Here's one more to add to your list - www.infloox.com - it's a literary search engine where users can look up the favourite literary influences of authors and also other prominent figures in society. Other features include finding connections between authors, getting book recommendations and being able to do a collective search (eg: give me a list of the top 5 preferred books amongst politicians in the US between 1900 to 1950)

Paul - This is great! I'm having so much fun going through your list and even the sites suggested by readers' comments. Very helpful indeed. Thanks

What I also find interesting is Maggie's slideshow of Paul's list. Gee, what an awesome way to play and browse through all sites automatically http://tinyurl.com/writerst.... I can even stop and navigate among pages. Good job.

I stumbled on this post yesterday and after reading its entirety, I went to Red Room. It's an amazing site. Thank you for sharing it here:)

Tokoni (www.tokoni.com) is another online community for writers. On Tokoni a user's profile is the collection of stories he/she has told. Less commitment than a blog, with more opportunity for conversation.

You made a giant list. Congrats. And blogging continues to die.

I appreciate the work you put in compiling this resource for writers and journalists. Squarespace will be a new one for me to try. And after reading so many positive comments on it, I suspect I'll hook up today for my site that is still under construction. Thank you

Your "recommendation" ruined your perfectly good PSA.

Great and thorough listing. Wonderful! Thanks! Bookmarked.

I find it hard to believe that Scribd wasn`t mentioned though for online publishing! I recently covered the service here:

I'm surprised you missed FortyChapters.com - the first site dedicated to helping first time authors getting up and running with their novel. It was reviewed by Mashable not that long ago - http://mashable.com/2008/11...

Great list.

I second your endorsement of Squarespace, which strikes me as the most-underknown and underappreciated website-making tool out there. I've used Movable Type, WordPress, and Blogspot/Blogger, and I like Squarespace loads more than any of them. Just blog, or build a complete website, even one incorporating multiple blogs. Use your own URL. Tear down pages; put new ones up. Have a blast with photos. Easy, reliable, and fun. No idea why more people don't make use of Squarespace. It's a really great service.

You should add www.writerscafe.org to the list. It's a great community where you can make friends with writers who will give you feedback, and you get to showcase your work as well.
Nanowrimo (www.nanowrimo.org/) and Script Frenzy (www.scriptfrenzy.org/) are also two things writers should do (if they have time) they're both a great exercise done with other writers. Nanowrimo is where you try and finish a novel in a month, Script Frenzy a script in a month.

Warning to prospective Blogger users: the service has recently started wiping perfectly legal, artist- and label-approved posts off music blogs; over the last few months many music bloggers have given up or begun to move, and a huge percentage of them have lost posts. In a few cases, the posts didn't even have any songs, they just talked about them. Blogger continues to have no comment. So much for "don't be evil".

I recommend using a blog tool that lets you host your own, like wordpress.org.

Good list.. I'm thinking of trying out a few of these apps now. There's also plurk.com for microblogging, but I don't know if it's good since I haven't actually tried it out.

There's also Scripped - free, web-based screenwriting software. http://www.scripped.com.

They have over 10,000 users and Eddie Burns is on their board of advisors.
