Michael Gray tagged me on What Websites and Programs Do You Use to Get Things Done. So, I thought I share with you the most uses sites and programs I use on a daily basis.

safari(1) I couldn't do what I did without a browser. I live and die by my browser. My preferred browser is Apple Safari. It is super quick, has built in spell check, grammar check, and dictionary. It just runs smoothly for me and it doesn't get bloated like Firefox. Don't get me wrong, I also use Firefox for specific reasons, but Safari is my core browser.
rustybudget(2) RustyBudget is my key web application through out my blogging day. It is the place I organize all the topics from this blog, for the Search Engine Roundtable and where all the authors manage the topics at Search Engine Land. Heck, we even use it to manage our crazy conference schedules. I know, I built this application, but I built it around my needs and it is honestly the most powerful tool I use each day for my blogging needs.
google reader(3) Google Reader is where I get 95% of my news information from for Search Engine Land. I subscribe to like a billion sources and news searches, and Google Reader makes it possible for me to digest so much information. I go to Google Reader probably 50 to 100 times per day on both my laptop and iPhone. It is one of the most used applications on my browser.
apple mail(4) Apple Mail, my email client. I get several hundred emails per day and reply to hundreds. Without my email client and all the rules I set up for it, I would be lost. I am a nut when it comes to my inbox. I call it email OCD and that is exactly what I have. Between the blogging emails, work emails, personal emails and spam - I got plenty to keep me busy.
adium(5) Adium X, my instant messenger client. I use AIM, Gmail and Yahoo Messenger and it is the way I stay in touch with some clients, SEO buddies, blogging colleagues, family and even employees. Yes, I am often too lazy to walk into the next room to say something and Ill just IM them instead. IM is simply an awesome collaboration tool.
Inquisitor(6) Inquisitor X, I did a blog post on this in the past. It basically has my quick ways to find most the information I may search on throughout the day. That includes finding stories I wrote about at this blog, or at Search Engine Roundtable or Search Engine Land or Google, Flickr, Yahoo, News, and so on. It saves me a few seconds each time I use it, and I really appreciate that.
flickr(7) Flickr. What can I say about Flickr. It is the place I keep, organize and share all my photos. I use it mostly for blogging, sometimes for work, and also for family. I love how it works, I love the social features, I love the stats and new editing features. I love Flickr. It integrates will with a plugin, in iPhoto. It helps me do my job every day.
twitterific(8) Twitterific helps me manage all my Twitter conversations. Without it, I doubt I would use Twitter all that often. It is this little application that floats in a corner of my screen, where I watch the various Twits that go by. I am sure I miss many, but it helps me spot some.
itunes(9) iTunes is on at my desk all day. Between all the people in my office, I can probably listen to a new song every day for several months without any duplication. But honestly, when it comes to music, I love duplication. I enjoy my Neil Young, my Led Zeppelin, a bit of Rush, Jimmy Buffet, Bob Dylan, Satriani, and so on. It helps the day be a little more enjoyable, not that I need a more enjoyable day. :)
iphone(10) Last but not least, 100% not least, is my iPhone. I love my iPhone. Email, the web as it should be, phone, text messaging, stocks, weather, youtube, and an iPod all in one. The usability of the phone. The coolness of the phone. I just love it.
I think that covers the core ten programs and web sites I use on an average day.

Other programs or sites I use all the time but didn't have time to highlight include Movable Type, dozens of forums, custom built RB software to manage RB stuff (its huge and powerful), QuickBooks, Quicken, Snak, Word, Excel, iCal, iPhoto, Photoshop, TextEdit, BBEdit, Transmit FTP, Parallels Desktop, SuperDuper and more.
