The Sun has launched a search for “the web’s most disturbing websites”. Just send your suggestions to sick.clicks@the-sun.co.uk and “our web team will get on the case” (whatever that means). I don’t know about you, but high on my list of the sickest sites on the web is www.thesun.co.uk. Do you think I should let… Continue reading The Sun Searches for Sick Web Sites

Boo!
It looks like boo.com is being resurrected. I know people who are still emotionally scarred from its first incarnation.
Web Petitions
The new petitions site that MySociety have set up is a really good idea, but I hope that it doesn’t get so overwhelmed with petitions that it’s hard to find what you’re looking for.
