Websites of the Day

Every day this week Danny Cox and our Online Team are bringing to your attention some of the most informative sites on the net.


Friday
www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/wright/wotd.shtml

We'd like to say we'd thought of this feature first, but here's Miles Mendoza's Website of the Day page! Updated weekly in connection with the Steve Wright show, there's a full archive to get your teeth into.

Thursday
www.rickygervais.com

The first episode of series 2 of The Ricky Gervais Show has reached number one in the UK iTunes download chart just hours after launch. Ricky and his mates Karl and Stephen get around 300,000 downloads for every episode.

Wednesday
www.hillspetslimmer.co.uk
www.doglost.co.uk

A couple of websites that might help you with your pets. The Pet Weight Checker is an easy to use site that lets you examine your pet to see if it is at the ideal weight. The Dog Lost site offers a free service to help you find your pet in the unfortunate event that it goes missing.

www.direct.gov.uk

The government has launched it's own 'supersite'. It covers everything from renewing driving licences, car tax or passports to finding out about local schools, childminders and recycling.

Tuesday
www.wikipedia.org

The largest reference website on the internet in the form of an online free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. Almost completely user generated, the topics are endless and exhaustive, and extremely detailed. Type into its search engine a name, a place, or even your favourite band or food, and see the results for yourself. There are easy to follow instructions for any newcomers.

Monday
www.imdb.com

A huge online database of every movie ever made, with comprehensive profiles, biographies and filmographies of the actors and crew members who have worked on them.

Features include the latest movie news, the newest releases, charts, profiles, reviews, trivia, movie quotes, discussion boards and ratings.

If you register (which is free) you can join in the debate, as well as contribute reviews and add your ratings.

At the time of writing Crash, the latest Oscar Winning Best Film, has a rating of 8.4, as voted by 41,230 users! Reigning as the top scoring film is the Francis Ford Coppola classic The Godfather, with 9.1.

A source of seemingly endless movie information, a handy reference tool and an entertaining way for movie buffs to wile away a few minutes (or hours) www.imdb.com is Monday’s Website of the Day.
