Useful Sites

I’m working on a new project at the moment, it’s an intranet type thing so no point in linking to it, but I’m using CakePHP and thats been really interesting. Definately RAD, supposedly simple but it’s got so many really good features that while it is simple, it can be hard to discover the genius.

Christian Mezei owns SEOPedia and a free directory WebXperience – and he has big plans for that.
