In the Post Gimme a List a Top 100 Tools for (e)Learning was mentioned.
Interesting, that the hits for good tools in practice are mainly free tools 
But not open source, as it seems commercial advertising is doing a good job in spreading information to customers.
And i found it again a bit strange that the tools are mixed up from different software backgrounds like webbrowser and social bookmarking instead of educational software or software aiming on educational processes. Maybe because they are not constructed the way people would like to use educational software. But it seems anyway that learning in this context is not an intended act but rather a fall-out (to describe it negative) or a intrinsic motivation to get the “cool things” working.
