Hypem.com - Best of the Web

Hypem.com - If your always want to be 'that person that tells all their friends about awesome songs before they hear them on radio' this site will blow your mind. 






 The Hype Machine lives up to it's name, bringing you the newest and most popular music tracks on the internet. It is a 'music blog aggregator' which, for all you less web savvy people, means it grabs all the tracks from thousands of blogs around the web and put them in easy to navigate ranks.

The most popular tracks on the net a ranked from 1 to 100, but this doesn't mean that they are the newest tracks out there. If you looking for the newest songs, you may want to head to the twitter charts. Here, anyone can vote for there favourite track by featuring it in a tweet, giving a much more live updated chart and more new and (possibly) music you haven't heard before.

There is a reason that the majority of Music Directors for large radio stations here in Australia use this site to predict the next big tracks, so if you want a sneak peak into what your probably going to here on a radio soon, Hype Machine will give you an interesting insight.

Cracked.com - Best of the Web

Cracked.com - The funniest site in the history of man-kind - according to them.......and me.





For anyone that knows me personally knows that this site is the main thing that got me through doing solo breakfast shows on community radio, so you know it's damn good. Brilliantly presented, it has some of the funniest articles on the web. The pieces are hilariously written by a myriad of writers from across the globe. It's video collection, even though small, features some hilarious short films either shot by Cracked.com or sister sites. 

The site boasts that it has been 'America's only humour and video site since 1958' (1958 being the first publication of it's former self, Cracked magazine), though it seems to have come along in leaps and bounds since it's first appearance on paper as basically a MAD magazine rip off.

A site definitely worth checking out, but I would steer clear if at work as you may find your productivity levels hitting rock bottom.
