Splunk
Splunk has somehow seemed to find a way to turn something like managing IT logs and data into something that seems to be pretty fun. But, just because Splunk seems to be having too much fun, they also make sure that you are always in the loop when it come to the activity of your servers, applications and any other processes that you need to keep tabs on.
Also, until you hit a certain threshold you can use Splunk for free, but after you grow out of the free version you'll need to upgrade accordingly. Their list of current customers is also pretty impressive, but not nearly as impressive as their sweet t-shirt designs that they wear everywhere they go.

Great hub. It's nearly impossible to keep up with all these great apps, but I love reading about them and trying many of them out. iWidgets sounds especially cool.
Glad that you're both as nerdy as me when it comes to this stuff. I'm actually giving a demo tomorrow with the rest of these guys, so wish me luck! Going to go spread some HubPages love to the rest of the tech world.
I'm so depressed. I haven't even figured out regular widgets and rss. But if I understood it, I'm sure I'd say that was a great hub!
Sounds like a very informative day. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative, Hup. Obviously, many of us are in this writing business to make a living, and much of what you're reporting on in this hub is potentially useful in that vein. Boy, I've got some new research to do!
Good work here. I'll be looking for more.
