B is for Be the Media - an offshoot of Indymedia, a site that aggregates lots of radical news sources. One of my fav sites.
C is for Charlie Harvey - a good friend of mine who keeps his website interesting and up to date.
D is for The Daily Mash - the best satirical website. Ever.
E is for Ebuyer - a (cheap) computer hardware retailer. I was surprised to see them, but then I looked down and realised I have nine plugs going into one socket - perhaps I do buy a lot of hardware.
F is for Fasthosts - I tend to use them for domain names (I seem to own a lot of these, but use relatively few).
G is for Guardian - the mainstream media outlet I use the most. I even frequently comment. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's because I can use my level of anger and annoyance at the comments as an indicator of how pissed I am.
H is for HacktionLab - an activist tech collective I love being a part of. Or should that be of which I love being a part?
I is for indy.im - a micro-blogging site run in a non-corporate and secure way.
J is for Jedi Kittens - a great YouTube video. But maybe slightly worrying that this appears - do I really watch Jedi Kittens that much? Probably. Is that a bad thing? The jury's out.
K is for Karl - an online collaborative workspace that's used where I work. I probably should leave work in the office.
L is for Indymedia Mailling Lists - I'm part of the Oxford Indymedia collective, and sometimes try and contribute to global Indymedia discussions.
M is for Merlin - my work webmail account. I should definitely leave work in the office.
N is for News - a Drupal site I created that aggregates news from interesting sites in Oxford.
O is for Oxford Indymedia - the best site for radical news in Oxford. Not that I'm involved in the collective or anything ;-)
P is for The Pirate Bay - who index things like films that can be downloaded as torrents. I only download material that is not under copyright.
Q is for UK Feminista - a national feminist organisation. I look at the news section of their site quite often, but I have no idea what it has to do with the letter Q.
R is for Riseup Mail - the people I use for email. They're great.
S is for OARC Screenings - who show films at the local activist resource centre that I'm involved with.
T is for The Register - tech news site, written with loads in tongue in cheek humour.
U is for UK Uncut - cos cutting's bad.
V is for VisionOn TV - grassroots video reporting.
W is for Crabgrass - an online collaborate workspace I use for various projects (URL is we.riseup.net - hence why it appears under W).
X is for xkcd - the best cartoons on the web.
Y is for Cute Kitten Hugs His Teddy Bear EXTENDED VERSION - OK, we got until Y before something a bit embarrassing. I probably would have been able to look you in the eye for the normal version. But extended! I think I must have been feeling insecure of late.
Z is for OpenStreet Map - Like Google Maps, but not evil.
Reflections & conclusions
- I don't know how the auto-compete feature works. I have only occasionally been to some of these sites. I wonder if some get high rankings because I've been there recently, even if not often.
- I was amazed that Google Images wasn't there. I spend a lot of time searching for 'kittens + ...'
- Other that the news sites, none of my sites are here. i should maintain them a bit more.
- I have too much time on my hands.
