FREE ONLINE SERVICES I USE:
* Google GMail
(simply the best online/offline email solution)
* Google Calendar
(very good online/offline calendar that can notify you by SMS, emails and pop-ups - never miss an appoinment again. Can be sync'ed with many different calendar programs, including Outlook and Sunbird/Lightning.)
* Syncplicity
(great synchronization/backup software that automatically backs up 2GB for free, and then lets you keep several computers synchronized. Great if you work on documents/data from different places. You can of course buy more space if you need it.)
* FlickR
(a good place to put your pictures - mine are here)
* Blogger
(a nice blog-service - my blog is here)
(tell the world what you are doing in max 140 characters - my Twitter is here)
(the definitive social networking site - just be aware of the fact that Facebook overtakes copyright of everything uploaded and can use all your information for anything they want)
* Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club
(amazing sites to find people to meet and/or stay with for free when you travel or go to places)
* Deezer and Spotify
(great places to stream music, no need for downloading)
* KCRW Music
(excellent radio station that plays only quality music)
* EZTV
(nice site to keep track of what's released on the TV-scene, see this post for recommended TV-series)
* Google Translate
(pretty good automated translations in many languages)
* Rotten Tomatoes
(collects critics' opinions of movies and gives it a total score, along with quotes from the reviews)
* Metacritic
(the same, but for other things as well: TV, music, literature)
* OpenSubtitles
(great place to find and upload subtitles for most movies and TV-shows)

(Norwegian official site for Yellow and White Pages)
* Universal Currency Converter
(convert currencies here)
* Weather Underground
(cool site where you can register and keep track of the weather around the globe)

INTERNET SERVICES I USE THAT ARE NOT FREE:

* Megaupload
(get a Premium account to be able to mass download a world of content blazingly fast, plus backup unlimited amounts of data)
And if you have any ideas for better solutions, please let me know in the comments-field...
