Use web-apps instead of expensive software

I have a huge collection of great web 2.0 sites that I want to share with you – and it’s all free! Yes, free, just look around, and you will definitely find some great sites that offer great web apps or Software as a Service (SaaS).

If you are here, you probably already know what these terms cover. Just in case you don’t, it is a catch phrase for sites that offer online software. Basically, it’s something you can use instead of having to buy your own software. It is often free, and in any case, it is a LOT cheaper than buying your own.

I am not affiliated with any of the sites that I talk about, I have just been busy finding sites for my own use, and now that I have a really extensive collection of sites, I figured I might as well share them with you. Look around, and you may just find a site that will make your life a lot easier (and save you a lot of money). I will be adding new ones all the time, so don’t forget to check back once in a while.

All the info on the site is completely free, and 100% human edited, by me, Jens Rothenborg. If you like what you see, you could consider using the form in the sidebar to donate a buck or two to help keep my site running.
