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.

Salesforce

Salesforce is our CRM. I login everyday. Its great if everyone in your group is committed to using it and use is engrained in your culture...if not as in my case, it is really a challenge.

Things like offline, outlook plugins, search, document management, and requirements of using your mouse make it a painful tool though better than lexis-nexis, siebel, or sugarcrm.
