Free Text to Speech [new window][broken link] Use this free demo tool provided by ATT to save audio of the text that you type. There are over a dozen voices in English, Spanish, German and French.

Free Global Housing Exchange [new window][broken link] I wasn't sure how else to describe CouchSurfing.com.

Pandora Free Online Radio [new window][broken link] For now, this is my favorite free online radio or music service available on the internet. You pick an artist or song to create a radio station and Pandora selects music similar to your selection. Then you tell Pandora which songs you like that are playing and which songs you don't like. Pandora adjusts your radio station based on your selections. Create as many stations as you want. Delete stations. Pause songs, skip songs and bookmark songs. Pandora delivers CD quality music that you want to hear while surprising with each song. In my opinion, that's often better than picking exactly what you want to hear. (Any Country)
Wordpress Blogs [new window][broken link] An extremely popular free blog service where you literally set up your own blog in seconds. I've used Wordpress and I highly recommend it. The software is written well with lots of security and flexibility. There are limitations to the free service, but more than enough is offered for most anyone who wants to become the next famous blogger. Maybe the best feature of the Wordpress.com community is free traffic and publicity among fellow bloggers on the site. Why make a blog if nobody reads it? If you are knowledgeable about installing the software on your own server, Wordpress.org is the place to download the software and then go crazy customizing your blog however you choose with hundreds of great add-ons and templates.
