Still ticking...

Here's the latest installment in my series of suggested sites, culled from the URLs nominated for EMMA awards a few years ago (see my entries of January 7th and 9th):

On of my favorites is the CBC site - 120 Seconds
It’s a great example of how the Internet can partner with TV to create community and dialogue. They have a couple of other worthwhile sites at New Music Canada and Just Concerts.

Another interesting and worthwhile take on using internet for community and dialogue was the “Talking To…” project of 2000, which is now archived here.

For a British angle on world news nuggets, check out http://www.ananova.com

The accents are laughable, and the acting is – at best- mediocre – but the concept continues to be compelling at http://www.mvmax.com/

A brilliant use of sound and malleable design in this British firm’s site

GlaxoSmithKilne runs this informative site for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Another interesting site sponsored by a pharmaceutical company (Schering AG) is http://www.femalelife.com/ (if you’re in USA, select international version)

If you want a few more interesting kid-oriented sites, check these out:

I'll post my last list sometime in the next week or so.
