Cool (Free) Web Services!

I've always had a penchant for finding really useful "cool sites" - mostly free web based services. Thought I'd love to write a journal-style book on it someday, a lot of new sites come up, lots get removed - so blogging is a better platform I guess - Enjoy!

Hi Kaushal, thx for the link! I actually blog 'thevoiceinmyhead' though (you linked to my travel blog). Still, I thought I should say thank you :)

Nice place you have here. Will drop in for a dekho again!

iXiGO is still missing in your list :-)

We are currently the most comprehensive (14 Airlines, 3 OTAs) and most unbiased travel search engine in the Indian market.

We can confidently claim to have the cheapest fares on any given sector on any given date since between the airlines and OTAs we show fares from, we are bound to found the cheapest options for you within a few seconds.

We show all prices with taxes included, and we dont claim to sell any 99 Rs. tickets because we want consumers to know the absolute price that hits their pockets.

Finally - try it once, and tell us if any other portal can match our prices, speed or usability, for flights.

Thanks for the heads up - yes I've already used iXiGO but it didn't exist when I wrote this blog post. Have updated it along with a lot of other services :)

Cheers,
Kaushal
