The askeet service, although not completely finished yet, is a real web 2.0 application. It is based on the same principle as Yahoo Answers, but is completely AJAX, provides RSS, API, folksonomy, Markdown formatting, universes, public moderation, and, on top of that, is an open-source project.

Surfwax has powerful search features, something they call “targeted, multi-source (federated) searching”, they somehow use XFN to relate focus groups through “site snaps”. Very advanced stuff, I’m still discovering how to use it, but the effort is worth it. They also have a bookmarking service called Nextaris that handles links, clippings and images. You can combine all those, with user input, in blogs which are part of your directory structure. It really is awesome and I don’t know why more people are aware of it, maybe it’s too complex. Anyways, its worth a look-see. – rickdog

gOffice has, imho, better WP than Writely. I have problems with Writely editing, especially with complex webclips that are drag-dropped into it. gOffice has a presentation feature for spiffing up the doc before PDF output. I love 24eyes, an “RSS Dashboard”. You can create unlimited tabbed pages each with unlimited feed windows. You can import your feed OPML and make windows off of that. You can search for other peoples RSS pages and import them. Very web2.0’ish, the feed item fetching is lighting fast, this is my fave RSS reader.

Other tools that I like and have been valuable, Stumble, Pubsub, Thinkfree, Flikr, Delicious, Google Groups, Yahoo for Mail and Calender, Amazon with their listmania and user book reviews. The best whiteboard Deepfun. Good Luck! Enjoying the helpful tips!

TagTooga made this comment,

TagTooga.com is a Wiki web directory (sort of like DMOZ meets Wikipedia) except anybody can create category/tags and edit entries. An interesting feature is that you can create your own page in TagTooga to hold links, and then use the HTML Feed feature to display those links live on your blog or site. So… the updating and maintenance of the links on THIS page could be automated by using TagTooga HTML feeds. See http://www.tagtooga.com/tapp/db.exe?c=htmlfeeds Also, HTML snapshot feeds can be created. Check out this test blog: http://tagtooga.blogspot.com/ The thumbnails come from a simple piece of Javascript you put on your page.

The performanc ing.com team has just released a week ago the public beta of PMetrics. PMetrics is a server based multi-site statistic package powered by performancing.com and aimed at blogs but also usable for standard websites. The service is free and this weekend already about 5,000 blogs have joined the service. Regarding the multi-site feature they have already announced the multi-site-stat aggregation for the future. An API will also be available soon.

Also: I’m not sure why PBWiki and Blummy are in the Aggregators section, though. Perhaps you could create a “Wikis” section for PBWiki and Schtuff, which was mentioned in a previous comment.
