I saw Goowy a while ago and didn't think much of it because I'm such a big Google user (personal home page, Gmail, calendar, etc....). On my vacation though, I listened to a podcast with the founder of Goowy, and came away impressed with what the Goowy people were doing with this application. It's a lot of things rolled into one interface, including: instant messaging, email (2GB), calendar, contacts, online file storage (1GB),  a personal start page and even a bunch of games. Goowy looks like it might be a good site for people who want to keep everything in one place. I will probably stick with what I have, but if it interests you, why not give it a tryout?
ThinkFree looks pretty interesting. It's a free online office application that is Microsoft compatible and offers sharing of documents. I've always used a desktop office suit (MS Office or OpenOffice), but the online office idea has some appeal also (always being able to access your content from any computer). Hmmm, worth taking a look at.
Tech Crunch has a good little post about simple, online, to do lists. I've written about some of them before, but the one that I somehow missed, voo2do, is worth taking a look at. It's more of a mini project management application than just a simple to do list. It looks like it should be very good for simple management of multiple projects. Oh yea, it's available for free!
