www.wired.comOne of the few magazines that are up-to-date or even a little ahead, yet writing their own ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and doing it seriously good (I hate recycled or retweeted eight-hand news)
www.etsy.comThe Ebay killer. Now mainly chicks and clothing focussed, but the first male ebay-retro-gaming sellers have arrived. It does everything right where Ebay stinks at:
No country localisations, you search all countries by default.
People who sell are real people with a name, a residential place, not floating 8-digit codes with a crap paypal email address to identify them
No bidding: only buy-it-now. I don't want to sit around at 4 am to check if I win something
The site looks decent (including decent pictures of the stuff sold), not My-Space like as Ebay does
Important for businesses: you get a receipt. Damn Ebay why don't you make these? Fleebay only mails a lousy email that is badly incomplete (Vat numbers anyone?) You can make a slightly better one for 90 days yourself on ebay's site, otherwise you have problems with you accountant.
www.amazon.co.ukAnd then other sellers, not Amazon itself. Those weird English sell a lot of stuff for 0.01 pound. How can they make a business of it? I don't mind those cheap books.
www.boingboing.netThe best of the news-digging and recycling sites.
www.rocketboom.comBoingBoing like presented with a nice chick in video format.
www.weer.nlBecause it is damn accurate about showers. It allows me to cycle in between them to work and back.
www.duckduckgo.comBecause I want to search outside my filter bubble Google creates.
