I definitely recommend http://www.google.com/fonts and I recommend it because it has a wide variety of fonts, it's user friendly and it is very reliable.

Have you watched Web Typography course by Mattox Shuler yet? If not I highly recommend that you do. Not only does he cover some great info on typography for the web but he gives you a lot of great reference too.

A good source of inspiration if you use google fonts (and there are a lot of other options besides google fonts) is http://hellohappy.org/beautiful-web-type/

There's a lot of great resources for typography out there. Some I recommend are Fonts In Use and the Typekit Blog

And another great resource to check out (although not a website) would be On Web Typography by Jason Santa Maria and A Book Apart

Yep get in the habit of using google fonts, they are easily used for development and they have some very nice options.

Those are some great resources Andrew, thanks for sharing.

Another cool resource is http://www.typegenius.com/ that Nick and Jason talked about on this weeks episode of The Treehouse Show

A new one for the collection. Thanks Allan
