As I began searching the latest Web 2.0 social software packages, I came across a very resourceful Web 2.0 Directory. This site provides direct links to some very interesting sites as well as a brief explanation of some of the software functions and features. I have selected one very interesting service and provided some more information about a few others that also seemed useful.
OODesk
The web based service allows the user to create a virtual workspace with the ability to upload & share files, aggregate RSS feeds, and create custom widgets. I selected this free service as it is the setup was very easy (the registration process consisted of completing only one simple form). It is also very useful if you are constantly moving from various PC systems as it provides the ability to access documents on a web-based platform. Throughout the average day it is possible for me to be working on up to four systems, my work PC, work laptop, my personal workstation or my personal laptop. The there are times where I may frequent the library or computer lab and utilize a workstation at these locales. Often times I may not have accessible portable drive, may need such a web-based service. Although I do currently use Google Doc's when I'm in a bind, this service also acts as an RSS feed aggregator, and provides you with the ability to create cutsom widgets.

That sounds really great, I'll have to take a look. I am always bouncing between computers so that could be really useful.
OODesk might be really handy for me as well, that's a good find! I will have to check out file size limitations; I see it's free but I'd imagine there might be a cost if you start posting 10gig movie files. =P
