Check out http://blockchain.info/wallet

A much simpler alternative is http://instawallet.org just make sure you save your wallets URL

http://blockchain.info/wallet is my fav now.
Another one is coinbase.com

Yeah blockchain seems to be the best option for now. I'd still recommend keeping only as much as you need there and storing the rest of your bitcoins offline in an encrypted wallet or file.

I've used mtgox as my wallet for a few months, but I recently switched to blockchain. It's a lot better, imo.

blockchain.info/wallet is the best in my opinion.
There are many useful features, and you can access your wallet from any place with Internet access.

mtgox.com - i think the best one....

but, if u live in EU countries - try to use https://bitcoin-central.net/
they have best system for instant payment over IBAN)

I also use blockchain.info, but I hear good things about electrum.org (http://electrum.org)

Edit: Good discussion on reddit here (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/16fxzu/electrum_client_has_a_new_domain_fantastic_wallet/).

MtGox is nice but the fact it was hacked before makes me very weary to use it. I went with blockchain.info and have been pretty impressed. Just make sure you logout or you could have someone mess with it :o. I find it better to not really have any extra software on my PC.

As some have said, blockchain.info should be the best choice.

Also have a look at strongcoin.com, they're very security-aware. Which is a good thing, if it concerns your money :)

As a newbie, I found blockchain.info easier if compared to other.

electrum is not really a web wallet. But, it is my favorite! I guess any wallet software is online.. unless you have some cold storage going on.

updating the blockchain on my paper wallet client. :p
