In our newsletter The Internet at Work, I reviewed some of the Internet-based applications we use here at Newfangled. Well, Web 2.0 has been in high gear for a couple years now and today there are vast numbers of web-based applications that can replace just about any desktop equivalent. Word processing, accounting, image editing, video production, database development, customer relationship management, and presentation software all have their online counterparts.

But how do these web apps compare with their offline brethren? Are they as reliable? What about privacy and access? Important questions all, but one thing’s for sure, desktop applications are being given a run for their moneyer, well maybe not for their money, since these online apps are usually free.

This month we’ll review some of these web-based applications and share which ones we use.
