What Services Am I Using?

For email I use GMail - I've tried Thunderbird with POP & IMAP support, but always go back to the web based interface. My GMail email is also collected by Zoho Mail, but I don't use that interface - it's a backup in case my employer ever blocks the GMail interface (they block Hotmail, but not Live).
For a Calendar - after a long afair with Google I now use Zoho as it seems to have a nicer interface.
For web clipping and note taking I use Ubernote, I'd love to use Zoho Notes, but can't get the hang of its overcomplicated interface. Evernote - doesn't somehow float my boat, but I can't work out why.
I do use Zoho Writer (and occasionally Zoho Sheets) but I'm willing to be persuaded by the Adobe offering Buzzword, which has a nice clean interface and really nice fonts.
I like Syncplicity for synchronisisng my important files and accessing them anywhere, but I'd like to be convinced by Microsoft's Life offering - Livedrive if it would only do auto-synching of selected files.
I've got a GMail Drive (which is just an extension of GMail) which is occasionally useful.
Connected to Adobe Buzzword is Symantec's GoEveryware (or GoEveryWhere) desktop - it's ratheer cool, but an application looking for a purpose.
My main browser is Firefox with lots of extensions (probably too many !)
I do use old-skool newsnet using X-News as my reader.
