Are you tired of automated attendants answering when you call a place of business? There is a website called GetHuman.com that has solved that problem. GetHuman.com tells you the steps to take to talk to a live person. 

All My Faves.com is a great website that makes it easy to find a whole host of websites you may be interested in by displaying their icons, which are hyperlinked to the sites. Obviously Google is an easy place to find what you are looking for but I am a visual person and I love that All My Faves.com has each of the websites represented with icons, which is much easier to recognize.

Annual Credit Report.com is the official website to help consumers obtain their free credit report. This central site allows you to receive a copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each of the three credit reporting agencies offers a "free" credit report. However, they each require a subscription to their respective monthly monitoring service, which, to me, would mean that the report ins't actually free.

If you are interested in knowing your home's current value you can go to the popular Zillow.com. However, I suggest you go to Cyberhomes.com because it is much more informative and I have personally found it to be a more accurate reflection of value. But, then again, I may be biased because a good friend and client of mine was instrumental in the sites' development.

SchoolMatch.com is the school research and database service firm that specializes in rating K-12 using auditable data for the parent and corporation, including school ratings for the parent, Realtor and homebuyer, as well as school choice consultation.

A great site to figure what your tax obligation is MoneyChimp.com. 

If you ever need a great brainstorming tool go to Bubbl.us. Bubbl.us is a simple and free web application that lets you brainstorm (create a mind map) online.

Google 411 is a great new 411 service. Besides its ease of use, the best part about this service is that it is FREE!  Simply dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) and follow the prompts.

Another really cool service provided by Google is their text message 411 service. For details go to Google 411 Text. Simply enter "466453", which is Google on a telephone keypad, as the recipient of your text message
