipedia, eBay and many more sites. You can play the videos in place without leaving the page.
I just found nicetranslator.com which is great!
Thank you for sharing!
Great list. I must admit I think Yidio, Wix and Tinychat are actually very useful tools.
I always wonder how this sites will make money.
The first clones of TinyChat are already available see http://chatsoftwarescript.com.
@Ian Yeh I think the easiest way for Tinychat to make money is to have a rotating ad script somewhere at the top of the page.
Also worth mentioning is http:krumlr.com Krumlr lets you bookmark pages and tweet about them to Twitter in a single step using a handy toolbar link.

Ah, I love people who think they know what they’re talking about but clearly have no idea. So what is it kids? Flash or JS?
Andrew:
And look, you’re the douche that’s bothered to stick around long enough to read it. If you don’t like it, foad.
Johnny:
Get off of your fucking high horse. It’s an app, it’s on the web. Gee, look, it’s a _webapp_. If you want I can also start throwing W3C citations and look like a knowitall.
Chris:
And, your point?
Paul:
If it’s so offensive, just stop reading and go back to your hole.
PS: yes, I posted this anonymously because I wanted to have a rant and don’t won’t stupid kids with nothing better to do following me around. Deal with it.
Decent list. Thanks
Will definitely check these out. Was disappointed about Wix, the concept is awesome but as always there’s a catch – you have to host with them and let them put banners on your created flash unless you pay an upgrade fee.
http://www.dailybooth.com
best website ive found in ages.
Great list. I only heard about 1/3 of those.
Thanks!
Awesome list of tools. I see at least 4 I can use. Thanks!
We are hoping to add lists like this every week to actually show our readers more useful tools that are hitting the web on a daily basis.
Nice list! Definitely use these.
Wow – I thought I kept up to date with new applications but there are quite a few here that are new to me. So much for my plans for today, I can’t resist going to take a look at some of them and trying them out.
I am subscribing to make sure I read your weekly lists and I may even be adding you to FeedWeaver
I have been looking for an aggregator like this but not found any I like so far
Good list. keep up the good work
Great list. Read through it all now. Finally done. Keep up the good work.
Yay! This list is awesome and I had already heard of Prezi!
I guarantee you haven’t heard about my web app
Too bad it didn’t make the list.
Great list. Thanks… Keep em comming….
Thank your for sharing this list. I find the wix.com very useful.
Thank you
Thanks for the great list, can’t wait to really check them all out.
Perry Belcher sent me here from Twitter. May I recommend you find out if you can get an affiliate link for all these, cos you may be missing out big time.
Have a great day
Cheers

thanks for your compilation – very interesting list of none the less useful online-apps…
Good list. I’ll throw in http://www.pixlr.com/ , many picture filters, clone tool, and keyboard commands that work. The magic of ajax.
Another great site: SendToPerson.com (link) is the best way to send files.. send very large files for free in a easy, secure, and reliable way.
Markkit shows up in my WOT with dangerous warning. Rest are awesome. thanks for sharing
Nice list of apps. I especially like Pizap. I think my grandkids and I will have a lot of fun with that. I also appreciated some of the links in the Comments, including Pixlr.com. Thank you for a great resource
This was very helpful. I have gone to some of the sites and am investigating further. Thanks for preparing this list.
Thanks Hiten
This is a great list. I would add Tynt Tracer to the list because with it you can find out exactly what people are copying from your site. This is hugely important for a blogger and any site that generates content.
You may also check out http://www.GoalsOnTrack.com, a very nicely built web app designed for tracking goals and todo lists, and has time tracking. It’s clear, focused, easy to navigate, worth a try.
Prezi is a dialectical step forward in presentation methods. It will be groundbreaking for explaining complex systems to ordinary folks.
Markkit sends the URL, title and maybe contents of the pages you use it on to a server that presumably saves them. I wouldn’t trust it; it looks like a phishing attempt.
walla süper..
I agree with the negative comments. These apps are all useless. You can do half this stuff more easily anyway using other, long existing methods. They are trying to capitalise on the wave of success “web-apps” have been experiencing lately. The reason nobody has heard of these is because nobody is listening out for such shit. I bet all you positive commenters are middle aged hipsters.
wow i love posting comments on this website, everyone else is a moron!!!
Great list,
I like mufin. I use playlist.com and grooveshark for my listening-to-music-online needs but mufin gives videos too.
Tinychat seems cool too. Might give it a go.
Backup url looks useful if you have a website. I use web.archive.org to see websites that no longer exist like http://www.midnightsociety.com.
Keep up the good work!
Hate to be negative – but these are actual shit
pretty cool gotta say. margins are way off though. i could use some of these for my business. im a finacial expert working in lincoln, ca. jordan horn 916 412 1180
wow indeed these were 26 tools i did not know about…for a very good reason
Specially useful: Tinychat, keepHD and WobZIP – these are a handful indeed! Thanx for the tip!
I found some concerning testimonies about Ziddu over at Web of Trust/WOT, mentioning the site is engaged in malware distribution. I registered and uploaded a bunch of stuff and had no problem at all. But it concerns me that I registered under a boggus e-mail address and Ziddu didn’t even require authentication! That definetely can’t be safe.
@olivia That is very concerning about Ziddu. Normally ever service needs an email confirmation so that bots cant just signup.
Great lists!
Thanks for sharing!
This is going to help me a lot
I tried out sigpad and now I can’t figure out how to “undo” it! The website has no help section…I’m pretty pissed off. My bad.
Love it,thanks!Keep them coming!
Superb flash presentation and page making softs……….never knew about them, thanx
Hi,
Great apps – i hadn’t heard of any of them. I’ve bookmarked about 3 of them and also a few others that other people mentioned. So great list of useful apps.
This is a cool list just to see what others are doing, but I agree that most of these use flash, a major downside to a web app. But still we can all draw some inspiration from these and thanks for posting.
@matthew: most of these use flash, a major downside to a web app.
So, uh, what’s the alternative?
Great apps – i hadn’t heard of any of them. I’ve bookmarked about 3 of them and also a few others that other people mentioned. So great list of useful apps.

