Doodle: Find a time to meet in a flash
For the commitment phobic, finding a time to meet with others just doesn’t get any easier. Just visit Doodle.com and click on “Schedule event.” Without having to register or give any personal information, you can quickly set up an event or meeting with alternative times. Then just send the link to members of your team, and each person (again, without registering), can indicate availability.
Here’s a little video about how to set it up:
Doodle’s best features are free, though you can sign up for a premium account with more features for less than $30 a year. Doodle also integrates with lots of other scheduling tools such as Google Calendar and now has an iPhone app.
TypeWith.me: Easy Online Document Collaboration

One of the most popular categories of free and low-cost online tools is online document collaboration. TypeWith.me is one of the easiest, fastest solutions to share documents with colleagues. You simply visit their URL, click to create a new document, and you’re on a new site that you can share right away.
You can upload your own Word, text or HTML document to work on, or you can start with a blank document. When you invite collaborators, each reviewer has his own colors. I like that you can export straight to PDF or keep it in the original format. Another cool feature allows you to watch a quick movie of all the changes that were made and by whom.
TypeWith.me doesn’t require any type of registration, and it’s free, free, free.
NEW! The Cheapskate Freelancer is going multimedia. Watch this 61-second video for more details about TypeWith.me, and favorite the new Cheapskate Freelancer YouTube Channel for more videos (coming soon!):

TypeIt: Create that upside down “a” in your email
If you’re like me, a character with an accent mark or that “n” with the little hook at the end is a show stopper when I’m typing. I have to first remember where to look for the special characters key, and then I have to spend 5 minutes trying to get it right. And if it’s a foreign character? Fuhgettaboutit.
TypeIt.org helps you quickly type phonetic symbols to cut and paste into emails, documents and more.
Now if I could only remember which way the accent goes in voila.
See other font helpers here, such as Identifont, which helps you identify a mystery font.
