I have found Wordpress to be a good tool for developing web sites, as well as blogging platform. With the addition of static pages, it can also be used for content management. It is not as sophisticated as Joomla or Drupal, but is much easier to use.It is an open source tool, so it can also be brought in house, and there are various plugins available. I am in the process of learning, and thinking

This site looks interesting. Kind of like an ebay for services. The idea is for employers to post projects and have service providers to submits bids or proposals. The progress is tracked online, thru to payment transaction. I am wondering if it will gain traction and accelerate outsourcing. There is another one call odesk, but this one seems to be geared exclusively toward development project.

Article on best web 2.0 sites for 2006http://linux.sys-con.com/read/318320.htmI have tried some of them out, and they are very interesting. I also really like Google's suite of applications and I am using most of them.
