What others do you know about or can you find?  (preferably online and of course, free!)

 How would you use them for language learning?

***Somebody needs to categorize/organize all of these!! ***

 

MyStickies.com - you can put sticky notes on any webpage (instead of all over your monitor and desk)!

 

Tokbox.com - free video calling - also has text, IM, video mail. 

     You can get calls from Guest users without an account, but an acccount (free) gets you more options.

     Let me know you're calling, so I can turn the app on - my mailbox is http://www.tokbox.com/Marlene23

Skrbl - synchronous drawing and typing (can you draw in Google docs?)
