A few Web 2.0 sites

Ok Ok I know its been a while since I listed some of the Web 2.0 sites I have been using. So here goes.

BTW silly logo below created with the Web 2.0 v2 Logo Creator

I have claimed before that I dig and frequently use NetVibes and popurls and can highly recommend them both, I particularly like Netvibes for the feed aggregation and popurls is just a quick way to get the buzz.

I just recently started to use CrazyEgg to heat map this blog and for stats.

I can honestly say eyespot has come in handy, just more power than I thought I'd ever see in a web ui. Video, Photo, Music editing.

I also recently discovered Squirl which is perfect for anyone with a collector mentality track anything you want easily from albums to cards to coins to three toed sloths.

I am also crazy about the GoogleNotebook extension for Firefox.

I also need to make a pitch for my local install of Tracks which is a Ruby on Rails implementation of Getting Things Done. I survive on the (10+2)*5 Procrastinators hack...savior

Update:

Other Start Pages besides NetVibes - protopage, goowy, pageflakes

Knock Knock - excellent and cool pads, wheels, stickies, and stationary

Why could I not find this invention when my son was born?

These little doodads... Lullabub ...are remote controlled and rock the entire crib gently in 4 user selected motions (simulation of a car ride, boat, womb, or mothers heartbeat) which if you are not a parent, there is this amazing correlation to car rides and the immediate soothing of children. Basically baby wakes up and is not hungry or requiring a change, hit the button and they are rocked back to sleep.....genius. Anyone know if it actually works? If so please comment.
