Our Net - Google Spreadsheet.  Works right in your browser.  More chipping away at Microsoft.

Tabblo - Construct an interactive photo gallery.  Still beta.  Promising.

ajaxWrite -  Another good entirely web-based word processing program.

Nice Blogs - Sarwono Kusumaatmadja.  Still a voice of reason and reasonableness.
