I’m bookmarking this! Nice to have such a list, thanks! My contribution is Wrike wrike.com for productivity and organization. I’ve tried a couple those you mentioned and this one turned out to be more functional and easier to use.

Wonderful list!

But you missed a few. One that I noticed missing was http://www.FreelanceLocalTech.com, which is an online directory of freelancers organized by service AND location, so that clients can find local consultants. It’s the anti-elance/guru/etc… no bidding, no foreign competition. Just consultants and making it simple for potential clients to find a local consultant. And it’s free to post a consultant listing or a client project.

They’re only accepting USA consultants for now, but Canada and UK are coming by end of year. Check it out!

I use this great tool for project/task management, it’s called Santex Q, so far it does the trick for me, it’s free, it’s got a timesheet and a lot of other cool features. It seems it’s still under development so it can only get better.

I’d definately add http://scribd.com to the list. It’s a great place to share and discover electronic documents.

For storage I really like dropboks.com. It has 1 gig of space and is really easy to navigate. When I left my day job to do my freelance work I used this site to back up everything I had collected over the years on my works desktop.

Nice list! Any online backup recommendations? I tried Carbonite (crashed my machine) and Mozy (free version works on my wife’s machine, paid version required extreme amounts of CPU time on mine).
