Dave Seah offers up a nifty system for prioritizing, tracking and managing your time. There are a few cool spinoffs too (like this one with some insights on time tracking by Blue Flavor). - Springwise (profiled here on WH) used to only offer monthly updates of their goodness, now it's daily. Nice.

They "help marketers, CEOs, researchers, and anyone else interested in the future of business and consumerism, to dream up new goods, services and experiences for (or even better, with) their customers." - Video presentations done at Google
Featuring a tour of the facility, presentations made by some heavyweights in the business world, and even a few from the top Googlers themselves. - SEOMoz hands out some "Web 2.0 awards" Several juicy resources there.
