7 Great Free Websites And Services That Almost Nobody Knows About
Have you ever wondered what Gmail, Hotmail, YouTube, ImageShack, and Flickr have in common? Aside from being popular, one-word sites (duh!), they have one thing in common: they're all FREE.
And we all love freebies, right?
But did you know that there are other smaller niche sites that offer interesting stuff as well? And what's more, most of them are 100% free. Okay, so not all of them are totally free; and some of those juicier features require a small fee, but who cares? There’s still something free in there; and by golly, we are going to search for them until we turn blue (hopefully it wouldn’t take that long) and find what we’re looking for.
Want to know what sites are worth looking at? Here are the top seven on our list:
1. Bloove.com
Have you ever wanted to synchronize your phone, restore and back up your data, and edit your contacts all without those nasty cables, bluetooth hardware, and infrared ports driving you insane? Then you should get Bloove. This is a web-based, free phone management system and mobile backup in one. What's more, the name's got a nice ring to it, which makes us love it even more.
2. IconWanted.com
Do you look icons? No--we're not talking about those so-called Hollywood schmucks who get paid a bazillion dollars just to look cute on the big screen.

This is the world's first search engine that looks for great icons you can put on your site, and currently, they have around 14,000 icons for FREE. Yes, folks, they're free—and way, way, much better than watching Mariah Carey act in Glitter, doesn't it?
