Website suggestions?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:23 am

At work they've asked me to suggest 5 good websites for a feature on the radio. They have to be either really useful or just creative.

Any ideas? (First person to say transfans.net gets a smacked bottom)

Wikipedia
Google
IMDb

With those, I can conquer the world! Bwahaha.

Ahem.

Cinematical.com is great fun. Multiblog movie site type thing.

Urbandictionary?

BBC (music, cult TV, etc)
Google (groups, maps, etc)
Wikipedia
Slashdot
Amazon (for reviews rather than buying)
eBay

yup, what they've said

between google (spec. google groups), wikipedia, b3ta and slashdot i don't get much work done during the day.

someone pointed out reddit.com to me the other day, whilst not a visually impressive site, it's all in the content baby!

surprised no one has mentioned pr0n yet

Love to, but their homepage currently has a link to 'F*cktard'. Not suitable for our listeners!

Everyhit.com?

Okay, so it only lumps things by month and covers the top 40... but it's pretty much bang up to date and the closest thing we've got to an online Guiness Book of Hit Whatevers.

I have nothing.
Although it is an excuse to post the link to the site with all the Tom Baker text messages.

I'm kicking off with imdb today. You can 'listen live' thru the website at 11:40ish to hear my dulcet tones.

I know JUST the site!

A place that has become a PHENOMENON to comic-fans all around the world... http://www.superdickery.com/ !!

Pure Superdickery... and once you're done mocking the Silver Age, then go by http://www.samcci.comics.org/_themes/best.htm - The Silver Age Marvel Comics Cover Index, and find out why it was the best age of all for comics.
