Startups often prefer to leverage 3rd party web services for features that are not central to the service they are providing. I would like to assemble a categorized list of these services and am hoping the SO community can help. For instance:

  • Get Satisfaction
  • User Voice
  • MailChimp
  • Campaign Monitor
  • GitHub
  • Codaset

It would be nice to categorize the services, for instance:

  • Community Based Support and Feedback
  • Email Marketing
  • Source Control/Hosting
  • Customer Service/Issue Tracking
  • Server Monitoring/Performance profiling

Please share any ideas for other categories as well. And it would be nice to have some simple details about a service, such as:

  • Are you using it, planning to use it, used it but canceled, won't use it
  • Any pros/cons to the service
  • Competitors or alternatives to the service
  • List of well known startups that use the service

I think this would be a useful resource to SOers with startups. Of course, if there is already a resource that provides this information, then please post a link to it.
