This is a pretty clever Web 2.0 application. You know all those email receipts you get when you book flights, cars, hotels, etc. online?

SEND LARGE FILES TOO BIG FOR EMAIL
Ever try and send a file to a client and then the email bounced because the attachment was too large? Then try YouSendIt. The file delivery service allows you to send large files via YouSendIt's online email template and your recipient can then log in and download the file from YouSendIt's server. Setting up an account was a snap and sending a file was as easy as logging in to YouSendIt's web page with your user name and password, typing in the recipient's email address and browsing to the file you are sending on your computer. If you can send an email attachment in your email program, you already have the skills necessary to use this "Software as a Service" program. You can even download a free plug-in for Microsoft Outlook 2003 that allows you to YouSendIt has a free service and then premium services that may make sense if you are a heavy user of the program, want tech support or you want to avoid seeing ads in the notification emails, you might want to sign up for a paid account. Subscription fees run from about $10 a month on up.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR LIBRARY
I've found a nice tool that allows you to easily keep track of all the books in your law library or in your home if you're a book collector. Collectorz.com allows you to type an ISBN number or a title and then searches Amazon.com and the Library of Congress and downloads the information including the book's cover art and a quick plot summary. You can then add your own comments on the book. The free version of the software allows adding up to 100 books. For $40, you can get the unlimited version allowing for as many downloads as you want.
