Not-so-Trivial Pursuit

Recently discovered three websites that have opened up my blindered eyes some more about the wonder that is the Internet - yeah, yeah, it's kinda late in life and I am still at it! Have added all three on my sidebar links.

Site 1:
http://www.yousendit.com

This site is awesome when it comes to transferring or sending big files across the world or hey, to your own self! All you gotta do is upload the file (up to 1 gb) on to the very-user-friendly interface, key in the recipient's email address and voila! The recipient receives an email not more than 2 kb in size (as opposed to days of yore wherein this files wuld either clog up bandwidth or occupy precious storage space) with a link directing you to the download point. The link is available for seven days since the time of upload and the best part is that it doesn't take eons to upload or download - well, at least on a DSL connection.

Site 2:
http://www.songfacts.com

A virtual blessing for all music trivia lovers! It has a comprehensive listing of all sorts/sizes/shapes of songs and a gist of all the trivia there could be. Additionally, it allows for comments on these facts by users which in turn builds on the base trivia...christmas through the year, anyone?

Site 3:
http://greendayauthority.com

One of the best sites about a band/singer I have ever come across - again, comprehensive and lists every possible aspect of information that a genuine follower of the band's music could possibly want to know.

that's all the discoveries for now. gotta go celebrate these before I stumble upon some more and then it will be back to anxiety and breathlessness at the thought of "SO much to know/learn/hear/read/discover and SO little time..."

Oh god, this reminds me of those horrible days spent writing mini-reviews of websites for Britannica. Used to surf so many official/fan sites of actors/directors/bands back then, and was completely fascinated by how much there was out there. Ironically, in the last couple of years, while I’ve been more active on the Net myself (through blogging), my Net-surfing has gone down enormously.
