After more than a year of really engaging online, I've settled on a handful of tools and sites that I'm referencing every single day, some of them many times a day. I'm always keeping my eye out for new tech and content, but here's the current ones:




1) Hootsuite- a super simple dashboard for my twitter activities.
2) Facebook- becoming a more significant communication tool for my Agency.
3) Gmail- still the best and most easily searched email platform.
4) Google Alerts- This is where I "listen" to what people are saying about important topics to me.
5) Amazon.com- shopping and researching galore
6) SethGodin.com - Godin is a great daily read for fresh insights on the new business paradigm.
7) Anywho.com - a great search tool for phone numbers.
9) HARO- HelpAReporter.com - Looking out for PR opportunities for my friends and clients (and myself)
10) WeLoveCorvallis.com - a local blog where people who love Corvallis gather to candidly discuss important topics/questions.

Any tools or sites I should check out that you use daily (or hourly) ?
