The Freelancer’s Toolset: 100 Web Apps for Everything You Will Possibly Need : Codswallop
My personal picks:
- igoogle
- Netvibes: Spend
less time searching and more time working by customizing your
browser’s start page with email, feeds, messaging, job boards and
much, much more. - Google Calendar:
Google Calendar is a web based tool that allows users to organize their
schedule, so you’ll always know exactly what you need to be
working on. - Ta-da List:
When you’re busy with lots of projects, it can be hard to keep
track of what you’ve accomplished. Make web-based ta-da lists for
yourself or other people, then share them and check items off as you go. - XE: If
you’re working with an overseas client, you may need to handle
foreign currencies. Use XE’s currency converter for accurate
calculations with up-to-the-minute currency rates. - Xdrive: Xdrive offers 5GB of online storage. Use their service to share files with your clients and coworkers
- Picasaweb: Because Photos are taken to share :)
- Box: Create an online file-sharing location for you and your clients on Box
- LinkedIn: The convenient and powerful professional contacts management... for lifelong
- ConceptShare:
ConceptShare provides online design collaboration. Invite clients and
coworkers to view your design and make comments on your work. - Writeboard: Have
you ever had a client or coworker revise a document and end up wiping
out your work? Use Writeboard to share and collaborate while saving
separate versions each step of the way. - stock.xchng: Add
photos to your writing or web design at low or no cost. stock.xchng
provides tons of stock photos, many of them royalty-free. - Google Docs & Spreadsheets:
Don’t bother spending hard-earned money for the latest version of
MS Word. Create, upload, share and edit word and spreadsheet documents
online using Google Docs & Spreadsheets. - Meebo:
Don’t miss out on a client just because you don’t use the
same instant messaging tool. Get access to every major messaging
service on Meebo’s website without having to download anything. - FaxZERO: Online
communication is popular, but sometimes you just have to send a fax.
But who wants to invest in a fax machine and phone line for something
that happens only on a rare occasion? Instead, use FaxZERO to send a
fax anywhere in the US or Canada for free. - K7: FaxZERO lets you send
out a fax for free online, but what if a client wants to fax something
to you? Enlist the help of K7, a service that assigns users a phone
number that accepts fax and voicemail messages, which are then sent to
your email.
