Cool Sites
Jaime Sguerra, assistant vice president and chief architect, The Guardian Life Insurance Co. of America (New York), visits the following sites:
my.yahoo.com: This is the personalized version of Yahoo. I chose to list this site first, not only because I use it regularly, but because it serves as the outstanding example of an information portal-personalized, customizable, flexible, usable, solid, and reliable.
gartner.com: While I also use other IT technology think tanks, I go to this site first for technology and vendor analysis and rankings, especially in the enterprise architecture area.
cbs.marketwatch.com: This is my favorite site for in-depth, up-to-the-minute news about the financial markets.
newyorktimes.com: This site offers the classical music radio station of the New York Times online. I keep it on at low volume in the background to enhance my work environment.
travel.yahoo.com: Until recently, I used www.expedia. com for making travel arrangements, as they are fast and reliable. Now, I find travel.yahoo.com to be even easier.
