Google Play Music - my favorite music collection service. Same price as Spotify ($10/month), but with the bonus of being able to upload 50,000 of your own song files (for any oddball music you have that isn't in their collection) as well as YouTube Red. Generally less buggy and doesn't have Spotify's streak of weird/terrible software design choices. (there's a script for porting your playlists over from Spotify: https://github.com/rckclmbr/pyportify https://github.com/rckclmbr/pyportify ) Tweetdeck - I'll bet a lot of people on HN already use it, but to any Twitter users still using twitter.com instead of Tweetdeck, I highly recommend giving it a shot. The abundance of information on screen will be overwhelming at first, but give it a day or two, and your brain figures out how to make sense of it and love it. Pushbullet - Receive and write text messages from your PC via Chrome extension. Receive push notifications for just about anything. I combine it with IFTTT to receive alerts for RSS feeds of blogs and comics I like (my recipes if anyone's curious: https://ifttt.com/p/oxguy3/shared https://ifttt.com/p/oxguy3/shared ).
