One of the things we did when we first built websites in the late 1990’s was to provide lists of links which might be useful to other people. Better search engines and dominant marketplaces have limited the use of a “List of Links”. Undeterred by fashion, here are the various links to areas I’ve found useful in recent months, particularly regarding the geoscience consulting business. Practically all consultants have a website and actively use connections within LinkedIn, however, in geoscience there is not a single place to go for clients to find commercially available products and consulting services. Or if there is please let me know about it.
Please feel free to add your own favourite links in the comments and I will add them to the list.

A variety pf marketplace websites can be used to find consultants in the IT sector at rock bottom prices, but these are rarely used in geoscience.
