Featured Sites (weblog)Nominate sites to be featured HERE. To improve the chances of your site(s) being picked, take a look at our tip guides: "How to improve website pages" and "Adding and working with pictures". You can also sign up for "A little help by phone" and one of our site administrators will give you a ring to help you get started. Television News TV.com is more than a just a place to find out what's showing on your television. The site is a great resource for facts and behind-the-scenes information on the TV industry. TV.com lists ratings and news as well as having downloadable pictures and videos. Part of the Cnet family, users can signup for membership with TV.com, GameSpot or MP3.com and that membership applies for all three websites. Music Blog 4CDMusic.com is a blog supporting new music and artists, primarily on the indie scene. The blog covers new releases as well as being an introduction to artists still working on their first albums. With a focus on lesser-known artists, but ones with talent and potential who are just trying to put it all together, 4CDMusic.com is worth checking out. Digital Photography DPreview.com is the home of The Digital Photography Review, a website of original, unbiased news, reviews and previews of digital photography and digital imaging products. There is also a forum system for visitor to provide their own opinions. Written by their staff, the content provides buying guides, a glossary of terms, and sample photos from cameras they've reviewed. Holiday Rental Property HolidayLettings.co.uk is the place for property owners and prospective holiday renters to meet. This British website is allows users to search and book from over 8,000 holiday rental properties in France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, Florida, Cyprus and 65 other countries. Rental owners have full control over their advertisement, including writing the text and up to 16 photos showing the rental property. Digital Music Providing content on nearly 1 million artists, MP3.com is one of the premier online music services. Browse through artist profiles containing extensive discographies with user reviews, biographical information, and MP3's (hence the name) to preview before you purchase. If you're looking for some direction, MP3.com offers editor's picks (videos and songs alike) and charts based on user downloads to get you started. Business NetworkingFor those of us who are sick and tired of business networking groups, Biznik.com offers an alternative 'that doesn't suck'. The Biznik community operates on the notion that self-promotion and constructive collaboration can be compatible, even in the business world. Biznik's curriculum focuses on event (rather than chapter) based involvement so each member reaps the benefits of the community only through active participation. No matter what your profession, if you are passionate about pursuing constructive and long-term business relationships Biznik is the place for you. Development MySQL.com is the home of MySQL, a robust database management system favored by more than six million developers for websites and in-house projects.

Welcome to the AboutUs Beta!The concept of a fully editable website was invented over a decade ago, and is now popularly referred to as a "Wiki" -- more on that story here. AboutUs.org uses the same technology to provide a collaborative space where people can share their knowledge, add their opinions and traverse the internal links of the site to discover sites related to their personal or professional interests. You can visit a web site from any AboutUs article page simply by clicking on the site thumbnail on the right-hand side of the page. There are many Web sites which are not yet in the system, please add your website in the Search text box to the left, in the format MyWebsite.com - you should be taken to your page with in 1-6 seconds. Please let us know if that doesn't happen. If you know of a site, please feel free to see what information we've already gathered and if you can add something constructive, edit away! You don't need an Account to use and make text changes to this wiki, although to upload pictures, images and other files, you will need one. See Advantages of Logging In for more benefits to having an account. If you'd be interested in developing a topic or helping patrol changes and welcome other people to the project, please contact me and I'll be more than happy to explain how. Badge for your site!If you like your AboutUs article and would like to let your users know about it, you are warmly welcome to put an AboutUs Badge onto your site which will automatically link right to your AboutUs page! It's quick and easy, just follow the instructions here. Suggestion BoxAboutUs.org values your expertise in making our site a true community-authored Wiki. The site is still in Beta, so there's plenty of room for suggestions and improvement. If you have an idea, you are welcome to put it in the Suggestion Box. Volunteer Opportunities
