strategylaunchpad
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at strategylaunchpad reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
legendseeker
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at legendseeker added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
brightcanvas
Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at brightcanvas continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
