As more and more Websites becoming Web-based services offering real value, we have finally drank of the Kool aid and are we now hooked?

Lots of people love Emily Chang’s eHub, a site she describes as “a constantly updated list of web applications, services, resources, blogs or sites with a focus on next generation web (web 2.0), social software, blogging, Ajax, Ruby on Rails, location mapping, open source, folksonomy, design and digital media sharing.”

I find it interesting that it has so many subscribers, almost 4600, and I imagine it’s because people like the human editing of selections. None the less, there are a lot of services posted there and I thought readers might enjoy an even further narrowing of the week’s highlights.

From 39 services listed on eHub this week, my 5 favorite are:
EchoSign you email someone a PDF that needs a signature. They print and sign it, then fax it to an Echosign fax number. Echosign then emails a signed PDF to all designated recipients. Lots of security, lots of cross platform functionality. Pretty cool, I can imagine some uses for that. It’s a free service at the level where they store your 20 most recently sent documents. More features and storage at higher price points…. Source: Socialsoftware Weblog
