>> Collaborative documents: Google docs
>> Free, excellent.
>>
>> Video chat: Google Hangouts
>> Free, adequate.
>>
>> Web app monitoring: New Relic
>> Free for early stage apps, very robust.
>>
>> Bug and feature documentation: Skitch
>> Free, absolutely essential.
>>
>> Private note taking: Evernote
>> Free, great repository.  Good apps.  Note that Evernote really falls

>> because it syncs every 10 minutes, which creates constant version 
>> control issues in shared folders.
>>
>> Version control for software: Git
>> Free, simple, effective.
