Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.

What is your most-used web application? Fairly straightforward question. It shouldn't be too hard to guess what will come out on top, but I'm interested to see what else gets high votes.

ONE entry per post and NO duplicates.
The following applications have already been listed.

Use the following search query inquestion:2050 "example name"

Why do you use this one more than anything else and what does it actually do? Should I use it too?

JSBin

I hang around the JavaScript tag a lot over on Stack Overflow, this comes in handy (and its editor is a little less buggy than jsFiddle's).

Google Talk

Wow, I am really surprised no one has mentioned this one already. I have this turned on literally all-day long.

I know there's Google Chat as part of Gmail, I'm referring to the stand-alone application.

I guess I'm thinking how it's only purpose is to connect you via your Gmail account to other users, it's a web-centric app but not run in the browser. Kind of a grey-area to me as we start to see more web-enabled apps delivered through things like Adobe Air. – jerebear Dec 9 '10 at 6:31

LibraryThing

Well the one I keep up-to-date is librarything for my books. I don't use it every week, but I do keep it current.

I don't count: - Gmail or Reader because they are my mail and feed clients, in the same way as I don't count Firefox. - Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter because I use the iPhone apps. - Amazon - app again.

Hotmail

I created it just for having a mail account to use for registering with different user accounts, but it has also been my personal mail box.

The spam filter is quite good.

Not really a web app. It doesn't let the user perform any tasks. – James Oct 26 '10 at 17:12
