485529676_84681e34a6 Every week, I pay my respects to blogging excellence, wonder, and merriment.

One of my favorite things to talk about here at The 2.0 Life is tools. Tools exist on the Internet to do literally anything you can think of doing, and probably a whole lot more. Tasks, email, telling people where you are, finding a public toilet – the list is endless.

Surprisingly enough, I’m not the only person who likes talking about the best of the tools the Web has to offer. This week, I’ve found a number of great articles from some great blogs talking about the best of the Web’s tools for all kinds of people and all kinds of functions. Here are some of the best:

Productivity501 – “Interview: Effective Gadgets

Ixibo – “21 Lesser-Known Open-Source Applications for Windows

Webware – “Top 10 Movie Recommendation Engines

PCWorld – “101 Undiscovered Freebies

DailyBits – “100+ Sites to Download All Sorts of Things

Marc and Angel Hack Life – “Top 40 Ways to Take Notes Online

ReadWriteWeb – “Still Shiny: 23 Apps We’re Using One Month Later

Mashable – “A Guide to Better Web-Working From Your iPhone

Did I Get Things Done – “Some Different Free Productivity Tools

What’ve you read about this week? What are your favorite tools? Share them all in the comments.
