Movable Type also has a free open source version of their software @ movabletype.org

Isn’t it crazy that one year ago, nobody thought myspace could be outpowered and now facebook is more popular than myspace - 90 million people!
Instant Messaging/Video Conferencing
Meebo
TokBox
Yahoo Live
RSS Readers
Google Reader
Netvibes
Bloglines
I’d also encourage another section on Webmail Applications. There are obvious contenders like Gmail and lesser-known options like Orgoo.
@davidrussell Persistence is a virtue
RSS readers - of course, how smart.
david s. - who do you work for?
I just found out Monitter, which looks to be better than Twitter Search (Summize).
secondbrain.com is like friendfeed. I don’t see that mentioned here.
monica
Monica - thanks, I’ll check it out (since I’ve never even heard of it!)
Willie - skipped you and also never heard of Monitter. Miss Summize; I loved their logo but now it’s all twitterized. Thanks for your addition.
Don’t forget GodTube.com
Actually, I would prefer to forget godtube.com if I could.
