Google Play Music - my favorite music collection service. Same price as Spotify ($10&#x2F;month), but with the bonus of being able to upload 50,000 of your own song files (for any oddball music you have that isn&#x27;t in their collection) as well as YouTube Red. Generally less buggy and doesn&#x27;t have Spotify&#x27;s streak of weird&#x2F;terrible software design choices. (there&#x27;s a script for porting your playlists over from Spotify: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rckclmbr&#x2F;pyportify" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rckclmbr&#x2F;pyportify</a> )<p>Tweetdeck - I&#x27;ll bet a lot of people on HN already use it, but to any Twitter users still using twitter.com instead of Tweetdeck, I highly recommend giving it a shot. The abundance of information on screen will be overwhelming at first, but give it a day or two, and your brain figures out how to make sense of it and love it.<p>Pushbullet - Receive and write text messages from your PC via Chrome extension. Receive push notifications for just about anything. I combine it with IFTTT to receive alerts for RSS feeds of blogs and comics I like (my recipes if anyone&#x27;s curious: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ifttt.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;oxguy3&#x2F;shared" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ifttt.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;oxguy3&#x2F;shared</a> ).
