Uberuseful site Ding It's Up is like the companion website to Down For Everyone or Just Me?. The latter tells you when a site is definitely down, and Ding It's Up lets you know when it's back in action.
Websites tend to go down right when you need them, so having Ding It's Up email you (or Twitter or text) as soon as you can get on with your life is totally the ultimate in relief tech.

I'm already quite pleased with myself for how I'm using online resources to make my holidays more organized. I've got my shopping lists laid out on Google Docs, all my party dates and assignments in Deadline, but who would have thought there was also a website for Secret Santa?
Elfster makes the classic holiday party/office game and makes it easy — first, as the organizer you set up the exchange, inputting money limits, sign-up and exchange dates, and then Elfster allows you to send invites to people individually, or they can also create a link that willing participants can click on to join.
