RSSTop55 - Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites - Robin Good' Sharewood Tidings

  • Page shows the blog directory, a description of it and the link to the site with information on how to submit your site.
     - helaine on 2007-02-21

  • I have personally tested each one of these services to make sure that they are alive and functioning.



    One of the key benefits of this reference list is that it provides all of the submission links directly, so that you don't have to waste any time at all to find these at each destination site. This by itself is a significant effort, especially as a number of sites make it consciously hard to find this info, in order to discourage spam and superficial or automated submissions. In some cases I have been able to dig out valuable emails and contact forms after a lot of searching.



    I have not included regional or geographically limited directories or search engines, and have dropped any service that did not look reliable or trustable.

Thanks for trying the Visual Thesaurus

  • The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus which creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words. Its innovative display encourages exploration and learning. You'll understand language in a powerful new way.

  • Why do people buy the Visual Thesaurus?


    Count the reasons. Copywriters use it as an idea generator. Writers use it to
    get unblocked. Students use it to improve how they read, write and think (not to
    mention prepping for the SAT). Marketers use it to come up with names. Teachers use
    it to energize their classrooms. Professionals use it to spiff up their PowerPoints.
    You can use it for all these reasons or just to waste a little time. But productively, of course.

  • finding a toll-free phone number



    To find the toll-free phone number for any US-based company, try calling
    1-800-555-1212 or search Google for company name plus "phone numbers".
    Or maybe even searching for the company name and "president office"
    or "investor relations".

    Tip: did you know that your phone company charges
    $1.49 or more each time you call 411? Instead, try using
    1-800-FREE-411.

Apple - Thoughts on Music

  • To begin, it is useful to remember that all iPods play music that is free of any DRM and encoded in “open” licensable formats such as MP3 and AAC. iPod users can and do acquire their music from many sources, including CDs they own. Music on CDs can be easily imported into the freely-downloadable iTunes jukebox software which runs on both Macs and Windows PCs, and is automatically encoded into the open AAC or MP3 formats without any DRM. This music can be played on iPods or any other music players that play these open formats.
