Lifehacker had an interesting post yesterday that prompted me to post this article

In fact, I have used the same title here.

What Free Apps Are You Thankful for?

I love finding free and quality applications that we can use everyday and share it here for anyone looking for one. In light of Thanksgiving, I would like to take some time to list a few free apps I am really thankful for that I use day to day.

    Nice Blog! I think Filezilla deserves a place in your list.

    I’d have to pretty much say Google! I’m happy Google exists because if it was any other way, it would be harder for people to have any good success online.
    Some people thing Google gives all these free tools to its users but they have a secret plan to control all activity on the Internet and whatnot. They make so many things possible with their online software and I’m thankful for that. Nice Thanksgiving post ;)
