These are good, especially the online and cloud-based services. I like that we can do so much online now, and for little cost. These resources are really good for startups and/or tight budgets. I hadn’t been reading the O’Reilly blog, which looks great, so thanks for sharing!

Christian, thanks for a diverse list. A few to note to myself to look at further are FMYI, Mindomo and Duarte. Some of my favorites that I use on an ongoing basis are SlideShare and Tweetdeck. And thanks for the reminders on Wordle and Animoto – I’ve seen these in action before, and seeing them again makes me want to jump in again!

Christian, this is a great list, and fits right in with an environmental scanning project I’m doing for a client. Ted.com and Technologyreview.com are “go-to’s” but I hadn’t checked out the O’Reilly blog – great recommendation, and thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Excellent collection of resources! The cluetrain stuff is classic and still very relevant. Yammer is very interesting right now WRT others like Jive. Of course TED is priceless, and Salesforce is VERY interesting right now – especially the Chatter platform and Benioff’s blogging and writing around social business!
Didn’t know about jigsaw and it looks great! Also very excited to learn about the work you’re doing with Room to read.
Thanks, Christian – as always you have your finger on the pulse of many important directions and trends!
