The toolbox looks really comprehensive, especially the rundown of online courses, "technical development tools" and project management tools. But also wide-ranging, I just saw that you have a list of "twitterati." How many resources do you have in total in the toolbox?

Thanks cgl009, the toolbox currently has 656 tools. Based on our market research, we had opened up around 500 tools, and our beta tester have added the rest.

Very interesting list. There's room for user voting and discussion, but how do you make it so any individual or person doesn't game the system?

Also since the list is exhaustive, what am I expected to do with this? A one time use? Or whenever "I'm looking for a tool" type of situation?

Thanks for the feedback/questions aaoun.

Re: gaming the system, you have to sign up/login with an email to vote and comment. Every new tool that is added we review to make sure the tagging is correct/it fits with a startup's scope.

And our use case is focused on helping tech entrepreneurs identify new tools as a task come up. So when you are thinking about migrating to RDBMS database, you can check out what databases other tech entrepreneurs have found useful/endorse as well as find options if you're looking for accounting software that is geared towards entrepreneurs.

So in a sense, based on reviews and discussions of other professionals who have used the tools, it is a platform for these entrepreneurs to figure out what tools are efficient/effective for their needs to build a company/work on projects type of deal? If that is true from my understanding, I think it is pretty neat!
