Web 2 point ohhhhh.

The Unofficial Web Application List has a lot of neat applications. Some favorites include an amazing Ajax newsletter generator, a tool that lets you convert between any file formats, Rogue in Java, a free browser-based VoIP system that can call landlines, a music search engine that accepts humming as an input, and the lovely Flash Earth. You can also generate your own warning signs and use a page that makes browser content seem to be a MS Word document - you know, for work.

There are a few of those online file converters around these days. In my experience, they all suffer from the same problems - they very quickly crawl to a snail's pace because of the high amount of processing people are getting them to do, and converting between video formats using these sites is just as hit-and-miss as using local video conversion software.

Very cool - thanks for this. A couple of other sites are eHub and eConsultant (I guess we've moved away from 'e' and 'i' - what's next, o?). Would be interesting to see if there's a lot of stuff on the Web App list that doesn't fall under the 2.0 moniker.

Bah. That word thing is blocked by my company. Bastards.

All I get from workfriendly.net is, "This IP address cannot be used for browsing." And I'm at home, so it's not that it's being blocked by work.
