Advertise things you want to give away for free on Freecycle.org, where nothing, apparently, is too old or damaged or useless to try to unload. Identify the freecycle group in your area (there are 800 across the U.S.), join the e-mail list, agree to some rules and you're in.
First, a caveat. This is not a directory of the 50 greatest websites ever. Rather, it's a tally of the best sites launched or piqued our interest in some way since last year's list. Think of it as our round-up of 50 nifty links we think you should check out. So get clicking!
