At the beginning of each year I traditionally publish a list of my favorite startups and products. This is the fourth year I’ve done this - previous lists: 2006, 2007, 2008.This is a list of the products I tend to use daily. Some are for work (Wordpress, Delicious, Zoho, etc.), some are for fun (MySpace Music, Hulu, e (Read More)
: Thanks this is a great list. I have tried and/or use many of the products listed above. Right now I am so addicted to Pandora. We have a sonos that supports Pandora and I love the variety of music. There are a few that I have heard about but have not gotten around to try such as my space music and zoho that I want to try.
: "The list changes a bit from year to year, and is also getting longer (see chart). Just three products have been favorites all four years: TechMeme, Skype, Wordpress. TechMeme continues to be the news aggregator I check multiple times per day to keep up on tech news. Skype is the instant messaging and VoIP platform that I use most often, and Wordpress software powers all of our blogs.
I’ve added nine new products, including one gadget (which I’ve left off in the past): Animoto, Friendfeed, Hulu, iPhone 3G, MySpace Music, Pandora (which was on in previous years) Docstoc/Scribd and Yammer."

: @jasongoldberg no sidebars here. This Firefox Extension works like a greasemonkey script adding inline content instead of having to click through links. @Drikkes I did try it and it does work well. One thing that happened to me was some of the photos posted were cut off a little on the right side. Power to the people.
: I've tested it. The search within the site is a big plus, but I def don't like the mouseover effect, as I dislike the snapshots on wordpress blogs. The problem @Jrblaze reported with the cut off photos I can confirm.
