Update: Cool Sites

Robert Walters, chief information officer at Boston-based John Hancock Financial Services, visits the following sites:

executiveboard.com, gigaweb.com, metagroup .com: I use the research Web sites of GIGA, META Group and the Corporate Executive Board for competitive information within financial services.

aa.com, travelocity.com, condenet.com/mags/trav: For specific travel, I use AA.com or Travelocity. For more exotic travel ideas I visit CondeNast.com regularly. Conde Nast's Traveler site links to Concierge.com and offers some unusual travel options.

winespectator.com: I like fine wines. Winespectator .com allows me to search an extensive database of wine ratings to ensure I'm only partaking of the finest vintages.

golfcourse.com: I'm trying to play the top 100 rated golf courses in the USA before I die. I must be working too hard because I've only played four to date.

Sidewalk.com: The site keeps me up to date on current events and new restaurant openings for the cities that I visit frequently. They have never given me a bad recommendation to date!
