Hi!
I recently made a (still very short) list of useful/interesting/neat online tools people recommended via Twitter, Facebook and – of course – Ludum Dare. The tools are suited for game designers, programmers and artists – and most of them can help in 48h game jams. They are all free.
The list is here. If you have any more/better recommendations, I’d be happy to add them. 
Good initiative!
I would add Processing and Construct 2. Those are great tools to do prototyping.
I think those are offline tools, and Construct 2 isn’t free.
But you’re right, it’s missing some prototyping tools …
character name generators and other things @ http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index-name.php
not really for gamedev, but there is this online drawing tool @ http://pixlr.com/editor/
plus there are lots of random game name/theme generators.
I know! A website genorator and HTML Debugger!
Also I will soon add tutorials on how to make a HTML website and put it up for free!
anydice.com
A VERY powerful dice-roll probabilities calculator, with multiple rolls, different graphs for outputs and data exporter.
http://tones.wolfram.com/generate/ for creating a procedural melody.

Added your suggestions – thanks!
Some programs by me, which deals with procedural content: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/169652/
Bitbof created some useful programs, e.g. Kleki – a painting program.
