In search of wisdom...

Below are the top 100 Online apps and tools which I have collated according to my own experience and usage. If you think I've missed on any of the tools that you've been using, then kindly mention it in the comments along with a link.

Aggregation & Collaboration

• Newshawker - one of the leading blog aggregators out there; check out the entrepreneurship section as a good example

• Digsby - get your IM, Email and Social Networks all in one place, that's what Digsby is all about
• Tinychat - create chatrooms on-the-fly; BackNoise is another good one for this
• Gist - one of my favorite apps of the day, Gist helps you learn more about the contacts you've made - all in one place
• Google Apps - by far the most popular toolset with this crowd, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs all get the nod for making your life easier. Of course, I have to mention Google Reader or Google Wave in this category either
• SpringPad - one of the latest online notebooks, this one is worth a test drive
• MindMesiter - collaborative, online mind mapping; I've yet to catch on to the whole mind-mapping craze, but those that use it love it - maybe it's for you?

• Utterli - another online chat tool you can use to start discussions via the Web or your mobile device
• Skribit - let your readers suggest topics for you to blog about, and put an end to writer's block

Monitoring & Analytics

• ConvoTrack - a bookmarklet that enables you to see the entire conversation surrounding a post (see comments from Twitter, FriendFeed, Digg, Reddit, etc.)
• TweetBeep - you've probably heard of this one, but TweetBeep is the "Google Alerts" for Twitter - monitor keywords in Twitter and receive email summaries for free
• Google Analytics and Google Alerts - I know you've heard of these, but they are among the most valuable tools for monitoring and analytics today
• SocialMention - a free, real-time social media search and analysis tool
• Monitter - real-time, live Twitter monitor - lets you monitor Twitter for keywords, similar to features in some Twitter clients
• TweetGrid - another free Twitter monitoring tool, but this one lets you decide how many windows (or active searches) you want in your "grid"
• TweetChat -allows you to create chats around Twitter hashtags - a popular tool for following #journchat discussions
• Twitterfall - my tool-of-choice for following #journchat, though it's really a more powerful Twitter monitoring tool that displays tweets in a "waterfall" window

As I wrote above, I might have missed on applications/tools which you think might be useful, so kindly feel free to mention them along with a link below in the comments.

Every year there are hundreds of new online tools and applications that come and go. Some of them make great impacts on our online experience and many of them go unnoticed. At Conversations, we analyzed more than 100 online tools and came up with the following top 10 online tools and applications that can make a difference to your digital experience.

Follow the links to find out more about the tools and the comments learning professionals have made about them.

---

Prezi


is the highest ranked newcomer on the list. It's a Flash-based app that lets you build amazing, non-linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map containing words, links, images, videos, etc.

Cost: free and paid for plans

---

Evernote


lets you capture things (web pages, screenshots, photos, note, etc), which you can tag, store and find again fast . It works across many different (Windows and Mac OS) computers and phones (iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, Palm Pre) that are used in daily life:

Cost: Free and premium accounts.

---

Dimdim


is a web conferencing tool that lets you deliver synchronised presentations, whiteboards and web pages while sharing voice and video. It's already a winner of a number of awards, and offers remarkable value when compared to other commercial web conferencing systems.

Cost: Free for 20 users, Pro accounts start at a low monthly charge.

---

Etherpad


is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work together in really real-time. Unlike other online documentation or wiki tools, Etherpad updates each document every half a second, which means that a number of people can work together and see each other's updates immediately.

Cost: Free and paid for professional and network plans

---

myUdutu


is course authoring software that lets you build a course very quickly and easily online either on your own or collaboratively with others. You can easily import existing content, e.g. PowerPoint presentations.

Cost: The authoring tool is free to use. You can build your courses, pilot and modify them, all for no cost. There is a small per screen charge if you want to host the course on the Udutu site.

---

Screenr


is an online screencasting tool. A number of these have come onto the market recently, but this tool from the Articulate stable has quickly become a favourite. It lets you record on your Mac or PC, and then play on the Web or on an iPhone.

Cost: Free

---

Posterous


is a very simple blogging system. If you haven't yet got into blogging this is by far the simplest way to start. Just post to your Posterous blog using email and attach any type of file - photo, MP3, video, document, etc - if you want to include it. If you already have a blog elsewhere (e.g. Blogger, Wordpress or Typepad) you can also auto-post to it, or even auto-post to Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.

Cost: Free

---

Yammer


is a private micro-blogging service. If you like the idea of Twitter but are concerned about the updates being public, then Yammer provides the same functionality as Twitter, but for in-company use. Only individuals with the same email domain can join a given network. In addition to microblogging there are discussion boards and users can form/join groups. There are also Yammer iPhone app and Blackberry clients.

Cost: Free, but companies can get admin rights to their company networks for a small monthly per user fee.

---

Wordle


is a small, fun and quite versatile little tool. It is a word cloud generator. Input or copy in some text and generate a visual cloud of the most frequently use words. You can then tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts and colour scheme.

Cost: Free

---

Flip Video


Finally, this one is not software but a tiny little camcorder that lets you easily take videos and upload them (using the inbuilt USB) to the PC as well as YouTube, Facebook and other sites.

Cost: this varies depending on size and record time of the Flip.

