Firefox
VirtuAffinity use the Firefox browser as a standard tool for our web work. We find it infinitely superior to IE and we think that Microsoft share that opinion as well. Hence Microsoft have been pushed putting some effort into further developing IE. We still think Firefox will remain the way to go. If we want Firefox to do something for us, there is almost always a little plug in application out there that will do your job for you. Download it and try the tabbed browsing or the ability to set up multiple home pages. It's Ace!!
Flickr
Share your digital photos with friends, family and the world with this fantastic free service. Acknowledged as being a great example of the latest web technologies combined with social sharing and networking Flickr still might be a beta product but it's flawless, and in our eyes, head and shoulders above similar services.
Blogger
Blogger is just about the easiest way there is of getting your wisdom online. It's about the fastest and easiest way of creating your own website and who's behind it all? Why it's those good people at Google so you know it's a quality product.
Thunderbird
Another fantastic, Free, Open source application from the Mozilla people. Thunderbird is a great alternative to the standard email clients (outlook express, outlook etc) with brilliant junk mail filters to help you deal with spam.

JC Business Services have supported VirtuAffinity from the very beginning. They look after some of the premier digital agencies in Greater Manchester and Tameside. If they're good enough for them, they're certainly good enough for us. They've been there for us through our rapid growth and they've made sure that everything is managed and controlled. They now look after our new business, PushON, and have been instrumental with setting that up. We look forward to a long and successful future with them.

If you have an interest in how technology can be intelligently applied, then watch Idaho. They don't really shout about what they do, but once in a while, you get a look behind the scenes and it's pretty exciting stuff.
