Summary

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, etc), and some are useful for both (Digg, Skype, YouTube, etc.). But I use most of them every day, or nearly every day, and I would not be as productive or happy without all of them.

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.
