Randy over at the Ethos – A Cultural Water Cooler asked the question on this Water Cooler Wednesday- “What’s your favorite web app?” Well Randy, I’m gald you asked.

You’re right, there are a truckload of apps out there and sometimes trying to make your way through the sea of apps can become very confusing. But, some do indeed rise to the top. I’m in the midst of revamping all of my blogs, moving them from Blogger to my own server where I’m now using WordPress. The reason for the move mainly centered around the fact that Blogger has no backup! In the words of Homer – “Ahhhhh!” What happens if Blogger goes down. I lose all my postings!

During the revamping and retooling stages, I’ve been finding some really cool apps. The first one is an ap for apps! It’s called MyBlogLog and if you want to see my favorite apps, just look at the “My Services” panel in the “About Me” section of this blog. Aside from the many other features with MyBlogLog it gives you a cool widget app to display all your other service apps.

My second favorite app I’ve discovered is SpringWidgets. Like the name implies, this site is a collection of widgets. But, you can customize the widgets to better suit whatever page you’re putting the widget on. Many people, including you Randy, are flying a new Twitter widget. I agree, the current widget from Twitter is nothing more than a bulky looking RSS feed. The new Twitter widget many people are using looks cool, but I got an even cooler one from SpringWidgets! Once again, if you want to see my Twitter widget, just scroll down this page and you’ll find it on the right panel. Also, while you’re looking for my Twitter widget, you’ll see another cool SpringWidget with a Daily Bible Verse in it.

So there you have it Randy, and the rest of the fine folks at the Wednesday Water Cooler. A couple of my favorite apps, which actually provide you with a look at some of my other favorite Internet apps too.

Happy widget hunting!
