Free Software Anyone?

A co-worker of mine tipped me off to a really great site, www.giveawayoftheday.com, which offers free software downloads to one and all.  Each day, the site updates with new product that is free for that day, and that day only.  The site is full of reviews from quite knowledgeable users.  Full disclosure, many of the products offered on the site I haven’t found a true need for, but every once in a while you will come across something pretty cool, and helpful.  

What I really like about this site is that it is one of the few free software distribution channels online that is beneficial to both developers and users.  Developers issue free license to their software for one day to a knowledgeable community and get quality feedback, while users get access to cool new products and know that their opinions will be heard.  And while this doesn’t fully embody the ideals of an open source computing experience, it does represent an interesting step in the right direction.  Enjoy!
