The Google Empire. I've recently moved my primary email from a hosted solution in the USA to Google Apps : Google mail, caleandar, docs etc just makes sense and cents. (The other place was cost me $16pm.)
While we're in G-land:
and of course
Who isn't on http://www.facebook.com?
Keep track of your business network on http://www.linkedin.com/.
http://twitter.com/ seems to be all the rage in some circles. I signed up ages ago, but with no-one to follow, no-one to follow me, and the need to be online to tell the world every time I pick my nose, it hasn't been much of a winner with me.
I tried http://posterous.com/ for a while too, but still no traction with me, although I do like it more than Twitter.
http://www.dailymugshot.com/ is a new one I found today. Sounds cool, and I'll give it a try.
A new website that's only gone live recently is http://gdgt.com/. Yep, gadgets!
The only place I keep bookmarks is on http://delicious.com/. There's no point keeping them on a local machine - I have 3 computers at home, 2 or more at work...
I haven't moved yet, but I'm very seriously thinking about creating a new website in www.SquareSpace.com. It offers stuff way beyond anything I've seen before in this domain -and remember I've written a couple of CMSs!
While Picasa is the place for the bulk of my photos, http://www.flickr.com/ has its uses too.
All of the above services are free, and I have accounts and use them - some more frequently than others. The only exception is SquareSpace. It's not free, and I only have a demo account at the moment. But it is so good I had to mention it!
But if there were to be only one that I could recommend it would be back to the Google Universe: http://www.google.com/reader/ For me this is the best, easiest way to read the headlines off 24 different sites every day. If more of you were signed up to it, I'd share all the intersting articles directly with you too.
