mouser:
thanks scott,
you gave me an idea about a section to add on best Ratings site.
i will add resellerratings (and epinions).

i'll check out the others too.

Scott:
Damn, and I almost mentioned Epinions.com.  But then I thought about how full it seems (to me) to be of "career reviewers", rather than typical customers, just dropping their opinions...

zridling:
I hope you'll consider my own site, THE GREAT SOFTWARE LIST, which has been recommending great software to users for eight years based on the following criteria:
__(1) Ease of use with a well-designed user interface;
__(2) A generous array of keyboard shortcuts (preferably customizable);
__(3) High degree of customizability where applicable; and
__(4) Affordability.

mouser:
i've seen your site before and loved it!
it's a really great site and donationcoder.com is trying to do something similar in our reviews/awards as you have been doing for a long time.

anyone who hasn't seen the site go check it out and read the good information at the bottom of the main page.  i agree 100%.

great to have you here :)

going to add your page to the links page now, don't know how i overlooked it before.. i wonder if we need a new section for great sites like yours to put them in their own category?


ps.
hehe - i remember how i found your site, someone made a post scomewhere about the screenshots in your "image viewer page" :)

Scott:
OnlineConversion.com is all by itself now in that category of Best Online Reference Sites/Tools..
we'll have to add some more links, like maybe some dictionary and encyclopedias..

http://www.m-w.com/

Online dictionary, thesaurus, and more.  Better than Dictionary.com IMO, because (for just one thing), it offers free audio pronunciations.  (Dictionary.com charges $20/year for its "premium" content.)

http://www.noaa.gov/

Free, authoritative weather forecasts and alert information (for the U.S. only, as far as I know).  A lot of other weather sites use NOAA data for their own sites.  If you pay federal taxes in the United States, you already pay for it, so you may as well use it, until the idiots in congress take it away to help the third-party weather sites compete.

http://www.mapquest.com/

Needs no explanation; there may be better ones, and probably not what you have in mind, but...

I'm sure someone will recommend http://www.wikipedia.org, though I'm not sure why.  The last time I made the mistake of using that waste of bandwidth, I saw a message at the top of the article that indicated the content was probably wrong, and needed review.  No credibility whatsoever.
