The Netvibes and Reader are the two that I will need to figure out which one I want to stick with :) I think I use Netvibes because it can be configured to be more than a feed reader. There is more of a social aspect to Netvibes (i.e. Facebook, last.fm and twitter widgets so I can track my mates and their updates) where as Reader is more for keeping track of all the feeds I read.

I use Evernote just to collect my research notes, clipping paper pages, website content and addresses..etc (basically like a high tech lab book) and use I Remember the Milk as a straight up GTD app solely as a 'what's next' kinda thing.

Im using Dropbox as more of a sync tool for me (Xcode projects, code samples, application preferences..etc) and the real bonus is that it will sync the Mac and PC which I really need. For me Wuala is more for bulk storage and a way of sharing with friends at no extra cost to me and since it uses P2P based approach it is highly robust and highly available and you can keep expanding the space on it.

Hope that shines some light on some of my choices.... :) but I suppose if you play about with them you may find that you feel more comfortable using them in different ways then thats cool and thats the beautiful thing about them, they are so versatile that there is a bit of give and take with their intended functionality. The whole lot makes my day a fair bit easier...but if you feel they are getting you bogged down or struggling to use them then a bit of consolidation is probably needed.

Cheers Thomas :) thanks for reading mate.

Evernote can sort of handle file syncing like dropbox and also has GTD functionality like RTM. gReader and Netvibes are both essentially feed readers. And why use Fluid for Evernote ? Don´t you like the native apps ? I´m just ranting here, but I´m looking for a way to consolidate my data in fewer services, and hence checking out all these 2008 list posts for ideas.
