WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Cocktail DB

The party season fast approaches and we thought we'd give you the heads-up if you fancy turning your hand to the old cocktail shaker.

There’s nothing like mixing the perfect Margarita to show your social credentials and the Cocktail Internet databases is...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Cineworld Up

Disney have done it again with a fantastic family movie.

Love those Mickey Mouse ears or hate them, there's no denying they can make a movie that appeals to all. Kids love them and there's usually enough near-the-knuckle jokes to keep the mums and dads from dozing...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Hotelly

You may think this isn't the best time of year to be telling you about a holiday site.

You'd be wrong - this is the perfect time of year to be thinking about some time off and this new site can help. Prices are always great at this time of year, so there's really...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Kodak Gallery

Ah, Kodak. The very mention of the name conjures up misty-eye nostalgia for the days of grainy, flickery super 8 movies and making every shot count as you only had 24 exposures on a roll.

Things have moved on a bit for Kodak, and although you won’t see their...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Technorati

Technorati's had a facelift (yes, another one.)

But this time they've added in some really useful stuff if wallowing in the murky waters of the blogosphere is your thing.

Check it out. As they say...

If you...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Mystery Google

If you’ve ever wondered what goes through other people heads, here’s one just for you.

Mystery Google is a fascinating social experiment shedding light on the cultural and sociological currents upon which we are all floating – you could say a...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Easiertounderstandthanwave

It's safe to say that Wave, Google's new communications tool, hasn't received the rapturous reception it might have expected.

It's been suggested that perhaps it is a little, well, "busy" is one word.

"Confusing" is another. "Muddled" works too.

It...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Dixons

Ah, the power of a good ad campaign.

Dixons is a name that we thought had gone forever – you don’t see their branches on the high street any more, but here they are, still doing what they always have.

Dixons is one of the biggest names in electrical...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Muzu

Watching your favourite music videos on the web is hardly a new thing.

Watching them legally and at a decent screen resolution is though.

OK, so you have to tolerate a few seconds of advertising before your videos start rolling.

But then you don’t...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Doodle Source

We're not quite sure how bored you’d need to be to set up a website which shows off all the Google 'doodle' banners that appear from time to time. Especially as it something that Google already do themselves.

But, we're quite glad somebody was that...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Tepilo

Sarah Beeny must be delighted. Finally there’s a place on the Web that isn’t obsessed with her, shall we say ‘stature’…?

But that’s not too surprising (the site, not her ‘stature’) as it’s Sarah’s...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Toshiba LIfe

Toshiba are having a bit of a golden age at the moment.

Their mobile offering, the TG01, is grabbing headlines all over the place, their laptops are selling well and their TVs regularly come top in user tests, especially since they brought us the simply magnificent...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Glasto

Next year, the Glastonbury Festival turns 40, and let’s face it, it’s looking pretty good for its age.

It’s the festival that all the others try to out do, and for one reason or another, they never quite manage it.

If you fancy a ticket to the 2010...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - promotionalcodes

If you’re still paying full price for anything these days its time you got with the programme.

This isn’t the only site offering discount codes for online retailers, but we reckon it’s the most reliable – more of the offers we checked out were valid here than...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Misi

Just in time for those of you who are super-organised and like to do your Christmas shopping early, here’s something a little different.

Buying that perfect present is always tough, but with Misi you might find just what you need.

It’s an online...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Wildlife Finder

Regular readers will know I’m a fan of the BBC. It makes me all patriotic to know that we have one of the finest broadcasters on the planet and, as I’ve said before, nobody does wildlife filming like the Beeb.

Sir David Attenborough is the quintessential presenter...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Rage

Jude Law is a transvestite.

That might’ve grabbed your attention, and with good reason.

Sally Potter’s Rage is a movie-making phenomenon. Not only does she get Mr. Law to dress up as a sex kitten siren, she manages to assemble a stellar cast of...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - autotrader

Once upon a time, Autotrader was one of my least favourite sites. It was truly horrible to use and awful to look at. But it was something of a necessary evil when it came to looking for a new car.

I cannot tell you how delighted I am to see they’ve given it...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Tredz

So, the nights are drawing in and you might be thinking about packing away the Lycra for another year - the bike is heading back to the shed for it’s annual hibernation.

In my experience, the best way to keep up the enthusiasm for winter cycling is to go shopping...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – rate my fishtank

Once upon a time, right here on these hallowed pages, I wrote that there were two kinds of people in the world: cat people and dog people.

Apparently there’s a third group – a bit like the Liberal Democrats.

And they’re a funny old lot, the fish...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - freephotoprinting

We love sites like this – anything that saves the legwork is always well received round these parts.

These days you can get your photos printed pretty much anywhere: your local camera shop, online or even while you’re grabbing your groceries.

Where...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - digsby

Do you daily download data from dozens of different domains?

Then you’ll definitely dig Digsby, because Digsby’s a diggable dude.

Don’t dawdle, download Digsby directly

If you have a website that you want...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - quirky

There are quite a few sites out there extolling the virtues of cool, modern design. But quirky.com lets you have your say on the matter.
Product developers and entrepreneurs put up the fruits of their labour and you can have your say.

It’s not quite Dragon’s...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - spareground

I’m not too proud to tell you all that our house is quite small. Mrs H operates a strict ‘one in, one out’ policy on any of the things I always find myself wanting to buy: new bikes, new cameras, new shirts, new trainers.

We also don’t have a garage, so when...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – The Hoog

So, have you got your New Year sorted? It’s not a daft question if you’re planning on doing anything north of the border this year. Scotland has become the unofficial home of the New Year with its Hogmanay celebrations dominating the TV festivities for as long as we can...
