If you're on the market for a new ride, but can't seem to cut through all the mumbo jumbo of the auto reviews, check out Honk. It's a place that real consumers (like you and me) head to submit our unfiltered opinions on vehicles for others to read before buying. Reap the rewards from someone else's expensive experience, or learn how awesome that new hybrid car is despite your apprehension. Besides, you read the consumer reviews on gadgets, so why wouldn't you apply that same practice to your car purchase?

Website of the Day: Gazaro

GeekSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:07:42 -0800

Holiday shopping. Jut typing the words gives me some serious anxiety, so any site that helps make my life a little bit easier is a good site in my book. If you're in the market for electronics or accessories, you'll like Gazaro, a site that monitors sales fliers and store websites, alerting you when an item you're looking for goes on sale. You can also browse through the site's top picks section, including the latest and best deals.

Gazaro updates in real time, so it's good for finding up-to-the-minute deals on products you're searching for. After registering with the site, you can save your favorite brand names, stores, or products you're interested in and have the best deals sent to you via email daily or weekly.

Usually whenever I have a "Is this normal?" question, I turn to Google to get my answer quickly and painlessly (not to mention, privately!). But now with a website called Is It Normal?, you can read a plethora of burning questions that have been submitted. On the site you can browse the questions, leave comments, and once you're registered, you can dare to leave your own juicy "Is it normal?" question.

Website of the Day: MSN Twilight

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:50:12 -0800

Only one more day until the highly anticipated New Moon premiere and I know you were just hoping I'd squeeze in one more Twilight tech treat before the big day. And here it is! MSN has launched its very own Twilight website that takes you right to Forks, Washington where all the Twilight excitement takes place.

You'll be able to take virtual tours of the Cullen house, the Forks Police Station, the Forks Hospital, Bella Italia, the dress shop, the bookstore, and the high school. Just don't try opening this site using Firefox on Mac or else you'll get this message (which I thought was pretty cheeky):

"Let's say Firefox on Mac is like a vampire and our video player is like a wolf pack. . . They just don't get along. We don't want you to miss out on the Twilight action though, so try opening our site in Safari for Mac."

Website of the Day: More Cloth

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:15:30 -0800

I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop. But how do I find the right fabric? I could browse racks of fabric at my local craft store, or I could do it the easy way (without leaving the warmth of my computer) and hit up More Cloth.

This site works seamlessly with Etsy to lead you to your perfect fabric. First it offers up a ton of color schemes to choose from (like in the photo to the right), and then directs you to the exact fabric patterns that contain those colors. Finally, More Cloth shoots you over to the Etsy page where you can add your chosen fabric to your cart, and prep your craft room accordingly - just sit back and wait for your fabric to arrive!

Website of the Day: Duffel

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:31:32 -0800

There are a ton of travel planning sites, but I just found my new favorite. Duffel (find the site at duffelup) calls itself "a trip-planning tool for people who are not planning any trips," but it's pretty handy for actual trip planning, too.

Sign into the site to create trips - real or imagined - to any place in the world. Then add the Duffel bookmarking tool to your browser's bookmarks. When you visit sites of interest for your trip - hotels, tours, restaurant listings, or even just a random sentence or two about something cool to do in the area - click the bookmark to save it to your Duffel. You can set saved trip information to public or private, or opt to share them with just a few people, like family or travel partners.

There are more great features on the site, too, from the easy to use drag and drop interface to the incorporation of Google maps to a printable itinerary view condensing all of your saved information into a printable list. Duffel also offers suggestions to popular destinations like New York City or Las Vegas.

I've been having a blast creating and adding to a few "dream" trips I'd like to take . . . now the only problem is figuring out where to go first.

Keep Up With Black Friday Deals Online

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:05:52 -0800

As I'm sure you're aware, Black Friday is coming. If you're still having nightmares from last year's crowd-checking events the day after Thanksgiving, then you always have Cyber Monday to look forward to! But before we get into that, I'd first like to introduce you to a few websites: iBlack Friday, BlackFriday.net, and TheBlackFriday.com.

All of these guys will hook you up with the latest deal news from the Black Friday shopping front with up-to-the minute news on leaked deals, ads, and details to help you plan your shopping strategy. If you don't already have the iPhone app, jump on that too, so you'll have all your bases covered for the big (shopping) day!

Website of the Day: Filler-Item Finder

GeekSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:40:49 -0800

You know how great it is when you find exactly the item you were looking for on Amazon, but then realize you only have to spend a tiny more to get free super-saver shipping? You don't want to overspend, but you also can't think of anything else that you'd want to buy. This has happened to me many times when the amount I have to spend is less than five bucks. For these moments, there's Filler Item Finder.

Filler Item Finder scours Amazon for cheap items and gives you a list of things you can toss in your cart to save some dough on shipping, just by entering the amount you're still in need of.

Website of the Day: Apostrophe Me

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:15:54 -0800

Sometimes I just like things explained simply, in good old-fashioned plain English. For instance, it was so liberating when the guys from Commoncraft talked about Twitter in layman's terms, and now with a website called Apostrophe Me, you'll never misuse apostrophes again, thanks to their cute and detailed flow chart. Other things worth checking out on the site? Scroll down to take one of their fun quizzes, like the "How Many Germs Live on Your Cell Phone" test!
