THE LATEST REVIEWS

Joyent

We've tried Joyent as part of our research for web-based CRM, which included at least 20 reviews and test-drives. It's very good overall but our main requirement was email integration with CRM, and they didn't get it quite right.

Stumbleupon

Bookmarking
For me switching to an online bookmarking tool (though stumbleupon is more than this) was an immense relief. Bookmarking was selecting to bookmark and then selecting a category which fit (often poorly).
Now all I have to do is click the thumbs-up. Almost any time I want to rate a site another user has been there before and tagged it. Therefore it goes into my favorites in the correct location. If I do happen to visit a site first then I get to know that I'm helping other people not to have spend energy in the future.
Unfortunately stumbleupon does keep your favorites. I haven't seen a way to export them.
I tried using other services such as del.icio.us but found them more cumbersome.

Stumbling
Stumbleupon is mainly built for stumbling- visiting sites that other people have approved of. I haven't done as much of this but when I have I've found that the sites it suggests are entertaining.

MapQuest

I use Mapquest on a daily basis as I while away the boring hours at my grinding soul-sucking job. I imagine living in other places and working at other jobs. Mapquest is an invaluable tool that I use to fill in the fantasy parts of my daydream of what my commute would be like, or how long it would take to visit my grandparents from my new imaginary residence. It also gives good party directions.

Wufoo

Wufoo rules, plain and simple. Takes just a few minutes to create a form and configure it's attributes. The only drawback is that it makes me agonize over hundreds of dollars we've paid to our graphic designer to hand-code the forms most of which to this day have errors (well, not anymore they ain't because we dumped them).

Trumba

I've been using Trumba since it was in beta. Back then, and until recently, it was a good choice for individual users.

However, in the past several months, it appears that Trumba has rebranded itself and is focusing exclusively on the enterprise market. The cheapest available plan listed on their website costs $100 a month!

As a user who paid less than that for a whole year, I'm enjoying it for now (I especially like the Outlook synchronization). But I guess I'll be looking for a new calendar solution once my subscription expires...
