WEBSITE OF THE DAY - love the mo

It's the last weekend of November. How's yours coming along?

The Pocket-Lint team are itching and scratching their way through the last few days, but the parade of facial hair is really something to behold.

But now it's time to get creative for...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Hamburger Blender

What we love about this site is that we've all had ideas just like these. We've all sat round many a pub table and sketched winning ideas onto a beer mat and then spent the rest of the evening dreaming of how to spend the untold millions that are sure to pour in when...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Ninite

So, have you upgraded to Windows 7 yet?

No? What’s putting you off? It’s not like it was for Vista, we can assure you of that, if nothing else.

Maybe it’s all the hassle of reinstalling all your favourite apps that’s putting you...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Bloodhound SSC

It warms the cockles of this journalist's heart to see that there are still people out there who just want to go faster and faster, just because they can. I'm not talking about boy racers in their Citroen Saxos making a nuisance of themselves on British roads though.

Meet...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Doggie Style Store

It was with a certain amount of trepidation that I went searching for this one. It's not normally the sort of thing I'd type into Google.

I'd like to believe that the people behind this site didn't think about the sniggers and smirks that their URL might generate,...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Textatrack

The music business ain’t no joke. Getting by is tough and getting started on the road to stardom isn’t all plain sailing. Even if you do get noticed and start to get your music out there for people to enjoy, the chances are that anybody selling it for you...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Fingertips

Seen the news lately? There’s a little bit of everything going on at the moment, don’t you think?

Political skulduggery, celebrity gossip, industrial intrigue. Keeping track is an epic undertaking.

If only there was somewhere you could go to...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Twitterfall

So. You want to see what the latest trends are on Twitter. And you want to know what they are in a particular location. And you want to see the related tweets arrive in real time. But you don’t want to see tweets from, let’s say people called Derek. But you...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Vetika

We may not know much about art (it’s been said before, after all), but we do know we like this site.

Vetika sells limited edition art, prints and photography from some of the best emerging talent around. And at prices that won’t break the bank.

The...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Parentline Plus

The world is changing at an alarming rate. Technology is making our lives faster, better and easier to manage and most of us can’t imagine where we’d be without a mobile phone and an internet connection.

But, as always, there’s a price to pay.

Bullying...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – 80s-izer

It’s official – the Eighties are back.

For those of us who had to endure them the first time, it’s something of an ordeal. Legwarmers, a perm, hoop earrings and no socks was never a good look. Especially on blokes.

But, a new generation...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Trivial Pursuit – Battle of the Sexes

This is an argument that has raged since Adam and Eve first clapped their eyes on that apple.

Who is smarter - men or women?

I know the answer in my house: Mrs H knows everything.

I just think I do.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – The App Garden

Apps make life worth living don’t they? There’s 85,000 of the things available just for the iPhone and in the past few months everybody’s been jumping on the appy bandwagon.

Flickr are no exception as they launch their App Garden.

I say...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - berlintwitterwall.com

20 years ago the Berlin Wall came down bringing with it an end to the iron curtain and freedom to many people.

At the time the wall was covered in graffiti with people sending their message of hope for a better world.

20 years later, and people of the...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Speech Soccer

If you’re a footy fan, then it’s fair to say you might have spent a fair amount of time this weekend shouting at a TV screen somewhere, am I right?

Let’s face it: the refs don’t know what they’re doing, the players are overpaid and...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Inside Source

There is, apparently, a whole bunch of people out there who've never heard of eBay.

At least that’s what eBay themselves think, so they’ve set up this fashion trend spotting site in an attempt to attract style-conscious shoppers with money to burn.

Admittedly...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Boxby

There are some rare things in this world.

Giant pandas for one.

A single decent TV programme on a Saturday night is another. But right now, one of the rarest things is a plain old-fashioned mail delivery. The postal worker's strike action is being felt...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Intel Sky

Ever fancied a peek behind the scenes at Intel?

Sky have pulled it off and sent a roving reporter to San Fran to see what he can find out. These webisodes take a look at the next generation of Intel products.

And if this is what they’re happy to...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Royal Fail

You’d like to think that the CWU and Royal Mail workers who are currently on strike might have a sense of humour about things.

Apparently not. They’re not too keen on this spoof game, according to some reports we’ve read. To them it's about as...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Shirts My Way

If there’s a worse job than having to iron a shirt on a Sunday night, I don’t know what it is. It’s that awful realisation that the weekend is over and you’re back to the daily grind.

The task is made more bearable if the shirt you’re...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Ghostbusters map

There are people who like movies and then there are movie fans.

This site is definitely aimed at the latter.

It's an interactive map of where the spectres and apparitions were seen in the classic ghoulish comedy Ghostbusters.

Go figure.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - ThinQ Fitness

I had a horrible experience the other day. I was at a mate's house and enough, ahem, "refreshment" had been consumed that we thought it would be good idea to get the Wii Fit out of the cupboard.

On I stepped and it went through the measurement process before I...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Classic Cinema

Free movies? Whole, completely free movies? Movies you've actually heard of, too?

Seems so, and if you like your flicks to be vintage, this is definitely for you. Classic movies streamed for nothing.

They don’t make ‘em like this any more

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Talenthouse

The world is full of talented people and the Internet has made it much easier for you to show the world what you've got. But, these days, that means there's a lot more competition for anything creative that people might want done.

That's what makes Talenthouse...

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – Office Cuppa

Most Monday mornings are a bit tough. You’ve had a couple of days to unwind and let your hair down when all of a sudden, it's over and you’re back to the grindstone.

How on earth are you supposed to be able to remember who has what in their morning...
