Seven Web Applications that I can’t live without

Listed in alphabeticallyWeb Apps

Deskaway

I have to admit, I was a faithful Basecamp user for about 4 years. In my opinion it offered the best web project management solution on the web. After reading many reviews and testing many online project management services I decided on Deskaway and I am very happy with their customer service and prices and feature set. I can manage multiple projects and training my client to use it has been very easy. They give on their web site the 10 reasons why you should switch to Deskaway.

Google Apps

Gmail, Docs, Reader, Bookmarks, you name it Google has a solution. If Google ever went out of business many people would be in disarray. What did we do before Google? It seems kind of scary that a company that can compete on so many levels. The google suite of apps is truly a lifesaver.

Go to meeting

This is an application that I use to schedule demos, trainings and for tech support. I love it because it is truly cross platform and I rarely have trouble with their service. It’s easy to conduct on-the-fly or scheduled presentations with a prospective customer, perform live demonstrations in real time, collaborate on documents with your colleagues and provide training to customers and employees.

iContact

If you have a business like me you want to send email newsletters. There are so many vendors to choose from and I have tried almost all of them, and I have found that iContact based out of Durham, North Carolina, has a great feature set at an affordable price. At one level all the email services can start to look similar, but the customer service and response time of iContact has made them a clear winner in my book.

Log me in

About a year ago when I started my new job I had a dilemma, the television server kept crashing and I didn’t want to run down to the station to fix it. And to make matters worse when they installed the TV server it was running Microsoft Vista (major fail). A friend told me about Log me in and I have told my colleagues about it and we all are raving fans. I use the pro version of this software allows me to login from anywhere 24/7 to make changes and better yet, I can even use the app on my iPhone.

Mobile Me

This is a service from Apple that integrates well if you are a Mac user, and even PC users can back up and upload files to Mobile Me. It can get rather expensive, but I use it for hosting files and backups. iDisk makes it easy to store and share files online so you can access them anytime from any computer, or even from your iPhone. iDisk also lets you share files that are too big to email.

You Send It

Let’s face it, the more we work the larger our file sizes have become. Most corporate email accounts limit 5MB sending and other services like Gmail which has a 25MB sending limit. This is where You Send It comes in. It is a rock solid application that has various plugins that work from applications. You can even set up a drop box for people to send you large files.

What are the web applications that you can’t live without? Or the applications that if you didn’t use it would make your workflow more difficult?

I like Deskaway and I am loving the desktop app for You Send it, sending files is so much easier and very reliable.
