Miscellany

Although it's only early February I really have managed to find some excellent applications that are already bringing me satisfaction and pleasure in 2009. In no particular order they are:

1) Spotify - http://www.spotify.com - Unlike some of the music sites, this one really does make it possible to pin down and repeatedly play tracks easily.

2) Digsby - http://www.digsby.com - A great desktop application that enables me to monitor multiple email and messaging accounts (including Facebook and Twitter).

3) Posterous - http://www.posterous.com - an impressive site that will publish text, pictures, sound, video very easily (you simply email it) and will also update all the main blog and picture and social network sites for you.

4) Twittermail - http://www.twittermail.com/ - a valuable side-shoot to Twitter that enables you to do tweets longer than 140 characters provided that you don't put any paragraph breaks in your tweet text. (You email your unique Twittermail address with your long text.)

5) Mozy - http://www.mozy4free.co.uk/ - free, secure, encrypted, automatic, online backup for your important files. A fantastic service.

What have been your most interesting net discoveries this year? Do let me know.
