Asana, a task management tool that groups up coworkers and teammates

Asana is a task management tool that groups up coworkers and teammates can use to stay on top of the latest developments within the projects they’re working on. At the heart of the application is a shared task list where group members can plan and discuss the various aspects of their projects in a single space while still staying organized and in sync at all times.

Up to 30 members can work together in an Asana workspace without paying a dime, so there is no reason not to sign up and give the web-app a try

AABBYY Screenshot reader

It lets you take a screenshot of anything on your screen, converts the screenshot to text, and then sends it as editable text to the clipboard, text editor, or the MS Office application of your choice. Supports multiple languages.

Its whopping size - 150+ MB didn't deter me, I did well to download it, believe me, it's a peach!

Features

It is perfectly suited for the occaisional ad-hoc application of OCR (Optical Character Recognition).

Pistashio – The New Way to Save and Sort Bookmarks

Pistashio is an online hub where users can save and store all the articles, photos, videos, reviews, books, and music they find online. It is an app that brings many functions together under one roof. One of the cool things about Pistashio is that you can set reminders.It will automatically email or tweet you the link. You can also set up the service to post your favorite links on Facebook or Twitter. 

One thing that makes Pistashio different from basic bookmarking applications is that it only saves links that fall into five distinct categories-food, video, reading, listening, and to-do-and the majority of this content is actually embedded on the site for easy referencing. When you add a YouTube video, for example, Pistashio embeds the video on its site rather than making you click away to watch it again. 

Pistashio can be used in a number of different ways, depending on what you're interested in and how you want to use the service.
