100+ useful things you need to know about

Our last WebClub meeting of 2012 was entitled “200 things you need to know about”.

I gave a rundown of lots and lots of free tools, resources and services that every VolCom organisation playing with technology – especially those dealing with websites – should know about.

My emphasis was on free tools.  So plenty of useful resources that can make an impact on the way groups use technology with no need for funding!

I’m sharing this list here.  Looks like I was a bit optimistic saying 200, but there’s at least 100 resources here – and I’m sure it will grow.

The list below is dynamic.  They’re not all there as I write this, but the list will keep on growing, so bookmark this page and keep coming back.

Technical note

This list is automatically generated from a list of bookmarks I’m maintaining in pinboard.in (not a free resource but very useful).

As I add or alter bookmarks they automatically appear here.  They do that because this website (in WordPress) is using the HungryFeed plugin to display an RSS feed of my links.  Pinboard is helpful because it can generate RSS feeds of any groups/tags of public links.  So each time I add a bookmark it appears here.

If you want to follow this list yourself via an RSS reader then you can.  Just use the feed:

If you want to play around with more techniques like this, come along to WebClub where we discuss this sort of thing!
