5.) Google Docs (www.docs.google.com)

Essentially, Google Docs is a free version of Microsoft office. Although you cannot do all of the intricate detailed operations that you could do with the Microsoft product, Google Docs will allow you to create, edit, and share all of your word projects, excel spreadsheets, and powerpoint presentations. Personally, I use it on the daily.

6.) Free Conference Call (www.freeconferencecall.com)
