The web is chock full of fantastic tools you can use for free. Some consist of downloads to run on your computer, but many are in the âcloudâ meaning you can use the tools on the web itself without downloading any proprietary installed programs.
Google has at least two of the best free web user programs. Google Docs is a great online word processing, spread sheet making, and general office type tool that is totally online. You can create, edit and save any type of document. Docs also allows you sot set up sharing so others can view, edit and save the docs you choose to share.
Google Earth is the second of their free programs that is truly awesome. This one you download, free, and then you can view almost any place in the world with satellite photographs, maps, topography and much more.
Flickr is a popular and well thought out photo site. Upload photos for free to share them with anyone. Organize albums and edit the descriptions and titles. The only thing lacking here is a full photo editing suite. That is something you can find at the next free web program, Pixlr. This site lets you edit any digital photo online without even registering. Tweak your photos and have fun changing them.
A favorite for music lovers is online radio Pandora. This is more than radio, it lets you pick a musician or song you like, and then it will play their music and bring up similar artists and songs for you to hear. If you like these songs click thumbs up if not thumbs down. Pandora will shape what it plays for you and remember your choices next time. You can set up many different âstationsâ all free.
There are 5 Best Free Stuff on the Web, enjoy!
