Since I am always online, it comes as no surprise that I come across some rather helpful sites every once in awhile and today is the day for show n’ share! From car repairs to movie-swapping and story leads to the fastest way to leave a voice mail, I’ve got you covered.

 


RepairPal

In the art of wheeling and dealing, you’ve mastered a few choice areas. But when it comes to negotiating work on your own wheels, you’re like a deer in headlights. Now you can stop spinning your wheels. Thanks to RepairPal.com, you’ll never be had again. The free user-friendly site takes the guesswork out of finding local repair shops and trustworthy dealers who can get your motor runnin’. All you have to do is enter the car’s year, make, model, and the repair it needs, and your zip code. Looking for a lube? New ball joints? Choose your auto’s ailment from the list and the site tells you the price range based on parts/labor and nearby shops. The About This Repair section even explains the cause of the problem, proper precautions, and what else may require a fix.



SwapTree

Having a dilemma about what to do with all those books you’ve already read, the movies you’ve watched too many times? Forget donation, think “tradenation.” Swaptree is a place where you can trade books, music, dvds or video games that you own for thousands of items that you want all for free. I think I know what I am going to do this weekend!



Help a Reporter Out

If you’re a journalist looking for a source or consider yourself a source, HelpAReporterOut.com is a clever way for journalists and sources to connect. Developed by Peter Shankman (CEO, Entrepreneur, Adventurist,) this list publishes daily with anywhere from 15-30 queries per email. Let’s go to print….


Slydial

Have a friend who loves to talk for HOURS? We’ve all come across a situation where we wish we could call someone and go straight to voicemail. “Abra-ca-da-bra, your wish is granted.” Slydial is a voice messaging service which connects you directly with someone’s mobile voicemail. Hot bananas. If you think this service is totally ridiculous, it’s not! Check out the rather entertaining testimonials on the Slydial Blog, featuring slydial candid situations posted by slydial users. 

 

Celebrating the web, one site at a time! Cheers ~
