More web apps from little people

As a follow on to my previous post relating to some of smaller companies that are shaping the internet's future, the list below includes some other companies I've encountered.

Some of the apps I've started using, others I simply like and may start using in the future when my internet access becomes more mobile.

Brightkite


I was made aware of Brightkite by @jimmahnow as he geo tagged his way into Manchester a while back. Geo location app with a social media interface, using yahoo's Fire Eagle.
Nice little mobile app, I think we'll see some ingenuous use of Fire Eagle in the not so distant future.


Gnoos


Australian based blog search engine, handy for searching for info on blogs, becoming stronger as more people sign up to the service.


LastFM


Been with us for a while, probably one of the most successful UK web apps around, has grown from strength to strength. Still keeps me happy on days like today, when I need some musical influence to sooth my aching head.


Jiglu



I've been thinking about implementing tagging in my blog for a while, outside of what Blogger offers. After looking around Jiglu seemed to do a nice job of what I wanted.


Clicky


@Octane introduced me to Clicky, I've started using it alongside Google Analytics and I am really liking its active reporting on a real time basis. I need to upgrade my account to take advantage of some of the further facilities.

I am sure I'll follow this list with others as I find new apps to use, if you have any apps you'd like to share with me, feel free to add them in the comments and I'll take a look.
