Gmail
Google is the king of webmail. When Gmail was invititaion-only, people were literally buying and trading invitiations for as much as $100.

It is the single biggest precipitator of the flood of AJAX applications that are coming out. Many, many people prefer its web interface to their desktop email client.

OpenDNS is a simple, effective method of filtering and monitoring the network activity on your home network. Various categories such as games, sports and adult can be easily allowed or disallowed. You can set up a white-list for approved sites, or a black-list for the no-no's.
