Good Resources for Doing Market Research

Before launching any business - you must conduct proper market research. So many people launch and then do the research..... Here are a list of great links where you can do research and pitch your idea to others and get feedback. I am currently doing market research for one of my clients and I thought I was knowledgeable about his specific industry...well after a few postings on some forums and Q&A sites and getting feedback.. I realized that I still have a long way to go..... Thats why these sites are so powerful for research, all you need is one person from somewhere in the world who can supply with the information you need.
