    Thanks for including Wrike in your list! By the way, we're releasing Wrike's Enterprise version next week. We're very excited about this fact! Here's a link to product blog post about it.

    By default students need and use free applications, thus I am recommending a free solution for managing and collaborating on their school projects called ProjectOffice.net. It has a very interesting and intuitive GUI what's important for every student.

    By the way I use and like: BibMe, Website Grader and SlideShare.

    the only problem with using validchecker.com is you need to make sure you check the validity of any blog or site with no content on it. Any sort of plugin, advertising, or script is likely to queer the whole thing.

    Also when checking wordpress themes on test blogs make sure you delete both defaults entries, Hello World (post) and About (page).

    VisualCV is better resume, online. Include video, pictures and a portfolio of your best work samples. Securely share different versions with employers, colleagues and friends, and control who sees what. Or create a wide-open version for the Internet and search visibility. And did we mention it's free?

    Hi,

    I wish you had included a recommendation for some seo tools for the web development. You know these days, you can't design a site without looking at some of these. It some time getting more important to customer that your webdesign is search engine optimized than looking wow. I hope you take that into consideration and add some of these to your hot list.

    Thanks,

    This is the most useful list of links I've encountered. Very nice for students and webmasters. Thank you for collection.
  • Shaun · 1 year ago
    I love lists like this! There's always things I've never seen before that rock. Maybe you could add http://psd2cssonline.com for the next one - a web application that converts PSD web designs to dynamic CSS/XHTML web pages in seconds.
  • Christopher Rees · 1 year ago
    Hi Shaun,
    I just checked out the site, looks like a very cool app! I'll definitely play around with it, and try building a site with it.

    Thanks again for the info on http://psd2cssonline.com

    Thank you for the great list. Many I have never heard of before. So now I have an even bigger list because I was collecting free webapps when I came upon your list! Did you mention zoho.com ? My favorite place for business and personal apps.

    Wow, the bibliography creator and the lecture database are very amazing, wish I found out about them sooner! Thanks for the post.

    One thing I stumbled upon recently that might fit into the business side of things was SpyderMate Free SEO Tools that runs an analysis on your company's web site and tells you who is linking to you and what you are targeting for search-engines. It helps for a business because you can run it on your competitors' sites too and see what they target and how they get business.

    Also, i am learning to use a site called My Intervals which combines features of Wrike, Smart sheet and Who's off with other features too.

    Another cool employee scheduling application. It has another approach to employee scheduling than rotaboard - reuse of weekly schedules and then the incredible auto-assign functionality - really saves you some trouble...
  • Christopher Rees · 4 months ago
    Thanks for the info.. I hadn't heard of that program, so I'll definitely check it out.
  • Rasmus · 4 months ago
