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?

tDash

Disclaimer: While this may suspiciously sound like my own trumpet, allow me to explain.

Google Reader was my best source of news and information. Read item, press SPACEBAR, jump to the next unread item. Rinse and repeat.

Until Twitter happened. And then I created tDash to relive the Goog-Reader experience, with the personal touch that Twitter affords.

@HRJ: Probably you didn't miss anything. It's just that a webapp that promotes itself as a "twitter client with a focus on productivity" is something like a casino promoting itself as a "easy money generator for your retirement plan and savings" – Vinko Vrsalovic Jul 15 '10 at 17:45
