As websites come and go, and various URLs are exiled to my lame and lamer mental file, some sites still offer a glimmer of hope by introducing, educating, and enlightening. I have no idea how I stumbled on Springwise.com, but when I did, I embraced it; a site dedicated to what's new in the realm of business ideas, services and products. 

They also offer a newsletter that keeps you in the loop and it often has me saying, "Man, I should have thought of that?" What I did think of was sharing the site with you. Check out Springwise.com and stay ahead of the business curve.
