From time to time I come across a number of useful resources, and rather than bookmark them (never to be found again), I am putting them in my blog so I can search for them. This is one of those sets.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer:<\/strong> I have not checked all of these tools out myself as yet, so can’t give you an assessment.Note that most of the descriptions come from the websites themselves, so they tend to be a little ad-y.<\/em>
\n I have commented on the ones I have used.My comments are highlighted in green. While it may not be important for most people anymore, one aspect that is important to me is the ability to access and use the utilities offline. I live in the country and do not always have good bandwidth. Also, I think it’s a really BAD idea to put all your stuff out there in the cloud.<\/span>
