Google's "Writely," "Accelerator," "Alerts," and "Calendar"

FireFox's Extensions, particularly the "IE Tab"

Likez a lot MSN's "Stock Scout" and "Stock Screener" (which must be viewed in the FireFox "IE TAB" to get the full whammy of the FREE Deluxe Stock Screener

Yahoo has the best Business/Stock Section, while Google provides the best quicky-looksee of a stock

(Yahoo's new email sux it is so slow, and its calendar sux--and I love Yahoo--actually I like it when MSN, Google, and Yahoo see who can outdo the other, but Yahoo really does need to get on the stick)

Best paid for program is the Copernic Summarizer

Best RSS is the Newsgator

Love Yahoo's Address Guard for creating phony email addresses if the company I sign up with sells my address--I can ditch the email (lot of so called FREE stock help turn out to be spammers)

I also use Yahoo's filtering to drop my mail into neat slots

I am pretty sure Hotmail and Google offer these services

BroadVoice is one great VOIP--been using it for over a year--cheaper than the dog Vonage

WCPE and WKSU are terrif classical music stations

"Stumple Upon" is a fun site

Commercials on CramerLand I hate so much I want to attack my TV, because they make my skin crawl, are the old man who at near a 100 still is driving and playing in a band...EarthLink's egotistical nerds who fight spam...One thing about BP wittle oil pipeline problem is I do not have to see those ignorant yuppies asking some lame energy question--GAWD I SO HATED BP'S COMMERCIALS!!

I used to like Yahoo's free real time quotes. Now you have to pay.

A neat link to a freeware program browser extention to keep track of passwords and to fill in forms. I enter lots of contests and sweepstakes and love using roboform.

You can find lots of great informational links at the other Drudge site:

Here's another program that I love... Thumbsplus. It helps me manage all my digital photos. You can try it for free.

As part of my homework (a la Cramer) I do check out Drudge, but Newsmax offers more FREE publications:

When I find a publication I like I put it in my RSS feed

Have you tried Yahoo's Widgets? Like FireFox extensions, Widgets are neat and small
