Useful web apps
Here are a couple of free web apps that can be very useful design tools.
What the Font
What The Font is a free web service offered by MyFont. It allows you to identify a font from a photo or screenshot - much easier than trawling through typeface catalogues.
Here are some screenshots from the iPhone version of the service:

As you can see in the final pic, the app did a good job identifying the typeface.
Multicolr Image Search
The Multicolr search provides a way to find images on Flickr based on colour.
