Trade Me to Go:

The mobile wave keeps cresting - participate in on-line auctions without logging on at this new-look Wellington-based site. Trade Me To Go operates on Vodafone's wildly-popular text-messaging system, which means you can bid without having to buy a WAP phone. Keep up with the action anytime, anywhere - be notified on your mobile if you're in danger of being outbid. 20 cents per call.

Kerbango for Kids:

From "once upon a time" to "happily ever after", online radio brings you children's classics from the Brothers Grimm, Rudyard Kipling and Hans Christian Andersen. Introduce your kids to Sinbad, Cinderella, Snow White and the rest of them while Kerbango does the reading-aloud for you. Plus kid-safe music-streams ranging from the restful to the raucous - perfect presets for a rainy day.

ScanWave:

Mysterious, exciting and hard-to-categorise - a bit like playing Myst. Wander at will through doors which lead to interactive exhibits and mind-teasing games - ScanWave includes over 4,000. Get all the plug-ins known to God and geek before you visit.

The 50 Worst Movies of All Time:

This unlikely venue has compiled a great list of the 50 movies they judge to be utterly without influence. Connoisseurs of the awful and the obscure will revel in revisiting Dracula: Dead And Loving It, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Masters of the Universe. How long before Travolta's hilariously rotten Battlefield Earth ["Stand by, rat-brain - loading"] joins them?
