Securely and openly link, track, and manage your online identities.
Findmeon.com solves a problem that many have today. What if you had a place where you could go to find out how to contact anyone on any number of services? You could find them on gmail. Or locate their Flickr account. Or even check out their del.icio.us bookmarks. That’s what this site is designed to do. Create badges, do shout-outs, and locate your friends. A great place to do all of this and more!

A free online office-suite similar to Microsoft Office, Zoho offers a free online writing application, spreadsheet, powerpoint, CRM, database creator, project managment, planner, chat, polling and candidate evaluation. Some utilities and applications are free up to a number of users or other criteria and may have a charge over that, but otherwise this is an excellent alternative to Office.

A site that lists all of the free music and videos on iTunes, subscribe to the RSS feed and stay up to date, nothing like free!

So here’s the deal, you call a phone number in the US listed on the website, when the gateway answers, enter 011 then the country code and number you want to reach (mobile users, do not hit SEND - the call will go through on it’s own). For Canada dial 1 plus the area code and number. That’s it! No gimmicks or catch as far as we can tell. The site says they hope the service will stay free for at least three years, so dial away. As long as you have free long distance for calls in the US you’re good to go.

Traineo.com goes by the idea that motivation for getting in shape and losing weight is best done by your family and friends. It sends your progress to 4 of your friends/family members and they encourage you, keep you accountable and most of all motivate you to keep going. I’m a stick, and also exercise lazy, so I have no need for this site yet, but I will one day.

Convert your music/movie/picture/document, etc files to a host of other formats, online, for free. A very easy way to convert your files to work on your iPod or cell phone. I successfully converted some mp3’s I had so they could work on my phone. A great site!

This new site allows users to submit links to their database and check to see if they are phishing sites. You can also search the links others have posted to see if they check out. Very helpful for when you get those Paypal and eBay emails…

They do just what the name says, list all sorts of grocery coupons for you to print out at home. For people like my mom and grandpa. Maybe I’ll get smart and start doing this one day…

You can compare between different companies’ prices and services. Very cool and a big timesaver!

Findlaw.com is a really cool resource to find legal information on a wide variety of topics. It’s easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. You can also search for a lawyer if you need one.

PURE GENIOUS. Call-in-sick.com allows you to pre-record a message and then send it to your boss at any time you like, free!. This allows you to sleep in while your message gets sent to your boss at…say…5am in the morning. I suppose you could record other messages to use for other purposes….

Another list of open-source programs to download. This one has much more content than opensourcewindows.org, however it doesn’t look pretty. It is an excellent directory of programs, however.

All the statistics you ever wanted to know about, and plenty more that you didn’t…this site is full of them. From animals to the government and everything in between, this site has the stats for ya. You DID want to know the date on which American automobile factories stopped producing cars for 3 1/2 years, right?

A new site which allows you to review and read reviews of things in your area - restaurants, entertainment, organizations, schools, whatever. It tries to be just as much of a community site as a review site. If enough people get in there and review stuff it could turn out to be an excellent source of information for where you live.
