App Alternatives for Moving to the Cloud

Now that you’ve got a cr48, it’s time to leave your old computer behind and start living in the cloud. Here’s a list of apps that have helped me cross over to Chrome OS more smoothly.

Google Docs for word processing

Scratchpad and Halfnote for note taking
Pixlr Editor as a Photoshop replacement
Picasa and Min.us for storing photos
Picnik Photo Editor and Pixlr Express for simple photo editing
Sketchpad and Kleki for painting and drawing
Audio Editor by Aviary for audio editing and Audiotool for music creation
YouTube Editor for video editing
5calc for a calculator
Chrome Notes or Sticky Notes  for a stickies program
RawScripts for Final Draft
Bitdrive for cloud storage of small files

Please comment and tell us what apps you use in place of old non-cloud PC programs.
