As you can see, I use quite a few duplicate applications - one of the drawbacks of using different platforms.
I like to read different lists and learn what others use, have and like. I like to try something new and find new applications and I always find someone and something interesting. If you are like me and want to see more lists like this list of mine, got o Robb Knight’s page where he created list of people’s blog posts that deals with their default applications.
