Kiva.org - fav app of the moment
Published June 7th, 2007 in Uncategorized, review, social entrepreneurship, web application and webapps.Just got into Kiva.org yesterday. I had seen it many times before, but really wanted to see the site pick up traction before I spent much time on it. Cut me some slack!

Easy Formatting - Screensteps picks two [...]

I never made it to GuruLib the first time around, and I'll have to admit up front it was the user [...]
I spend a lot of time each day reading about new web applications and innovations. Very seldomly do I come across anything useful. In a nice deviation from the standard routine I came across this bookmarklet a couple days ago:
From the Hall: GmailThis!
GmailThis! <– just drag this to your browser’s bookmark toolbar.

Yesterday, a good friend called and asked me what “must have freeware apps†should he know about for his brand new work laptop. After a good 4 or 5 years of full blown Windows power using dorkdom, I figured what better time to round up some of the apps that had a positive impact [...]
