Thanks to Stephen for this link. iStockPhoto is a deal at $1-$3 a picture but free is pretty good too, no? :-)

SurveyMonkey.com - Powerful tool for creating web surveys. Online survey software made easy!
Wow a great and useful tool. Slick, web based survey creator, analyzer. And priced 'for the rest of us'. Just used this for a customer today - $20 for the month and will cancel at the end of the month (its an option - a beauty) as I don't have any need for it for the next little while. Very affordable, very flexible - great stuff!

How about $1-$3 for high quality photos instead of $200-$300?
Ya, thought so...

Applications for Windows SharePoint Services
So, if it wasn't already hugely valuable, how about now with the addition of:
Team Work Site
Discussion Database and a
New Improved Document Library
Well, everyone wants to be busy in business and I'm getting what I worked for. Sadly, this blog is taking a hit (not that I spent that much time on it anyways). Back soon, promise.
Seems everyone is trying to fix their corporate desktop strategy to help users find the data they are looking for. Besides the obvious benefits of an Intranet (especially based on one like Sharepoint Services and/or Sharepoint Portal Server), a good, standardized and simple drive letter mapping implementation will help as well. I get asked this a lot (with business startups) re: drive mappings so here's my current thought/suggestion:
A, B, C, D - Reserved for floppies, hard disk and first CD Drive
E, F - Reserved for future (thumb drives, extra CD, etc.) Windows likes to pick the next available letter
X, Z - Reserved for backwards compatibility of scripting, etc.
H: = HOME (users personal directory) - permanent storage - (be sure to define xxGB of space allowed as a Quota)
G: = GROUP (departmental share - i.e. people in Finance would have a different G: than people in Marketing)
S: = SHARED (everyone in the company has access to this area).
T: = TEMPORARY (a scratch drive - nothing in here is backed up and is deleted/purged once a week but good for storing stuff for others to pick up - rather than saving non-important things in the S:). This drive is not nearly as important and I wouldn't put a strong argument towards it - merely a suggestion in places where users continue to want to share MP3s (tsk tsk) or other temporary documents.
