I love Zappos! Free shipping in most cases, and free return shipping if it doesn't work out. I have purchased numerous shoes and a couple of handbags from Zappos. I have kept most because the descriptions are very good and stuff is usually as described. The few that I have returned were easy returns. Did I mention free return shipping? And the money is refunded promptly. They also have a really good selection and lots of search options. The pages load quickly even with all the thumbnail photos. Love you Zappos!

Realtor.com is a great site for anyone looking to purchase or rent a house anywhere in the U.S. The only reason I did not give 4 stars is because the pages are verrry sllooooow in loading. If they can fix the speed issue, it will be a homerun. You can enter a number of search parameters to personalize your search and see only exactly the type of home that you are interested in. You can save searches too. It is like having access to the MLS service without being a realtor. It is also a good way to check up on your realtor if you are working with one.

Mint.com is the perfect example of a brilliant website that sold out to a giant corporation and turned to crap. This website has the ability to securely and automatically update all of your financial information (based on information you provide) and then gives a one stop snapshot of your finances, including all bank accounts, investments, loans etc. The problem is that since being bought out by Intuit/Quicken, the site is now full of glitches and their customer service/technical support is non-existent. It's like the worst Beta site ever, except there are no programmers standing by to sort out the glitches for the final release. It already is the final release. Don't waste your time with this one.
