Love JIRA, they have a $10 starter kit. Works great for me! I can't afford more, but use it all the time with the starter kit.

Great software, great support.

Not really recommended. Don't get me wrong, I am a Microsoft kiddie as my working life depends on it but it is not very good.

The UI is overcompled, and yes I know that Google patented their simple UI so it can't be copied, but still relevancy is not too good.

And I hate the fact that other MS sites include some content on purpose that links directly to searches. If I wanted to run a search, I would Google it instead of opening a list of links that don't really have what I want.

Meh...

Purchased hundreds and hundreds of things here. No complaints at all, it is a great place to buy. It has something that I can't still point out completely that makes it stand out from the crowd. I've thought about it long and hard as I want to understand this je ne sais quoi to use in some of my work, but still haven't fully pointed it out.

I think it goes somewhere around ease of use, great policies on returns, fast shipping, amazon prime and good products all around. But, there are still a few things that I feel that can't explain.

That being said, fully recommended.

Great site, helps me pay on places I don't trust 100%, and is a nice way of getting paid quickly or from people that are bad when it comes to paying. You send them a request for money and they don't have an excuse, they can even pay with their credit card. No more "the check is in the mail" or "I will go to the bank to deposit tomorrow"

Good site, helps find cheap stuff and I did found apartments there twice. I would like it if it looked a bit "newer", but oh well I prefer usable and useful over looks.

  • Google

It is a great site, its simplicity and spot on results sometimes feel like magic. Only kind of downside is all the farming of information they do, but aside from that it is my #1 visited site
