My “Don’t Buy” list, a list of online marketing products that I recommend you not invest in, created a certain demand for a list of recommended products.
I personally feel that an “un-recommendation” list is something that’s far more needed in the landscape of perpetual hype and recommendations that is internet marketing, but it does make sense to also balance it out with some recommendations. I fear this list will always be a lot shorter than the Don’t Buy List, though, since really good products are harder to come by than crappy ones.
Like the other list, this one is also a work in progress.
