Thanks for this list, Terry. Very useful. I was aware of some of these sites but not of others.

I'd like to add another one, though. It is one I have just set up. Lifewithouttv.org is an international social networking and information site that helps non-TV users to link up locally or electronically. It also contains a lot of useful information. I've already added White Dot and other useful sites as links. Hopefully it will help all of us who are against the dominance of television to forge greater links and networks. I would encourage you and others to check it out and let me know what you think.

Regards,

Jim Goddard
