A Week of Wonderful New Web Apps
Erik Larkin
If you haven't already seen Denny Arar's list of new Web apps (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,145094-page,1-c,webservices/article.html) she saw at this week's Web 2.0 Expo, be sure to take a look. I don't know about you, but the faster and faster pace of free service launches make me grin hugely even as my head spins.
Denny looks at six different sites and services, both fun and productive. Some allow for creating multimedia slide shows or Flash Web pages, while others offer document collaboration and online notebooks. She also checks out Intel's Mash Maker browser extension for creating your own mashup page, and a feature rich but quick-to-use file sharing and communications service.
After you get your fill on those hot properties, also check out Tom Spring's coverage of the Microsoft Live Mesh (http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006845.html), a new service announced Wednesday that allows for file sharing and synchronization across the Web, along with remote desktop access.
Finally, if you're not completely overwhelmed with the possibilities, hop over to TechCrunch for a look at a new online scheduling service that Erick Schonfeld seems to just love. He insists that you "stop what you are doing right now and go try Presdo."
