Incredible resource for anyone interested in alternative sexuality. They have some of the best educators in the business, as well as relative unknowns who are experts in their fields. It's easy to navigate by fetish, implement, educator, and more, and the videos are well-done and to the point. I also appreciate that they don't shy away from taboo subjects. Sexuality education should include all of sexuality, and they get that. I wish I had this when I was growing up and had to piece all my info together from books and radio shows!

  • Grubhub

Great if you want to avoid as much social interaction as possible when ordering food. That, or if you're just lazy. I also like that it gives you a clear set of all the restaurants within delivery distance of where you live.

  • FitDay

6/14/11

Incredibly valuable diet management system for free. Weight loss comes down to calories in, calories out, and FitDay helps you manage all of it in an easy-to-use interface. You can even input your workouts, although my one complaint about the site is that they don't include some common exercises, like the elliptical. You often have to input your own custom foods by using the nutritional labels, but they're all saved on your account so it's a one-time deal.

  • Etsy

6/14/11

I can't believe there are only 37 reviews for Etsy when it's become such an integral part of online shopping. It's an amazing online marketplace for custom, unique goods; things you can't get anywhere else. It's especially cool for geeks who have really specialized interests. All my experiences with vendors have been quality. Highly recommend checking out Etsy.

  • DeleteMe

2/19/11

Found this site after a friend told me that they deleted her name and address from spokeo for free, which was cool. I had a live chat with someone from deleteme, their site that deletes accounts and pages and things, to see if they'd be able to remove my name from mylife.com. I have no idea how they had my info, but it's one of the top google results for my name. They were able to do it no problem. It's a good concept for a service and I can see a lot of people needing to use it in the future.

I found this podcast while looking for new fetish & BDSM shows on itunes because there aren't enough good ones out there. Raven's advice is dead on, and she's funny and doesn't take herself too seriously. The website is mostly a place to post the episodes, although she has a few blog posts and her recommendations page is cool. My only complaint, which isn't really a complaint, is that I wish she posted more episodes more often. Can't recommend this show enough.

  • NinWiki

Man, what can I even say about this site that will do it justice? If you're a NIN fan, this is the ultimate resource. Lyrics, discography, photos, tons of info on Trent, trivia for the hardcore fans... it's all here. It's also an awesome source for NIN news.

  • Twit Longer

6/16/11

The original tool for when 140 characters isn't enough. It was originally developed by twitter fans unaffiliated with twitter itself. Purists will tell you that 140 characters HAS to be enough, but Twitlonger definitely has its uses. I withheld a 4-star rating because it's a bit slow and weird at times, but it gets the job done.

Wow, where do I start? For one, their op-out information is almost impossible to find. I had to go back and forth with their customer support via email to find out that, if you want to delete yourself from being listed, you have to send them an email containing the following:

Dear Been Verified Customer Support:

As per your privacy policy, please remove my listing from your databases:

A. First name:
B. Last name:
C. Middle initial:
D. Aliases & AKA's:
E. Current address:
F. Age:
G. DOB:

Second, even if you take the time to do the above, *they put your information back up on the site in 3 months.* It's absurd.

I'm not going to comment on their paid services because I've never gotten them, but I'd be wary based on others' complaints alleging credit card fraud and big, deceptive charges.

Why are these people search sites even legal?

Hi Derek,

My name is Carla and I work with BeenVerified's customer service.

I'm sorry to hear you had any trouble obtaining the information you needed, regarding BeenVerified's opt-out process. We actually provide an easy online process for individuals who wish to opt-out of BeenVerified's people search results, at: www.beenverified.com/optout

To get started, an individual just needs to locate and submit the listing he wishes to opt-out. He will then receive an email to verify his request, and then an email confirming the removal of the listing.

Please understand that we do not automatically put anyone's information right back into our search results in three months. We obtain and regularly update the BeenVerified people search results from various public and private databases. Although we and our data partners do our best to suppress the records that you opt out from appearing in our people search results, there may be times when our data partners provide us with new data about you that is different enough from the data you previously opted out – such as different spellings, initials, combinations of information, and/or addresses – that it is not possible to conclusively opt out that new record. Accordingly, if you have previously opted out and see a new record about you appear in our people search results, please repeat the opt-out process and we will remove that record as well.

For more detailed information about the opt-out process, please visit our Opt-Out Instructions page: http://www.beenverified.com/opt-out-instructions or contact us at privacy@beenverified.com.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Best,
Carla

You put in an address and their "time bar" indicates it found your record. You join to reveal...

You think your buying a one time search! Then two or three months later on your credit card...
