Social Networking Sites for Mothers

Top 10 Social Networking Sites for Women is a useful collection from Mashable. The sites they've mentioned are:

iVillage
CafeMom
Glam
ParentsConnect
Kaboose
AOL Woman
TeamSugar
ClubMom
MayasMom
Minti

Most of the sites seemed to deal with glamour, fashion and parenting, which is why I referred to it as sites for 'mothers', rather than the more general demographic of 'women'.

Cameroid

Studeous | Features

Excite MIX

Excite which is a search engine that I have little, if any time for, has launched a start/home page option. It's a direct rip off of Netvibes and Pageflakes. Main difference is that the RSS feeds seem to be pretty much limited to Excite, though it looks as though there is an option to add your own. As for the modules available we have emails, notepad, horoscope and weather. And that's it. How this engine keeps going defeats me.

Page2RSS - Create an RSS feed for any web page

Now, this is very useful. For pages that don't have an RSS   Page2RSS will basically create one for you. Simply type in the URL of the page that you're interested in, grab the feed, add it into your favourite reader and you're done.

Computer remote control

I don't know how many of you remember PC-Anywhere - it was a software package that would allow you to log onto another pc as though you were sat in front of it. Well, there are a whole bunch of free versions now coming along. For example, we have:

TeamViewer - Free Desktop Sharing and Remote Control. This works through Firewalls, works on Macs, you can make presentations from your machine to another, share files, chat, switch direction and so on. It's free for personal, non-commercial use.

CrossLoop  which I've tried out myself. You install the software and when you want to share your machine with someone else you give them the access code (which changes every session for security purposes) and they can use your machine. CrossLoop emphasis the technical support aspect of this service, while Teamviewer is looking at collaboration.

There is also Showmypc, LogMeIn, Foxcreek Copilot, GoToAssist, Radmin, ZolvedYuuguu, UltraVNC, RealVNC, TightVNC, Avvenu. Most of them are free, though there may be a charge for commercial use.
