My two new favorite tools

Shoutout to my new favorite online tools:

EtherPad
http://etherpad.com

Etherpad totally blows Google Docs out of the water. Unlike Docs', Etherpad is actually real-time, allowing for an awesome notepad for collaborations and brainstorming. Its the best remote brainstorming tool I've ever used. Props to them! ..Although I hear Google just bought EtherPad...which makes me a little scared to see what will happen to this awesome product (I hear it might get incorporated into Wave)

Dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/

Managing documents across multiple computers has always been a pain for me. This app makes it incredibly easy to share files! All you have to do is install the client on each computer and then just dump whatever file(s)/folder(s) you want into the shared folder and voila!--its available for every associated computer. This is what Microsoft should have done to begin with, instead of the useless Microsoft file-sharing system that was built into XP/Vista. A cherry on top with Dropbox is that it allows you to just as easily share a large file (<2 GB) to anyone! This is much, much better than YouSendIt.
