The internet holds billions of websites. Some of them offer great services and can be extremely helpful in our modern living, while some are just filler. And although we consider
the best of the lot (wink wink), we'd like to update you about some of the best web-based (no download required) services out there.
So, without further a-do, here are the top ten websites you should definitely bookmark!

4. Yapta - Get a refund on overpriced airline tickets!
Yapta is a great site for anyone planning to fly domestic or international. This great website offers two services: It will check all flight prices and alert you when the lowest ones are available (i.e. someone cancelled). But in our opinion, its BEST service is AFTER you've bought your tickets. Yapta will continue looking for cheaper tickets and will get you a refund from the airline if your tickets are more expensive!
3. Retailmenot - Get updated and save money with the very best coupons for any shop or service!
Retailmenot is a super handy site for those smart shoppers who like to find good deals, especially for shops and services they use on a regular basis. You will get email notifications on hot new coupons coming out, so you can take advantage of them immediately!
2. Google Voice - Make FREE phone calls from an completely web-based service!
Most voice over IP and messaging services (think Skype) require a download, but not Google Voice. It's a completely web-based inbox for voicemail (which it transcribes) and text messages, and it will even help you place a call on your own phone. Pair it up with your other voice services and you'll have a communication power tool. (It's free, but calling overseas can cost you.)
1. Jolicloud - An amazing virtual desktop with all your apps, facebook photos and videos!
Want to get access to the apps above and more in a made-to-match, online space that you can access swiftly from any computer you want? Jolicloud is just that: a webpage "desktop" where you can get access to applications like Gmail, Office Live, and much more—even the web-version of downloadable tools like Dropbox, Skype, Google Voice, or VLC player. Jolicloud has its own app center, so you can add more at any time!
