The Ultimate List of Freebies on the Web

If you haven't heard of Mashable, here is the blurb from the site:

With in excess of 5 million monthly pageviews, Mashable is the world's largest blog on social networking.




What does that mean? It means sites like MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, hi5, Piczo, Bebo and YouTube.




If you're launching a new social network, or a tool that plugs into MySpace and the rest, Mashable wants to know!




Mashable is written by Pete Cashmore, a new media expert. It ranks among the Top 100 blogs worldwide.

Anyway, beyond that, it is a site that makes lists. The top 40 this, the top 10 that, etc. Today I stopped by for a look and I got the ultimate time waster, 5000+ Resources to Do Just About Anything Online. There goes the rest of the weekend.




This post has just about everything you can imagine. Keeping in the spirit of this blog, here are a few of the topics covered:

• 6 Key Ways to Measure Your Blog's Success


• 30+ AJAX-Powered WordPress Plugins


• 50+ Ways to Track Website Traffic


• 120+ Resources for Bloggers


• 40+ Firefox Add-ons for High Speed Blogging


• 40+ Free Blog Hosts


• 70+ Podcasting Tools and Resources


• 50 Great Widgets For Your Blog


• 120+ RSS Resources

• 30+ 1-Column WordPress Themes


• 30+ WordPress 2-Column Themes

• 50+ WordPress Plugins for Multimedia


• 30+ WordPress Plugins To Get More Blog Readers


• 30+ Tools to Turn WordPress into a Personal Hub


• 17 WordPress Plugins For AdSense


• 30+ WordPress Plugins for Statistics

And that's just the first section. It also has sections for Communications tools, photo & video editing, productivity tools, web browsing and development, search and bookmarking. Come to think of it, this post at mashable has just about put me out of business. I guess I'll have to do some hard thinking to come up with topics that haven't already been covered.




Thanks Mashable.
