Here’s what I was using in January 2007. Not a lot has changed. The major change is that I’m using a lot of these apps on my iPhone instead of a PC. Here’s the update.
- Flickr (new, much heavier usage these days, primarily on PC)
- Read It Later (new, I use it on my iPhone and PC)
- Google Maps (new, use as default on iPhone)
- AIM (new, use it on my iPhone only)
- Facebook (new, much heavier usage these days on both PC and iPhone)
- PB Wiki (new, prior wiki – Schtuff – was bought by PB Wiki, use on PC)
- Delicious (no change, primarily on PC)
- Google Personalized Home Page (no change, primarily on PC)
- Linkedin (no change, primarily on PC)
- Meebo (no change, use on PC only)
- Microsoft Outlook Web Access (no change, PC only)
- Wells Fargo Online Banking (no change, primarily on PC)
- WordPress through Yahoo Web Hosting (no change, primarily on PC)
- Yahoo Mail (no change, though also using on both PC and iPhone)
- Yahoo Maps (no change on PC)
Deletions from the list:
- Match.com and Yahoo Personals (I haven’t used any online dating apps in over a year.)
- Yahoo Briefcase (killed by Yahoo, I miss it)
One obvious omission from this list is Twitter. I don’t like Twitter. I don’t see the necessity to tweet everything I do or to see what everyone else is doing at all times. It seems like a waste of time. Anything good eventually ends up in the media, in someone’s blog, or on Facebook. I have the patience to wait for this to happen.
