Some great web apps

If we listen to the news, then we would think that the internet is made up of just a few popular websites, who have attracted attention from the bigger companies who have been liberal with their cash when buying a stake in these popular sites.

But this is not a true picture of the internet today, there are quite few applications out there that have gone unnoticed by the big players and yet have a good product and many fans.

Here are just a few of these unsung heroes:

Qipit - Camera phone image scan to PDF via email

Ning - Social network creator

Jott - Voice to text reminders, blog posts, and calendar events

Anywhere.FM - Music library hosting and web playback

Doodle - Group polling for scheduling large events

Netvibes - Browser start page

Zoho Suite - Web-based office suite

Meebo - Web-based instant messenger

TiddlyWiki - Personal, one-page wiki

Remember the Milk - Task manager, reminder system, personal organizer

You don’t have to be a household name to be a great business.
