A while ago, Automattic introduced sidebar widgets, a plugin that lets you manager your site’s sidebar(s) through WordPress. Pretty nifty, but none of my themes supported it. I’ve been getting more and more email asking me to fix this. I had a bit of time on my hands today, so I did.. Check themes.wordpress.net for the updated versions of “Tranquility“, “Tranquility White” and “Positive Feeling“.

1. Gmail
I love gmail. It has replaced three separate installations of Thunderbird and helps me keep all my email organized. Labeling works for better than using folders and Gmail can even compare to desktop email clients when it comes to speed.

2. Search
The reason this comes in second is that I’d consider changing my default search engine more than I would my email client. I’ve been googling since day one and have yet to find a search engine that provides better results, is faster of better in any way.
