1) Ninite.com
Ninite is too sweet. It is a collection of free popular programs that you chose from. Once you have chosen what you want, it collects them into one installer. It then installs them with default settings (such as location) and will select "No" when a program asks to install a toolbar or something devilish and evil like that.
The only good thing about this is that it keeps me employed.
There is also a paid version that does the same thing, but it offers an offline version and will tell you if one of the supported programs is out of date. Personally, I love this program with all of my Mountain Dew-marinated heart because it makes my job so much easier.
The Dirty:
-FREE and paid commercial version
-Straightforward and easy to use
-Fairly large collection of supported programs
2) InternetButtons.org
The concept of this site is interesting and really good if you support a users personal computer. It lets you create a personalized homepage with one-click buttons for whatever site you might want.
The personalized site also has its own url you create and is password protected, so you can use multiple pages on the same computer.
The Dirty:
-FREE
-Customizeable
3) Ge.tt
I couldn't tell you how many times in my IT career I've had to explain to people that you cant send an email that has 745MB of pictures of Fluffy or Shnookums or whatever personifying yet dehumanizing name they have given the poor beast.
Cue the uncomfortable "d'awww"
Ge.tt is a web service that lets you upload a file to their servers. You give the recipient the created link and they can pull the file. Theres no need to register, no profiles, nothing. Quick and easy.
The Dirty:
-FREE
-Real-time sharing; means you can download a file at the same time someone is uploading the same file.
-Files stay for 30 days
-Sign up for a free account and your files stay for 90 days. You also get statistics and better manageability.
Trying this Ge.tt now! I'll let you know how I like it.
