Twitter was quite interesting - I checked out jobloggs twitter. It took me several attempts before finding a unique username - so there must be a growing number of users subscribing to twitter. It is a wonderful tool for keeping in contact with colleagues and friends.

#32 Online file storage Box.net

I uploaded photos to box.net and had a lovely time rotating the images, changing colours and straightening the photos. How often I would use this site for work purposes is questionable, but it certainly was enjoyable using this site.
