I have come across a few websites and/or products, often local which end up becoming a national success. In the age of the internet it seems the hopper has a never-ending supply of new tools to make us lazy, or just plain more efficient.... Here are a few of mine to start.... www.Ycharts.com (def worth checking out for the finance guys/gals) www.chicagobusiness.com (Crain's, although regional and they have been around a while, their business content is first class imo) www.statpro.com nccsdataweb.urban.org (if you ever wanted to know who-is-who in your area, look up a foundation's 990 via this site!) www.alexa.com (their toolbar app is great)
