This page is about free web applications you can use without downloading anything OR paying anybody. Can be very handy especially if you travel a lot.
FIRST YOU MAY WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING
Airset – FREE, Paid Upgrades
Online ‘Computer’ for individuals, groups, organizations, A storehouse of freebies. Can also send info to your phone as a reminder. Free sites, blogs, calendars and much more. Focuses on individuals, groups, schools etc. Almost anything you desire can be found here. Better organized now into cloud computers but you may find it a bit confusing at first. But it IS an amazing warehouse of products!
Ning allows you to create or discover already-created social networks. Very aesthetically pleasing templates. http://www.ning.com/
Posterous is the dead simple place to post anything by email. Great for first time bloggers.

Slideroll allows you to make slideshows that you can use to create slide shows with your photos. Publish your slideshows on the internet, put them on MySpace or YouTube, and e-mail them to friends.
You can add music and various effects. You can publish to Video for DVD or YouTube with the Slideroll Videomaker, which can turn your slideshows into video that you can use for your DVDs, or upload to YouTube.

Needless to say almost everything is covered. And almost without exception they are all free unless you need premium features which have a graduated price list as you need to use more and more features.
However I have never had to pay them anything except compliments!
SECOND: ART & GRAPHICS
PicasaWeb – FREE – Can upgrade to paid if you need more space.
Store your photos online and share them as desired or not. Works great with Picasa software. Just click the “Upload to Web” link and wait. Together, Picasa & Picasa Web Albums make it easy for you to organize and edit your digital photos, then create online albums to share with friends, family & the world. Slideshows, downloads, prints and more.
Sumopaint is an amazingly comprehensive online painter program. You can paint, edit, insert text, use layers. I believe that it is the fastest, most creative and powerful paint program on the web.
Animoto was created by TV and film producers. It analyzes your images, feels your music, and then customizes a video. I have not used it but the demo is very professional and I am eager to try it. I own Photodex Proshow which is excellent. But this is certainly worth a try for those not wanting to purchase and install software. Looks very simple. If you try it, please comment below. http://animoto.com/
THIRD: YOU MAY WANT A HOME ON THE WEB FOR YOUR STUFF
Blogger
by Google is a free EASY blogging community. I have about 20 plus blogs, all on different topics. The goodies you can add are easy and tremendous. Plus it also allows connection to Google’s other apps.
Famundo
is a more family-oriented social networking spot where you can connect with family, friends and organizations. It looks much classier than Facebook. Recommended by Family Circle, Canadian Family, Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Day, Geeksugar, Real Simple Life Hacker and more. Once it becomes known families may move here from Facebook for the family style networking [without, I assume, the sexy ads]. See it at http://www.famundo.com/
WEBS
Webs.com [formerlyFreewebs] Another unbelievable free and upgradable-to-paid site to do a website in an easy way without coding. Too many freebies to mention. Can add PayPal ecommerce and sell and much more.
YOLA
Yola.com bills itself as a site – where you’ll find all the tools you need to build a website just the way you want. Point and click. Drag and drop. That’s all you need to know. Amazingly enough, you can build and host your website for free. That’s Yola.
ZOHOWIKI
- I always found wikis very confusing even though I have created many websites and blogs. This makes WIKI simple. Can be used only as an easy website for yourself, your family or a group.
Much more coming ….
