15 Ridiculously Useful Websites

A diverse list of useful websites to make life a little easier.

  1. Crossfit

    A free fitness website that posts a new "Workout of the Day" every day. The workouts focus on total body fitness. The workouts are used by military personnel, athletes, and normal people. The site also contains an index of the exercises used in the workouts complete with videos and slideshows. They offer a newsletter for those willing to pay. It is an outstanding site for both fitness gurus and average Joes.
  2. Lonely Planet

    This site offers, among other things, an outstanding resource for anyone researching travel destinations.
  3. Retail Me Not

    A catalog of online coupons posted and reviewed by users. The coupons vary from sites like Polo to Amazon to Papajohns.
  4. Web MD

    Provides a reference for anyone looking to diagnose his or her symptoms or research medical issues. It is a good place to visit before making that, oh so expensive, trip to the doctor.
  5. Epicurious

    A source of cooking information ranging from recipes to techniques to restaurant reviews.
  6. E-How

    A reference site for just about everything else. Want to k now how to wax snow skis? Make pizza dough? Install a bathtub? This is the place.
  7. Kayak

    Combines search results from several different travel websites and presents them in a very user-friendly interactive format.
  8. Bartleby

    One of the better academic research websites I've come across.
  9. Monster Jobs

    Looking for a job? Need a resume?
  10. How Stuff Works

    A very cool website that contains explanations of those mysteries in life that you just can't figure out. A few examples are Murphy's Law, Pickpockets, and Light Sabers (Yes, light sabers).
  11. Product Wiki

    A wikipedia-type product review website. All reviews and articles are written and updated by the site's users.
  12. What Should I Read Next

    Can't decide what to read next? Simply enter a book title and/or author that you like and the site will recommend a number of books for you.
  13. The Universal Packing List

    This is a very unique website I found that creates a packing list for you based on information you provide regarding your trip and intentions/plans.
  14. Happy Median

    Enter your location and a friend's location and this site will tell you where you should meet (Halfway).
  15. Musicovery

    Seriously, the coolest music-related site I've seen. You choose the mood, intensity, and genres of the music you would like to hear and the site will provide you with a virtual web of music to explore. The web evolves with each choice you make. You can click on any song in the web at anytime.

Great list. Be careful of one thing though, many places will not take computer printed coupons.
#2 by Sophie, Oct 6, 2007
BugMeNot (http://www.bugmenot.com) from retailmenot helps you get around those sticky password sites that want you to sign up, quality has gone down however, but it's still ok for some very popular sites.

FreeTube (http://www.freetube.us.tc) lets you watch live tv streams, although buffering is involved. But lots of channels mostly small ones but there's some big ones like espn and fox and abc news or nbc.

YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) as bad as it is to hear it, YouTube for anything video. Within minutes of anything happen you can find video of it on YouTube.

WikiPedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) it goes without saying, but you can't leave it out of the list.
#3 by Garrett Santos, Oct 6, 2007
With Retailmenot.com, you don't print out the coupons, you enter the code they give you when checking out on the respective website. For example, if using a code for free shipping on all orders from www.polo.com, enter the code given for that coupon when completing your order on www.polo.com. No printing necessary. Sorry for the confusion.

what about WikiBrowser? http://wiki.chainofthoughts.com/
#5 by Brandon, Oct 7, 2007
http://cl1p.net/ - Simple online clipboard. Can be really useful sometimes. Navigate to cl1p.net/[whatever you want] and paste in text, or a small file too. They can be password protected if you'd like, as well. No sign-up.
#6 by Laughers, Oct 7, 2007
http://www.mysigchat.uni.cc - easy way to get and send messages through any social network (place the link to the image on your profile or sig or avatar and others can comment and leave you messages which you can of course moderate). Great way to interact or communicate with others when there is no such feature on that site.
#7 by Stefan, Oct 7, 2007
You've forgotten Smashing Magazine - probably the most useful website for web-developers.
#8 by Simon, Oct 7, 2007
Why is the bible listed as a non-fiction book at that bartleby site?
#9 by Father Time, Oct 7, 2007

#24 by Eric, Oct 7, 2007
WebMD can be more hurtful than helpful; self-diagnosis usually does more to make a user stressed and paranoid than it does to actually help someone out on the way to wellness. If a user convinces himself that he has X Disease, than one trip to the doctor may not suffice if the doctor diagnoses the issue as something else.
#25 by Steve, Oct 7, 2007
www.pixalo.com - a great photography site that helps everyone from beginners through to experts. It has a community forum were you can ask and get answers to you questions as well as equipment reviews and a free members gallery to upload your own photos.

#42 by bruce m., Oct 8, 2007
nice post

last.fm is a great way to find new music that is similar to what you are in the mood for, and just makes a great radio station to listen to whenever.. just type in a group that you like and it plays songs like it from that group and other ones. good stuff, maynard! :)

thanks everyone, for the tips.

Print free prescription drug discount coupon that can save you a lot of $ if you do not have health insurance prescription coverage: www.superrxcard.com. Most pharmacies accept it without question.
#59 by Anne Lyken-Garner, Oct 18, 2007
Great list and ultra useful.

By-the-way, the answer to number 9's question is because all non-fiction books are listed as 'non-fiction' at bartleby site, (as it would be idiotic to list a non-fiction book under the 'fiction' section). What's the point of your question anyway? we're discussing useful websites on this page.
#60 by Clexa, Oct 18, 2007
good sites i like the coupon one
#61 by Stone Heart, Oct 18, 2007
