Worthwhile Websites
Pandora - Internet Radio
For those who can stream music at their job, at home or through your iPhone! The best thing about this site is how it selects music for you. All you do is put in your favorite song or band and it will start playing music of similar kind. The quality is great by comparison with XM Radio's online music.
reQall - To Do List
Pronounces like "recall", there are a few things that make this site great for your "to do" list.
1. Available on the iPhone and on their website and they stay in sync.
2. They have a buddy list so you can assign a to do item to your buddies. My example: I remember while at work that we are out of toothpaste. I can whip out my iPhone and speak or type, "Toothpaste - have Stephanie buy some today." (I can do this on the website too.) What then happens, reQall recognizes "buy" and puts the to do item in the "Shopping List" and also recognizes that I have Stephanie in my buddy list so it puts the request in Stephanie's "Shopping List" too!
3. Amazing flexibility to remind you of the things you have put in reQall. Email, Instant Messenger and text messaging. Get reminded in one or all of these ways!
Clipperz - Online Password Manager
Please read this! The title of this one is a little deceptive. Imagine a website you could go to that had a collection of all your personal information you need to remember about you, your spouse, your children and anyone else, knew all your user IDs and passwords for all the websites you were registered with and with a single click of a link could take you to that site and log you in! This is exactly that site. My mind is no longer cluttered with trying to remember all my passwords and IDs. This site even allows you to generate strong passwords for everything. I feel more secure with this site in my website toolbox!
Google Reader
Ever wonder how people keep track of all the information in the world? This is how!!! Careful, once you figure this site out, you will be hooked! You will need a Google account to gain access to this. If you don't already have one, you have no business surfing the web anyway! :-)
PageOnce - Internet Personal Assistant
This is as the call it, "Your Internet, Your Way". It is a collection point for all the websites you want to monitor. My example: American Express, Chase Bank, Facebook, Gmail, Netflix, etc. It is available through the web, your iPhone and your Blackberry! Caution, I knew about my birthday present well before it was given to me... What can I say, I'm connected!
Delicious
Have you ever not saved something to your favorites because you never thought you would find it again...or because it was too much trouble to remember to go back and read or reference something? Yes, me too. Have you ever saved a favorite at work and then wanted to look at it from home but didn't have access to your work favorites so you had to search for it again? Yep, me too. Well, stop it! Use Delicious and get your favorites from anywhere. As an added benefit, you can see what others are saving like yours to maybe find some little gems you didn't know were there!
Hope you enjoy these websites. I know I have!
