Bad Ass Web Applications with Forgettable Names

I recently had a string of good luck finding web apps that are well designed and make my job easier (ironically most of them are built on flash). Unfortunately, I can't ever remember their names because they make no sense and I don't use them every day. I was thinking about making a web app to remember them for me, but couldn't find a name that I would remember for that either. And now the purpose of this post is clear.

I'm very picky and probably try hundreds of new apps a year. I've wasted 10s of hours combing through crap, blah, and broken to get down to these tools. Despite the completely forgettable names, these are the few that don't piss me off:

• Cacoo: Wireframes. The interface reminds me of Gliffy but a little more stylized, hip. If Gliffy is Bill Gates then Cacoo is Steve Jobs.
• Color Schemer: Ready to go color schemes. It's better than agonizing for hours over color palates.
• Gliffy: Online version of visio. I assume this is named after some famous rapper or something. Bling bling bitches.
• Prezi: While it's interesting for presentations, I use it for doing architecture diagrams that are deeply nested. I would not object to gliffy and prezi hooking up and birthing a love child. 

And that's it. Hopefully google indexes this and takes me to this page the next time I search for "that thing that makes diagrams on the web and is flashy". Index it!

3 Click Bug Reporting Policy

Dear Companies that make web software,

As a developer, I know how important it is to get bugs from your users out in "the field", especially all you beta web n.0 site. So, when I come across bugs, I will do my best to let you know what happened in a clear and concise way. However, if I can't find your bug reporting link in 3 clicks, your loss.

For example, I was on YouTube today looking for a preview of the "Short Circuit Remake" and when I searched, the title bar says there are 4 results but only 2 were displayed. Hmmm.... that's odd... I should report that. 4 clicks, 2 Help Center searches, and no email address later I gave up. Sorry GooTube, you're outta here!

Why 3 clicks you say? In reality it should be 1: scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Report a Bug". But I'm feeling generous today on the day I make this new policy so congratulations, you have me for 3 clicks.

Sincerely,

Management

UPDATE: southwest.com admits they have no email to contact them with - you have to mail in your bug reports, along with any requests or talk to their service representative. Yeah right!