• TweetDeck, perhaps the most popular professional Adobe Air client for Twitter. Supports, searches, groups, multiple accounts


• SeesMic is like Tweetdeck but less buggy and with a more polished interface. TweetDeck never really worked on my system.


• Statuzer is similar to the above but with added multimedia support

Web Based Twitter Clients and CMS


Even with a desktop client like one of the above working in teams is difficult. Web based tools offer even more features for teams and companies

• HootSuite, a web based Twitter CMS for companies


• coTweet (Twitter CRM?) - coTweet has been hailed as a Twitter CRM app but it's basically a Twitter CMS with very basic CRM features


• Twaitter allows team accounts, scheduled tweets, RSS integration etc.


• Tweetvisor is a horribly cluttered but very powerful Twitter interface or web based Twitter client

CRM/Social CRM/TRM (Twitter Relationship Management)


In case you are serious about business you most probably use some kind of CRM tools for customer relationship management. Both CRM software makers and new kids on the block attempt to harness Twitter conversations to get more leads and organize a better customer service. CRM solutions supporting Twitter are still rare though. At least one, Axopt already disappeared.

• CureCRM - Twitter and Email bases CRM


• Salesforce Service Cloud supports Twitter


• IGOpeople Twitter CRM business suite


• Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers a Twitter "accelerator" integration

Twitter Directories


One of the most common questions people new to Twitter ask is: Who to follow on Twitter? In order to some quick overview of who might be the right person to follow in your industry or niche you should check out Twitter directories like Twellow.

• Twellow - Twitter "Yellow Pages", one of the oldest and most reputable Twitter user directories


• JustTweetIt is a clean and web directory with many users, some of which I recognize. The top result for SEO, Dev Basu is a well known local SEO expert.


• Geofollow - Location based Twitter directory covering the whole planet


• Twibes is not really a directory it's rather a collection of Twitter groups based on interests

Twitter Enhancements


Twitter has only ver basic features, even Twitter clients offer only a few more. there are literally thousands of tools that enhance Twitter in one way or another. here I can mention only some notable among them that are ideyll suited for busines people.

• TwitterLocal allows you to address local audiences via Twitter, ideal for small businesses


• Social Oomph (formerly Tweet Later) is a tool with multiple features, some of clients some of extra tools, scheduling and automating tweets are just two of them


• Twaitter is like Social Oomph but with less features which doesn't mean it's less useful


• PingFM allows to submit links to Twitter, Facebook and numerous other services at once


• PeopleBrowsr is a very powerful suite of tools for creating and addressing groups and beyond

Twitter Search and Monitoring Tools


Twitter users produce huge amounts of data you impossibly can be digest or overview as a human being. Even your followers tweets are too much in most cases. search and monitoring tools make sure that you don't miss something important.

• Topsy finds and sorts most of your brand's mentions, tweets and links


• Yahoo Sideline is a Adobe Air based desktop search tool for Twitter. It also displays current trends


• Twilert - Like Google Alerts for Twitter mentions, catches most of them


• TweetBeep - Similar to Twilert but less reliable. Good to find additional mentions Twilert overlooks but not enough on it's own


• Radian6 - This is an advanced social media analytics suite with some Twitter tools also useful for CRM


• Twitturly - shows the most popular Twitter links in a social news like interface


• Tweetreach - Find out who really is your friend, or at least who spread your message the most

Blog Tools


Being on Twitter is good for business but integrating it into your website or rather blog is even better. Many tools attempt to do that but only a few of them are good enough for business users.

• Twittercounter - A Feedburner like counter showing you the number of Twitter followers, SEOptimise uses one


• BackType Plugins allow you a seamless Twitter integration into your blog


• Twitter Tools by Alex King allows almost complete Twitter integration into your WordPress blog

Recently, I carried out a survey on ‘Social Media’ scene in India and the results are mixed. Some are expected and some are very strange. For ex: Among the sample size of 248 respondents, not even one person is active on Fropper and 100% of them are on Orkut.


Anyways following paragraph is a summary of the entire survey.
“A young Indian netizen has been active on the social media scene for more than an average of 4 years. She/he joined social media because of an invitation to join from a friend. The most common social media website for her/him is Orkut and Facebook follows the trend. A Netizen visits these websites at least once a day. On an average, she/he has an average of 120 friends on each of the social media website they are registered. The most visited blog genre is Movies followed by world news/politics, incidentally only 11.8% admitted to be visiting sex blogs on a regular basis. The activity which they enjoy the most over the social media platform is Scrapping.”


SAMPLE SIZE- 250 Respondents (248 responded)


Because it was an online survey, these respondents are essentially people who use internet quite often. The questionnaire had 10 questions.

Based on the number of daily active users, here is the list of top 10 facebook applications..
Cheers!! If you like this, feel free to use the data but dont forget to 'Digg' it. :) Here we go...

THE WINNERS ARE: -
1. Pet Society 1,925,740
2. Facebook® for BlackBerry® smartphones 1,453,600
3. Causes 1,345,760
4. Texas HoldEm Poker 1,318,050
5. Bumper Sticker 1,070,930
6. Top Friends 995,946
7. (Lil) Green Patch 975,549
8. Slide FunSpace 959,516
9. Mobile 952,264
10. We're Related 852,071

I know many of the marketers would have their own thoughts and ideas to make use of this information, however, my suggestion is to analyze these applications and understand the reason for their success.

Cheers!
