What Free Things On The Internet Should Everyone Be Taking Advantage Of?

It occurred to me the other day that I take advantage of many products and services online to live the best and most productive life I can. The Internet is filled to the brim with free things, ripe for the taking, that you can put to work right away to simplify difficult tasks and live more efficiently.

The only problem is you’ve probably never heard of most of them and, unless someone tells you about them, you probably won’t find them, either.

For most of us, there’s a small stable of websites and apps—you can probably count them all on your two hands—that you frequent and use each day. You cycle through them and, once you’ve made it around, you feel like you’re “done” with the Internet.

With a community the size of ours, I imagine each of us  uses something to make our lives better that others here have never heard of or considered. So, I thought it would be useful to make a list of all the free, online resources I use that make my life better.

I created a list over here in The Lab, and I’m slowly adding to it as I think of more unique and useful resources. It covers the gamut from work to life to travel and beyond.

But the list is not complete without you! What free things do you use that you think others should know about? Share them on that thread so we can all benefit.
