215 software tools. No fees. No expiration dates. No problems. Sometimes even no downloads. No kidding.
They are divided into different categories

Blogging
Blogger
www.blogger.com
Web | Mobile
Blogger was one of the first blog-publishing tools. Years after Google bought it, it remains one of the best, especially for newbies. Create a brain-dead simple weblog and let Blogger host it (with a blogspot.com name) using the slew of provided templates, or use it to publish a blog on your own domain.
w.bloggar
www.wbloggar.com
Windows
This post and template editor can handle multiple blogs, across multiple blogging systems.
Windows Live Writer
get.live.com
Windows
Live Writer is not a word processor, but a universal, WYSIWYG blog-posting tool more powerful than most blog services' own tools.
WordPress
www.wordpress.com
Web
It lacks the simplicity of Blogger or Vox, but the commercial offshoot of WordPress.org offers some of the best tools of any hosted blogging service.
RSS Readers
Bloglines
www.bloglines.com
Web | Mobile
Keeping track of your daily Web news reading can be a nightmare. This Ask.com-owned news aggregator is one of the cleanest and most straightforward methods for keeping your RSS feeds under control, and the new beta version features a great new interface that steals some of the best features of Google Reader.
Google Reader

Instant Messaging
Meebo.com
www.meebo.com
Web
This polished Web app aggregates your AOL, Gmail, ICQ, Jabber, Windows, and Yahoo! buddy lists into a single, Web-based instant-messaging and chat-room experience.

Communication
GizmoProject
www.gizmoproject.com

Gizmo competes with Skype to offer free, peer-to-peer, over-the-Internet phone and video calls, but uses open standards.
Gmail
www.gmail.com
Web | Mobile
What to do with nearly limitless e-mail storage spacethat's the enviable quandary of Gmail users, who can store up to 5.5GB worth of e-mail and chats. And the amount is constantly growing. Other perks include advanced search options, real-time updates, and "conversations," in which e-mail chains are stored in one continuous thread for easy perusal.
Mail Redirect
addons.mozilla.org
Windows | MacOS | Linux
This add-on for Thunderbird lets you bounce a message to the proper recipient without revealing that you got the message first.

SightSpeed
www.sightspeed.com
Windows | MacOS

Wavosaur
www.wavosaur.com
Web
A low-price and low-profile audio editor, Wavosaur doesn't even need installation. Just click the executable to start processing and recording sounds. It lacks some of the features of full programs like Audacity, but for quick-and-dirty MP3 editing it can't be beat.
Audacity
audacity.sourceforge.net
This is a powerful audio editing/recording software package that doesn't require much training. It works on Linux, Mac, and Windows, and it handles many file types, including OGG, MP3, AIFF, AU, and WAV (but not WMA or AAC). Its features include 32-bit/96-KHz recording and editing (up to 16 channels), independent speed and pitch control, noise removal, a spectrogram mode, and tons of built-in effects. But it's also perfect for quick recordings and editing long files.
Media Monkey
www.mediamonkey.com
A robust digital music player for organizing, ripping, burning, converting, and playing your tunes, Media Monkey also has smart tagging, Auto DJ, and a Party Mode that lets you make requests without modifying the library. The free standard version gives you most features but limits MP3 encoding and slows the burn rate. The Gold version is $19.95.
dBpowerAMP Music Converter
www.dbpoweramp.com
This do-it-all program for Microsoft Windows lets you rip CDs, convert files, and record audio. It supports MP3, MP4, M4a, WMA, OGG, AAC, APE, FLAC, Apple Lossless, and more. This app integrates with Windows, so you can simply right-click on a file to convert it.
CDex
sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos
CDex is a CD-ripping and file-conversion app for the extremely picky. It includes many different encoders, including LAME MP3, Fraunhofer MP3, MP2, APE, OGG, WMA, WAV, VQF, and FAAC. It also has jitter correction for error-free CD ripping and works with the CDDB database.
