The most active forum for econ applicants is testmagic (graduate admissions,
PhD economics, PhD business). Auto
Admit and Princeton Review
are worth a look. For those on the job market, try econ job rumors.

Regarding e-mail:
The place for application-related questions is a discussion board. Clarification
in regard to rankings can usually be found in the methodology section.
Advance apologies to the many
friendly people who e-mail me with suggestions; I'm slow to respond nowadays.
My research and the job market have priority.

Updates:
04/10: (TM) This site has moved from econphd.net to econphd.econwiki.com! Thanks to all who have helped. Also, the site is now mantained by members of the TestMagic community, although don't expect many changes, at least not soon. Feel free to email if you have any suggestions, or do so at the TestMagic boards. The current administrator can be contacted at tm[dot]untitled^at^yahoo(dot)com
04/07: (CR) On a personal note, I’ve accepted a lectureship at the University of Queensland. The department is less
known internationally than my main competing offer, but hired outstanding senior
professors in micro theory last year and is quickly becoming recognized as Australia’s top research department,
certainly in micro theory.
I’m
already teaching at UQ as of February, so even less time gets committed to
maintaining econphd.net. But an update of the rankings is still on the cards
for 2008, given the wide interest – I will seek funding to hire research
assistants.
