It's been a little crazy at work and I just getting back to my blog. You bring up a good point about 'google'ing. It's sometimes faster than going through my own bookmarks to find a site I use often. However, I am finding myself resorting to searching Del.icio.us than Google when I am looking for something new in a topic. And thanks for being so nice to me. :grin: Kyle.. you are a busy man! I admire your ability to maintain as well as provide quality content in multiple blogs. Consistently. That is a great domain name and I'm sure you'll do wonders with it. You are already filling a niche with Hack WordPress. :-) Stephen.. sorry for the late reply. It’s been a little crazy at work and I just getting back to my blog.

I'm confident that it will continue to grow, so I purchased a domain called "Open Source Land" that I may launch someday. :D More and more companies are switching to open source to try to compete, and we as consumers are the winners!

I agree that finding apps via Sourceforge is hard to do - there are a lot of apps there that are dead in the water, which makes it hard to find the gems. I found the open source stuff that I use from the following places: 1. General Awareness: everyone knows Firefox, PHP, WordPress etc. 2. Search: when I'm looking to solve a particular need I 'google' it (eg APD that we were discussing on my site). 3. Website such as yours! K, That’s a good website - Thanks!

Sourceforge is great but it can be too hard for an average user to find the right tool for them. The top 50 list will be a great help too! Appreciate the link buddy. :-) skarld, thanks!

This was easier to use than SourceForge or HotScripts to find the most popular open source applications. Here is the link to the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/top/topalltime.php?type=downloads" rel="nofollow">Source Forge Top 50 Downloads</a>. Good find.
