Despite your best efforts, if you’re active in social media, you’ve been drawn into pointless conversations. Indeed, that’s why many people stay away. But if you can tolerate a little noise, I’ve found the fruitful far outweighs the fruitless. Case in point:
LinkedIn Member 1: “This looks like a great resource. I just hope they are planning on adding more countries.”
[I bet you wanna know what he’s talking about. Stay tuned.]
LinkedIn Member 2: “Don't you find it encouraging there are more and more online tools available to us?”
[Who is this sickening optimist?]
LinkedIn Member 1: “I do find it encouraging. What's the best way to keep up with all these new tools? Is there a web site keeping track of them?”
Ok, I’m LinkedIn Member 2, and the short answer to the question about tracking is "no". But I've been maintaining a laundry list of useful regulatory websites and online tools for myself, so thanks to this discussion, I scored my first blog topic for 2015. In no particular order, here are some of the tools/sites on my list. (The first in the list is the subject of the LinkedIn discussion above.)
