Not only that you can save harddisk space as they do not need to be installed, but also you can work with files that are saved online from any computer anywhere, without the need to carry a storage device even a USB stick around with you. Besides, you don't have to worry about different operating systems as these applications and services are cross-platform, running in your browser as a client. Neither do you need to keep updating your software versions, as you will get any new software updates and bug fixes automatically whenever you access them. Like to use them? Here we have compiled a list for best free online applications and services—click on related links or product logos and you can start using them right away. |

Your Best Free Online Download Manager - KeepVid - does not seem to be really free. I visited the site today hoping to download it when I noticed it says that one will need to purchase a licence before one can start using it; only the downloading seems to be free.
You're spot on Rajendra Rai. The program for Windows is not free, but it's totally free when you use its online download service without needing to install the program.
This article focuses on the online applications and services. With them, you don't need to download and install anything into your computer for using them—you just need to open up a browser and access them online.
http://www.yourdictionary.com/
This is the best online dictionary for me. It's uncluttered, clean and most importantly provide meanings that can be understood by any layman.
After trying typingstudy (in the speedtest department) I have found that some of the material don't work.
With some searching I've found that typeonline.co.uk is a fairly good ONLINE typing tutor. It simulates word processing in a more "natural" manner, allowing you to back-track and make corrections in your typing. Most other typing tutors don't allow you to do that once you hit the spacebar after typing a word.
One other thing I like about typeonline.co.uk is that I don't have to worry about cookies (I use Sandboxie FREE anyway) - something I try to minimise as much as possible. [This is why I haven't tried typingweb after reading their policy.]
Users in the USA will have to put up with the UK spelling of some words though - a small fee I think.
All in all, the most comprehensive typing tutor IMHO is Kiran's Typing Tutor. It's only drawback is it's not "online" meaning you have to sacrafice a bit of hard drive space.
Hello!
File Encryptor from Best Free Online File Encryption Utility is no longer availible.
Your feedback is appreciated Ivan. File Encryptor is now removed from the list and replaced with another online service Encryptur. Give it a try if that works for you.
Hi!
Notice: in "Home and Office / Best Free Online PDF Tools" category PDF Hammer is no longer available. Now Nitro PDF Professional is suggested at PDF Hammer's website.
Thanks for your feedback Arcedo. It's now removed from the list.
free image resizer is free and totally free and supports lots of formats. works not just on xp but also vista and win 7
freeimageresizer.net
This is not an online app or service, or is it?
I would like to suggest http://www.textslave.com/ . Thank You
I would like to suggest two sites for GPS mapping batchgeo.com and gpsvisualizer.com/
for your home office section.
In Home and Office, you should mention http://reminderguru.com which provides free reminders by email, sms or phone call -
There a a few more music streamers that need to be looked at and evaluated. I have attached the links. I'm biased on Sockso because of it's customization abilities. I have used all three in the past but I still currently use Sockso.

Thanks Pbouthil for the suggestions but the software products do not fit into this category of online apps and services as defined in the Introduction section.
Sorry. I thought I was under the right category.

Please add http://www.syscloudsoft.com//Free_Archive_Export_Google_App_Service.aspx
Its a free Google Apps archiving tool to archive and export all your Google Apps data including Gmail, GDoc, contacts, calendar and sites to your local PC.
I use to be a Gizmo member years ago until you partnered up with another organization. I loved your newsletters and so did miss them. I could not believe my luck when I came across your website. And from what I have seen so far you appear to be holding to your high standards. A true admirier of your dedication.
Here is a free pasting tool http://www.pasteit.in for debugging the code, similar to any other pastebin website but has support for all major languages syntax. The diff tool lets the programmer/debugger see what changes other user has made in the original code.
This may sound pretty self-centered of me, but have you guys tried Bob? It will fit perfectly under the education section of this site. It is a new site where students can go and ask for help or provide help to other students. But because it is new (less then a month old), there isn't much content on it yet.Stating that, it has had a promising start in my school. It's URL is [edited out]
The site has no content at all, and therefore won't be considered for inclusion here. Sorry.
Okay, I understand. I would just like you guys to keep it in mind, for when it has content. It is just a start up project. Thanks anyways.
Regarding the best PC Games catagory, I'd like to suggest you check out Kongregate,com. Ad-free, hundreds of games with badges and points awarded on many games. It's the best I've seen yet!
Wow!! What an awesome list. Thanks so much for all your time and hard work in putting this together. Much appreciated.
