I've been assembling a list of these lately for a book that I'm working on. ( http://startingandsustaining.com ) Some of the categories are fairly loose as some apps don't fit nicely into categorical buckets, but hopefully this is a helpful list. --Browser/Email Testing BrowserStack ( http://www.browserstack.com ) Litmus ( http://litmus.com ) --Bug/Issue Tracking BugHerd ( http://bugherd.com ) Lighthouse ( http://lig…

Very nice list! If its not too much to ask, could you give a short blurb on each (assuming youve used it before, why you like the service)
