Bandwagon
Spread the word I guess I'm not one of those people that jump on the first bandwagon that comes by (and I have been kicking myself for not signing up for Google Analytics when it came out...by the way, anybody knows what's up with those invitation codes? Been waiting for mine for ages...), but I recently took it upon myself to check some of the web 2.0 apps a bit closer. And I'm loving every minute of it :) But lets take it one step at a time. These are some of the apps that have...

My dictionary is called Google
As you might have noticed, english is not my native language. I know it shows, so don't even try to make it easier on me :) So in order to get the spelling right I use a dictionary (a computer one, don't worry :)). Most of the time I can remember the words I'm looking for, I just can't get the spelling right. In comes Google and It's ability to correct your search when you've made a mess of things. I love that 'did you mean' phrase google uses to suggest that you might have misspelled...
