Get Your Web Site or Blog Reviewed at YourSite.nu

YourSite.nu is a web site where members post and review each other’s web sites, blogs and forums. It also has its own discussion board and web development tutorials.

The site lists its membership at about 10,000 but I am not sure how many of these members are actually active on the site. Each time I’ve visited the site there have been about 30 or so people on it.

The site requires you to do three reviews of other member’s web sites before posting your own web site(s) for review. The feedback received ranges from anywhere between “cool site” to a dissertation on the fundamentals of proper web design layout.

The site is useful for getting basic feedback, but its appears to be more of a social community that a fully professional web development community – which might just be for the better.

Get Domain Name Suggestions from DomainTools.com

The Suggestion tool at Domaintools.com allows you to enter keywords and/or a product/service concept and get a list of available domain names that use the words you entered or are related to the those word.

As a test, I entered “web news” and got a list of 20 available domain names. From that list, five of the best ones are shown below:

1. WebNewsGuide
2. WebDesignsInfo
3. ClearWebMedia
4. WebBusinessInfo
5. SiteWebNews

As you can see, the tool can save you time and frustration when you want to find an available domain name.
