Your top productivity web apps?

2 points by deyan 18y ago

Everyone keeps talking about web apps and how great they are. But I keep wondering: how many people use them, which web apps do they use, which ones have actually replaced their desktop alternative? How close are we to using productivity web apps in a mainstream fashion? So, what do you think? What web apps do you use in your work routine? Which web apps have beaten their desktop alternatives?

Firefox + leechblock + http://nowdothis.com http://nowdothis.com jottit.com (better than Vim, OpenOffice, MovableType or Google Docs for compiling a set of notes about a subject over time. See http://nixcommands.jottit.com http://nixcommands.jottit.com for an example) http://tmedweb.tulane.edu http://tmedweb.tulane.edu, sort of a corner case, but I think there might be a lot of room for this sort home-spun productivity site for a few hundred people.

I use adsotrans.com for Chinese-English translation support. Collaborative translation support tools that don't screw around with grammar are great.

just wanted to add that in the past two days numerous announcements have been made about developments in the saas marketplace - especially from Microsoft with their new OS as well as browser-based office apps.
