26 New And Awesome Web Apps You Probably Don’t Know About

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.

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.

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!
