Pandia has come up with their listing of Top 10 Useful Web Tools. Worth a look, though I don't entirely agree with their selection.
Yahoo Bookmarks is not a service that I use, since I'm not really a Yahoo person, and I prefer using my start page for the most used stuff, FURL for my long term interests and del.icio.us for anything mildly interesting.
Google Reader is also not my preferred choice - I've been with Bloglines for a while now, and while they're not perfect by any means I still like them.
StumbleUpon is a rather different social networking system, and relies on people finding interesting things, voting for them and learning from others. Never really got into this one, since delicious and automated searches does that job for me.
Vox is a weblog tool and it is one that I use - to the extent of backing up my TypePad weblog(s). It's as good as, and better than Blogger in many ways, and if you're looking for a personal weblog software package, this is pretty good, though if you're more of a Google person you'll want to stick with their offering.
Netvibes is their preference for a start page. I use Netvibes as my backup system on Internet Explorer, but I'm very firmly in the PageFlakes camp here. More flexible, better options, easier to use, larger user base - really no contest.
Yahoo Mail is another I don't use for the reason given earlier. Pandia like it because of the integral calendar, notepad and feed reader. However, I'll stick with Gmail for this one.
Facebook is a choice we agree on! Far better than the other options, and it's widely used in the information industry, so it's the obvious no-brainer choice.
Feedburner is a good call if you want to keep a close eye on who is using your weblog.
Google Docs is another choice that I'll happily run with. I still use Word for most of my stuff, but it's useful to have as a backup, or for material I'll want to access when I'm away from home.
Flickr is another 100% good call. There's an awful lot that still annoys me about Flickr, and they simply seem to have stopped dead in development, which is not good, but it's still the photosharing option that seems obvious to me.
