Movies & TV!

Alright, everybody by now should know about this site. If you are looking for information on films, actors, actresses, directors, you name it, it simply has no equals. I have a permanent link on my browser and use it almost on a daily basis.

You may however not be familiar with this one. If you are looking for information on television series, this is the site. With cast listings as well as episode guides on each and every season, Epguides is a handy reference tool.
This website checks the availability of TV shows on DVD. If you create a free account, you can even keep lists of the DVDs you own, and which ones you plan to buy. Invaluable for those library systems investing in classic TV.

Newspapers from around the World!

Want to read your local newspaper or perhaps one from halfway around the world? Well, there's a good chance you will find it online and save the rainforests in the process. There are a number of good sites which index newspapers from around the world. And here's a simple test on how good a particular site is - search for a paper from Liechtenstein. If you get any results at all, it's a good site!

www.newspapers24.com
www.world-newspapers.com
www.onlinenewspapers.com
www.worldpress.org/gateway.htm
www.pressdisplay.com

My personal favorite is www.allnewspapers.com. This site also lists magazines, radio stations and TV stations.

Need online space?

Just when it looked like Google was the most generous in allotting online space, Microsoft has upped the ante. Talk about space to upload your photos! 25 GIG! You can also use this space to upload files to backup online. Microsoft calls this SkyDrive (oh, I get it!). As a matter of fact, MSN has streamlined so many of their features, such as the calendar, address book, event log, blog, online office tools, etc, right now I'm curious how Google is going to answer. Anyhow, it is us, the consumer, that is benefitting from all these free services.
