The DVD Ideas site makes purchasing suggestions based on topics of interest. Their focus is independent films and their prices are reasonable. They also have great lists, such as Best of 2005, Extremely Relevant, and Budget Films. Heading the list for last year is Turtles Can Fly, which Terry Gilliam raved about in an online interview. It was one of my favorites, but did not show up at the theater here.
Another new site, Squidoo, is not functioning at full capacity yet; it promises to pay its 'lensmasters' for click-through advertising based on Google-type rankings in the near future. It also gives 5% of each payment to charity. According to the description on the site, "A lens is one person's (lensmaster's) view on a topic he cares about. More specifically, a lens is a single web page filled with information and links that point to other web pages, to continually updated RSS feeds, or to relevant advertising." It's a good place to go for information, such as how to upload a podcast, or how to find software to enhance iTunes.
If you are incensed about the news that Netflix pushes its customers to the back of the line if they are frequent renters, this is your site: HackingNetflix.com. The site provides information on Netflix services and gives customers a chance to vent, as well as praise the premier DVD-rental company.
Let me know if you come across any good sites.
