Chiming in a bit late as usual for me . Most Web 2.0 sites are blocked at work, but with my ptsrmahone, a lot of these tools are accessible from anywhere. It’s amazing to me how much I rely on my phone these days (Motorola Milestone/Droid). Tools I’ve paid for are starred (*).Delicious.com wrangles my work and personal bookmarks.RoboForm* remembers my passwords when I don’t.Astrid Tasks* for Android keeps me on track.Dropbox shares my files and Mozy* backs them up; Lookout* backs up my phone.Google Docs is where most of my documents live. It allows email upload perfect since the site is blocked. I also use pretty much everything Google, all the time. Google owns me.Quickoffice* for Android lets me create and edit MS Office files from my phone. With Swype, this is much easier than it sounds. Quickoffice syncs with Dropbox and Google Docs.Google Reader collects work and personal reading material.Springpad is my note-taking app of choice on both phone and computer, and it syncs automatically.Twitter is fun and useful but somewhat overwhelming; I find it easier to follow important things on Google Reader.I am on Facebook but only on sufferance.Flavors.me is a good free personal site creator.
