10/19 - New Category! Best Free Web-Based Informational / Educational Applications

---

Web applications are becoming more popular as the sophistication of AJAX increases and as broadband becomes more prevalent. Many companies are finding it profitable to offer free services to individuals while making money from corporate licenses.

Folksonomies are becoming more and more useful, and people are just plain enjoying sharing links and pictures through services like del.icio.us and Flickr.

I'm going to build this section one category at a time, so keep checking back. As usual, I will only include the best. Because of the unique nature of web applications, I will include sites that have advertisements, but won't include those that mandate a trial period.
