CORPORATEHOUSING.COM – is site
makes it simple to find temporary housing
for short durations or the long run. Just type
in a ZIP code or a city, and the results of this
search engine will find extended-stay hotels,
homes for short-term lease, fully furnished
apartments for short-term lease, and privately
owned homes with rooms for rent. e site
bills itself as a resource for military personnel,
jet-setting businesspeople, and vacationers,
and it uses the same layout as real estate
sites to show off pictures and amenities that
come with each property. Getting in touch
with the owners of any property is easy with
CorporateHousing's built-in contact feature.
HELPOUTS.GOOGLE.COM – YouTube has
thousands of tutorial videos on any subject
you can imagine, but the credentials of most
YouTube users are questionable. at's where
HelpOuts enters the picture. is site is home
to tutorial videos and users whose live video
tutorials are scheduled and custom tailored for
you. e users charge various prices for their
services, but the number of subjects covered
is more than worth it. A quick browse for
"real estate" discovered one user named "Real
Tech Support for Real Estate Agents." e
site is a genuine treasure trove of information
for homeowners, agents, contractors, do-it-
yourselfers, and others.
THEWIRECUTTER.COM – Sites that review
tech devices and products are a dime a dozen,
but sites that do their own research and testing
on different products are rare. eWireCutter
has "best product" profiles on everything,
including camping tents earbud headphones,
the best standing desks windshield mounting
devices for your cellphone, printers, laptops,
and more. e hundreds of available reviews
leave out almost no product category, and best
of all, eWireCutter explains its research
methodology, ensuring that the site's reviews
aren't sneaky advertising pitches paid for by
manufacturers.
