Q: What are the best web applications you’ve seen?

That’s it. Since we talked about Web 2.0 briefly today, the question is:

What are the best web applications you’ve seen recently?

Some of my answers:
* www.nowthen.com – Collect your history starting from today by emailing the site cell phone pictures of yourself and short text messages.
* I like myspace for musicians.
* Blogs, blogs, and more blogs. I’m a fan of great blogs. Dave Seah, Kathy Sierra, Evelyn, Alvin, Chris, Dave Shearon, Anna, Seth, Logic+Emotion, ConsumingAmbitions, news at PPND, SharpBrains, Cognitive Daily, photo of the day.

What do you think?!?! :)

  1. Hmm… right up my alley with this question :) My favorite/best Web 2.0 applications that I have actually found useful…

    > Basecamp (www.basecamphq.com) is great for project management/collaboration
    > Flickr (www.flickr.com) as a backup of my photos, and for sharing photos with friends/family…
    > Google Calendar (calendar.google.com) … hands down the best web calendar I’ve ever used. It’s even better now that I can use it with my own domain as well! :)

  2. Chris, speaking of calendar, I am a very big fan of gmail. I do IM there. I like how it stores and displays messages. I like my rss feeds across the top. When I email a friend about a meeting, it offers to put that in calendar and to map that for me. I like how it connects – not just me and my applications but also me and friends.

  3. Hey, I made your list! :)

    I luuuurrve Gmail, it kicks all other mail apps’ asses hands down. If you haven’t already, I’d turn you to Google Analytics, free webstats for your blog.

  4. Thanks Senia for the mention! :-)

    I really like Flickr because it creates a new way of meeting interesting people and ideas. The UI and web parts are pretty cool too, but it’s how Flickr takes an ubiquitous kind of media—photos—and creates a nuturing environment where everyone can share and form groups. It’s really quite astonishing. It’s probably my favorite Web 2.0 app period. I also like and use Basecamp, but it feels a little too nickel-and-dimey to me. However, I continue to pay for it because it’s a solid product, albeit one that doesn’t quite deliver that “ooo” feeling anymore.
