CouchSurfing

In the course of my travels I've received and passed on a lot of helpful tips to other travelers. One of the sites that has been mentioned to me several times is the CouchSurfing Project, a website for helping people offer and find couches to sleep on all over the world. I decided to sign up a couple days ago and test it out. It sounds great in theory, certainly as a way to meet some great people and save a few bucks here and there, but has the potential to be a bit sketchy. Luckily they do have some safe guards such as user and address verification, references, etc. I'm anxious to try it out a few times and will report my findings. Another similar resource is Global Free Loaders.
