- SquareSpace - forget web designing software (hard work), Squarespace combines easy web building with hosting to bring your site or blog to fruition, for a only a few quid a month. Time. Saver.
- Twitter / Twitpic - micro-blogging site where you can follow friends, celebrities and anticelebrities. Great for marketing, fun and adding another dimension to your blog. Dump Twitter widgets on your site/blog/space. Twitter can also be set up to update your Facebook status. Another. Time. Saver.
- Tweepular - a genius website to manage your Twitter Followers and who you follow. Seriously clever to get linking up with like-minded tweeps.
- Friend Blaster Pro - another bit of time saving software that lets you send multple comments, friend requests or messages on MySpace. Great for website promotion.
- Tiny Url - lets you shorten long Urls (web links) to short ones for inclusion in status updates, emails and hiding affiliate links. Tiny tool, huge number of uses.

UPDATE...
Tweepular is a canny little service... I've been using it for a week, and come to my Twitter account this morning to find it suspended for 'strange activity'. Damn.
Digging a little deeper it looks like I accidently, unintentionally broke one of Twitter's T&C's:
'If you have followed and unfollowed people in a short time period, particularly by automated means'
Twitter, I'm not a dirty spammer! So I've sent in a Support Ticket and we'll see what happens. Judging from fellow suspendees blogs, it can take a while
The moral of the story, be careful using sites like Tweepular. And I hope Twitter gives me the opportunity to learn from my apparent mistake... if not, no worries. There was life before Twitter.
