Overwhelming is the first word that comes to mind when reviewing Thing 8. On the other hand they're all interesting and useful tools. Having spent my formative years learning layout and design the old fashioned way I'm delighted to see all these things. I'm a little saddened that I don't have the time to explore them all but in the future when I need a way to spruce up the place I'll feel confident about being able to find the right tool for the job, and if this ain't what Web 2.0 is about, nothing is.
What makes it most useful is that there is no need for special software and as long as you have an internet connection you can access your work from anywhere. It's like being able to find your hammer or screwdriver wherever you go (which is the kind of service we really need). When we get universal wireless service blanketing the entire world we will be free at last!
