Me likey.
With the amount of options presented, I am not really noticing anything that appears to be a serious omission.

Maybe something on Tools that help you figure out a meeting time, survey tools, and task list sites. I guess these would all fit under the Productivity banner. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Good point, Royce. Thanks for adding that to our list. Do you find this valuable?

I'm impressed with the defined categories & the possible broad categories. It looks like things are falling into place & we have something good to build upon. No other serious omissions- though Royce's suggestions are good additions. Do you find this valuable?