Thanks for your efforts. good info. i like online alarm clock app
applications were good…
Most of the time when i stumble i only ever find thing that entertain me BUT this list is probably the most useful list i have found so thanks for putting it together.
(legend)
all of these apps are shit. I mean sure maybe creating ur own private chatroom would come in handy….actually no, that will never come in handy, u know why? because there are things like msn…….. face it these all suck!
these are a good list that make me have to bookmark it
thanks
Some excellent web apps there. Not all are useful for me but I love TinyChat.
simply wonderful. Thank you so very much:)
just let love be

I really do think that these Web Apps are not only going to be useful to me, but to all of my friends as well. Thank you for the insight.
I must say that i’m online about 10-12 hours per day, reading blogs, searching the net and i’ve never came up to any of the sites you have posted here. Some really cool and usefull stuff, thanx for this post.
So glad I stumbled onto your site! Gotcha bookmarked so I can come back. I haven’t heard of any of these apps. (obviously I should spend more time learning instead of playing on the internet?) But, I’m going to check them all out. Thanks for sharing!
Nice list lot of info and all are useful links you added Thanks !
Not a single one of these is useful to me. They all remind me of a solution looking for a problem.
nice list….maybe you can submit too hulu and sidereel.com
Thanks for the effort. As an older Mechanical Engineer, I appreciate people (Geeks) finding these useful applications so that I may save my time searching and, instead, use my time to put some of them to use
@ Andrew. It’s a shame that people with a limited vocabulary such as yourself are allowed to comment on this or any other web sites. Perhaps you should go back to school and instead of of sleeping in class, listen and learn. There actually are descriptive words in the English language that have more than four letters, really, seriously, there are many.
only one i thought would be any good was the rapidshare one and it didnt work lol FAIL
thanks for the info, KeepHD and TinyChat were very useful.
nice info, what i know is only ziddu. must try another web apps.
This list is poppin! Consider yourself bookmarked my friend!
Dude thats amazing! Tinychat totally rocks man. Wow.

Hey good work ,I know also Mosite a Free flash CMS web 2.0 to create Flash websites and animations
here the link http://www.mosite.org/ and a video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ZjbOTd4YI
bye
great idea..i like it..
There’s also a new web app that helps you discover the degrees of separation between you and everyone in the world: http://www.digrii.com
You can search people everywhere in the world on a map at digrii will tell you your degree of separation with them and much more!
Thanks, great list! I used to be on tiny chat, but recently going to stargazer free video chat. I like chatting on facebook also.
Great post, and great website. Thanks for the information!
outstanding submit! great assistance, will take on board!
Great list; another cool one I just learned of is yTunes (www.y-tunes.com).
yTunes is a free online media player with a similar interface to iTunes (e.g. drag & drop, cover flow, play lists etc…) except it sources its content from YouTube instead of from your hard drive.
Using yTunes, you can play a video, search for more, create a play list, drag your favorite results into it, comment on a video and share your play list with facebook and twitter friends; all without interrupting the currently playing video.
I read a couple of your other posts and wanted to say thanks.
Awesome, Thank for making such an informative post
It has many web apps out there but few of them are not good enough for such features.
check http://www.mysurveylab.com , collaborative on-line survey system , great user interface and rich functionality
Thanks, I don’t know anything of these apps!!!!
