Woot is like a drug for impulse shoppers. Woot provides mainly one item a day at a very good price. The business model is unique and the site is very funny. When they sell you crap they tell you right off, "don't buy this". Then you buy it anyways!

Yelp is probably the best resource for those people that like food and like to find really cool local hot spots. It is hard to imagine how people heard about events before yelp. They provide phone apps for easy access and searching. The site's reviewing are so important that most local businesses have a yelp sticker on their windows right where the zagat rated one used to be.

Roommates.com is a worthless site. I went to it because I remember hearing about it a few years ago on TV. I didn't want to try craig's list because I though it was sketchy. I feel like an idiot for using this site. The price of enrollment is way to high and there are very few people on it. This is throwing your money away. They are also masters of the upsale, so prepared to be annoyed. I spent two month on the site and got only two responses, one being a nudist, the other one flaking. I gave up and tried craig's list and got 8 responses within hours. I found my roommate right away. I feel so strongly about it that I even wanted to make sure to write this so other people don't make that mistake.
