6. Del.icio.us:
If you’re like me, you browse the web on multiple computers. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a single place where you can keep all of your favorite sites bookmarked and be able to access them from anywhere? Well, say hello to Del.icio.us. Del.icio.us is an incredibly simple site that allows you to keep all your bookmarks in one place so you can retrieve them whenever you like. You can also share bookmarks with friends and take a look at what others are bookmarking.

Along with Gmail and Google Reader, Google Calendar is my favorite Google application — allows you to keep your life organized easily, intuitively, and with no hassle.
