Project ROME from Adobe: rome.adobe.com/index.html
Publishing-type app which looks pretty good. Spent about an hour playing around with it. Doesn't support many export formats, but it's quick and free. Desktop app requires AIR, or you can use a fully functional web app.
Amazon AWS Free Usage Tier: aws.amazon.com/free
This is great news. I've been looking at the S3 service for a while now, but it was never a top priority as I get decent hosting deals with no space or traffic constraints. Still, hosting common image sets or framework scripts on another secure server is a good idea.
And that's just the S3 product. They are giving 12 months access to a bunch of their products.
If you don't understand the previous paragraph - this is remote storage on Amazon's servers and can be used for backups etc. using the likes of jungledisk.com or cloudberrylab.com
DropBox: www.dropbox.com
I'm surprised at how many people don't know about this great sync utility. Register, install a small app, drop files into your DropBox and enjoy syncing over your various devices, or go to the web interface to access all your synced files.
KeePass: keepass.info
Store all your passwords in this password safe. It can help generate very strong passwords and you only need one (just please, for the love of god, make it a very strong one) password to access your database.
Use this in conjunction with DropBox and you have your login details anywhere there is Internet access.

Originally posted by Daemon SinHave you actually used it? Looks like a nice product for such a small footprint.

The real burning question: Are you and I gonna re-purpose the Google Wave source code into Forum Wars II?

Originally posted by CrowleyYeah, I had a look at the Web App version. It does look very sleek and it seems quite easy to use. Ideal for people that don't want all the complexities of a full creative Suite product. Still wonder what Adobe are going to charge for it though.

Ha! That would be awesome.
