You have really grown over the last few months. Good list. Thanks. I am sure there are many other sites that folks here would like to add. I like your adding Starbucks.

hehe, thanks... thats to point, which i dont really post in my original post, which is get people to exchange the links they got.. this way we can have better tools to work...

startbuck = sleep deleter = friend...

Nice post. Ever think about compiling a list of resources into a del.icio.us account to share with newbies?

I'm sure there are lots of people here that have 'killer' del.icio.us bookmarks. I'm not a newbie. Been doing this for about three years but I'm sure there are folks that have much better links and resources than me.

Way to go.

Good list. I'd advise taking off the future pagerank predictors as they are worse than useless.

uhmm really? why do you that?... i though that this was usefull to know that pagerank you will get in the future, i had never use this beacuse i dont care about my pagerank but some people seems to like it... =)

The rustybrick.com one is intended as a novelty... not as a true prediction. Keep it, but note that it is intended for entertainment only.

that's really good a post which should be sticky to the top of every forum.

Thank you so much!

There are so many tools out there, and yes I think we should compile a comprehensive list by category and make it a sticky.

Search Commands are another topic... there are a few specialty ones that I never remember.

Once the list is complete, maybe one of you exemplary mods can put it up as a sticky.

hahaha... i was thinking the same thing... i may add some, but i dont know all of them only the ones i use all the times, that are very few...
