The sites of my life

We all know we can’t live without the internet and information-on-demand services. But have you thought about what sites you cannot remember doing without? This has been on my mind for some time…and here is my list:

gmail.com (or googlemail!)
This is my all-time no.1 favourite. I have had email addresses with various providers for more than 10 years now (eeeek!)….but gmail changed my life. From the unlimited storage space to the clever search function, I cannot imagine life without gmail. My life is there, from scanned copies of passports, visas and university certs to email addresses of all the lovely people that’s touched my life. I regularly do a search for CV, Address and Passport – as long as you titled you emails properly, you’ll always find what you’re looking for!

flickr.com PRO
It is fast, it is easy, its the photo album documenting my life. The best money I’ve ever splurged out online was for flickrPRO. I have thousands of pictures there, charting my life for the past 5 years. I have instant access to pictures from any computer that has internet access, and I’m loving it. I cannot imagine living without flickr, and earth would be a very sad (and less colorful) place indeed without my flickr.

Paypal
Financial services made easy! It’s only in the past two years that I accepted the power of Paypal – previously I only thought that it was the domain of the ebay crazy. I’m even using it as a savings and expenses account – accepting payments and using it to fund my various harebrained ideas. I’ve earned enough to buy me a camera for this year, but am going to just hold on to it until christmas. In the meantime…the money continues rolling in…

sourrain.comWithout sourrain.com, there would be no need for flickr.com or paypal. Nuff said

wikipedia
The world’s information portal. My first port of call for the random ideas and things that pop into my head on a daily basis – from what is a wifebeater to sewing machines. Brilliant.

I tag all those who are as geeky as me….like magges, moo, dree and lisa … and of course any other geeks out there!
