Cueprompter: Free teleprompter to speak like a pro
Many people are using wonderful free tools such as Jing (my favorite tool ever!) to create online presentations. Cueprompter is a quick and easy way to script your presentation so your “ums” and “wells” go away.

Ninite: A super-cool way to download common free programs
Oh, I love free stuff, and I love people who make it easier to download free stuff.
Visit the Ninite site, and check off the free applications you want on your computer, such as Firefox, Chrome, iTunes, Audacity, Skype, AVG, Adobe Reader, Gimp… The list is fantastic! (And it reminds me of all the great tools I still need to cover here on Cheapskate Freelancer.)
Once you choose your programs, click to install, and Ninite will manage your installation. This is great when you are doing a full upgrade to Windows 7.

GIMP: Photoshop for free
No list of free and low-cost tools is complete without mentioning Gimp. Gimp is like a free version of Adobe Photoshop, complete with the whole gamut of tools I can’t figure out how to use.
It’s downloadable and works in a whole bunch of platforms. I just read they now have a cool animation package as well. Again — all free.
GIMP – The GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Although I appreciate the coolness of Gimp, it’s really too advanced for my meager photo editing needs. Instead, I rely on Picnik.
