5 Cool Websites Nobody Knows About!

The following websites warrant a close look simply because
they rate so darn useful! In fact, you might just want to
tear this article out of the paper right now and put it up
on your fridge — because I know you’ll need it sooner or
later!

* Hard to Find 800 #’s *
Let’s face it. When you want customer support, it seems
like the phone number you need is the last phone number on
earth you can find, especially a toll-free support number.
Enter
www.HardToFind800Numbers.com to the rescue.

The tag line on the site sums up the service, "You keep
them in business. Yet they hide from you. Until now."
Boasting 800 numbers for Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, Paypal
and more, the site makes it easier to avoid adding insult
to injury by paying per-minute for the privilege of waiting
on hold.

* Rentometer.com *
www.Rentometer.com enables you to compare rental rates on one
property or apartment against rents in the surrounding
area. The site uses a "mashup" with Google Maps to show not
only what other properties rent for, but their exact
locations relative to the property you entered.

The site rates especially useful for homeowners weighing
renting vs. selling their property and need a fast
thumbnail sketch of rental rates in the immediate area. Oh,
and if you currently rent, the site can give you an idea
whether your rental rate puts you at the top or bottom of
the local scale.

* DaFont.com *
Despite that fact that everyone typically only uses 2 or 3
different fonts (Arial and Times New Roman for me), a whole
world of cool and useful fonts exists online. Log on to
www.DaFont.com, browse through over 7,000 different fonts
separated by category, and then spice up your greeting
cards, web graphics and more.

Most of the fonts work with both PC and Mac, but the site
assumes you know how to install a font on your computer.
For PC, simply unzip the font in your Windows /Fonts/
directory. For Mac, consult your help files.

* OldVersion.com *
Ever upgraded to a newer version of a software product and
almost instantly regretted it? Log on to www.OldVersion.com and
download one of over 170+ common software programs with
upgrades that left people less than impressed.

For example, need to test your PDF file on an older version
of Acrobat Reader? OldVersion.com lets you dial back the
clock all the way to Acrobat Reader 2.0 (along with
versions 3-7).

* Any Chat - Anywhere *
If you like online chat, I’ll bet you maintain more that
one ID on multiple online chat services.  Well instead of
installing several different chat software programs or even
installing any software at all, you can use
www.Meebo.com.

Meebo.com enables you to chat on MSN, AIM, Google Talk, and
Yahoo! with just your web browser and makes a great way to
chat either from either home or on the road.

* Convert File Formats *
www.Zamzar.com makes it easy to convert files from most popular
image, document and video formats into another. Previously
you had to scour the web to find an app to convert each
type of file, but Zamzar.com will convert files up to 100MB
in 4 steps at no charge (and my tests on Word docs and PDF
files proved very promising).

Well worth a look before you buy a piece of software just
to convert a single file from one format to another.

Vin Czepiel :

Hi Jim -

You always come up with the greatest tips! I’ll definitely use 3 out of the 5 sites.

Thanks a bunch!

Vin Czepiel

Ophir :

Hi Jim,

99% of the time your information is indeed unique and very valuable. I’m a big fan of your work.

I’m a bit disapointed with this artcile.
The title should have been:
5 Cool Websites Nobody Knows About - Except for PC Magazine Readers :)

I doubt you’ll post this comment - but you could have at least added a couple of your own sites or told people they can find 95 more great sites at:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2174799,00.asp

Max :

Come on Jim, you could have done better than that….

Ophir is right, everybody and their cousin knows about these sites (OK, maybe not everybody). But seriously, there are more valuable sites out there than the ones you listed.
(Actually, I did like rentometer.com, they should have a similar site for Canada)

Max

http://www.infobulb.com

Henry :

Hi Jim,

I had checked up these sites and they are really worth your writing.

Truth is that I did not know any of these sites before now.

Thanks for your information.

Hugh :

I’ve never heard of these sites. I don’t read PC Magazine. Attention power users… Get a Life!

Gail :

Hey Jim -

OK - I’m as big a fan as any of multiple resources but these lists of 100’s of sites do nothing for me. I want sites that are recommended, tested and tried. I don’t want to spend time to go through 100’s to get one or two gems.

Thanks for the few great ones Jim!

Warmly,

Gail

David :

Jim -

I for one appreciated those web links because not all us read PC magazines or keep up to date with the web news.

A case in point - another famous IM guru sent his list a link of a company that offers a virtual US postal address. So those doing direct marketing from overseas for example can use this facility - which is quite cheap I might add.

This is a blog after all to share tidbits like this.

G-Man :

Tbe 800 number site looks like it’ll be pretty cool to add to my bookmarks. Thanks!

G-Man

BigJim :

Ophir and Max - (sigh) you two would bitch and moan if someone hung you with a new rope.

Jim

Steven :

Well Jim

It always amazes me how people will complain about everything.

I am new to the online world and trying to learn as much as I can.

On every blog or forum I go to, it seems like the folks that have been around the game for a bit, are a bunch of cry babies!

If they can do so much better, then they should be glad when you give them a chance, to put up a hotter topic of the day!

Keep up the great work and keep the great things coming!!!

You pal from Vegas!!!

Doug Lietz :

Hey Jim - Thanks for the thumbs up on these sites. I did not know about any of them. And an FYI… the Rentometer tool does work in Canada. Just last week I did some market research for rental suites that Cindy and I own in both Vancouver and Calgary. The Rentometer data was very accurate. I will definitely be using this tool in the future. Thanks, Doug.

Of course this isn’t ground breaking information, but Jim has taken the time to pick out some cool websites that are worth taking a look at for one reason or another.

This type of info is always welcomed as the majority of people reading will not have had prior knowledge of it.

Plus it has given me some good ideas for my own blog!

Thanks Jim, ‘keep em comin’ I say!

Peter

Stan :

These look very helpful, thanks Jim.

Ajay :

Hi Jim,
You are indeed doing a Yeomen service to fellow cyberspace folks…Take a bow…Keep up the good work…I am huge fan of yours and also keep telling my friends about your site ;-)

Rainer :

Jim, not all of us can afford to spend hours browsing through PC sites and mags for the latest and the greatest.

We all only have so many hours in a day to keep up in our areas of interest and rely on others such as yourself to provide additional valuable information, even better when it’s free.

I for one was unaware of any of the sites you listed and I’ve bookmarked 2 of them.

Send me more, I’ll check it out. Even if I already know about it, I won’t be ‘disappointed.’

Flora Earl :

That is a great list, thanks. I am in the UK and we have a site similar to ‘hard to find 800s’, it is called www.saynoto0870.com - it gives alternative UK numbers, either freephone or landlines, without paying top dollar for the privilege of calling your supplier

Bernhard :

Hi Jon,
here in Germany we have a special feeling for American soldiers who are doing their utmost to preserve the freedom of
the Western World and are risking their lives daily.
I pray that you will recover soon and everything will be fine for you again
Bernhard

Thanks so much I didn’t know these websites and resources! I’m very glad you made them available to us. Fred

Siti Nurhaliza :

Baghead :

www.AnonRecordings.com isn’t so bad either.

November 6, 2007

Internet Marketing Seminars :

Wow, Zamzar is really cool! Thanks Jim!

John R :

I just found this list, and the Meebo site is great because it allows your iPhone to chat with about anybody while you’re on the go. Thanks for the list.

March 31, 2008

Mutual Fund Trader :

Meebo looks fantastic. Like was mentioned above, it looks good for the iPhone, and it’s great for keeping up with my folks and my kids, who are on different chat networks. Thanks for the tips.
