Tools

Given that I like Rich Internet Applications (both to write and to use), here is a list of tools that I really like. I need to say though, that as much as I like these tools, I can't seem to ever break away from the habit of using my desktop tools instead. I don't necessarily find the desktop tools any better (usually), but when I want to write a document I reach for Word first. Is that an indication of the ultimate future of RIA's? When even a person that believes fully in the technology doesn't make it a habit to use them?

This list isn't just RIA applications though...

Gliffy - drawing tool
SlideRocket - Presentations (although these people made me mad... so I probably won't use it - it is still pretty nice technology)
Buzzword - Word Processing... now all bundled together under Acrobat which also has presentations and spreadsheet functions
YUML - Create UML diagrams
Files2U - Send large files to others by uploading to this service - very nice
