A while ago Christian Gray asked a number of people (Joe Andrieu, Tony Winders, Mike Reid, Michael Lodge, William Hayes, Richard Weddle, Scott Lemon, me and Ian Palmer) to send him a list of Web sites and applications that they found valuable. Here's the list (in no particular order):

  1. http://www.kiva.org -- microloans, loans that change lives
  2. http://www.linkedin.com - professional social networking (free and premium) - best way to leverage your professional network
  3. http://www.getfriday.com -- virtual assistant, we first read about them in the book The World Is Flat
  4. http://www.ning.com -- start your own social network/project group today, very easy for non-techs
  5. http://www.google.com/alerts + http://www.google.com/reader - stay on top of info in an automated fashion
  6. http://www.zemanta.com - automatic links, associated photos, related articles and tags for your blog
