Here
are some links to websites I have found interesting or useful.Maps and journey plannersMultimap - great for UK postcode searchesGoogle Local - for locating businesses Google Earth - wonderful for flying anywhere (needs broadband) Highways Agency traffic maps - these don't show current speeds but do give access to a lot of detail, even the roadside information boards on motorways Mouseprice gives an excellent idea of house prices on a map - including actually realised prices of sold houses Mappy - good European route planning Via Michelin - good European route planning plus lovely maps Transport Direct - multi modal UK journey planner Skyscanner - superb window on European flights, incl. RyanAir & EasyJet Kayak - a great way to search for flights worldwide. Excellent filters, eg max. stopover wait. Register to get date flexibility too. Roomatlas is a fascinating site - you can zoom into a streetmap, eg of central Rome, and it shows where hotels are and what they cost. Click on one and you can see what Tripadvisor reviewers thought. With a right click you can remove hotels from the map and soon be left with a shortlist on a map. Magic! News (incl. technology sources)BBC - the best overall?The Guardian - a superb newspaper Popurls - an aggregation of news, videos etc from lots of sources Reuters UK - they still have correspondants all over the world Wired - an eclectic mix Information Week - a technical news source |
