Dropbox is an excellent way to keep your document files organized quickly and easily. This service lets you save items to your “dropbox” while simultaneously saving them to your computer, mobile phone and your Dropbox web account for consistency.

Dlvr.it

A neat little tool that automatically tweets your new blog posts. In addition to auto-publishing your new posts to twitter, this app will also post on any other social network you have connected to it. Dlvr.it also lets you integrate your bit.ly account. But it also has its own default URL shortener anyway, which saves you the trouble.

Rapportive

This productivity plugin does wonders for your email. It gives you a detailed background profile on whoever sends you an email. If you are like me and you get an email from somebody you forgot or don’t know at all, one of the first things you’ll do is Google them to get the facts. Rapportive takes care of that for you. It’ll search and show you all related social media account information on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more – all from your inbox.
