h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Came across one of the best web sites I've seen in a while (especially if you've got a work internet connection or spend a lot of time on the Net.) Can't really remember how I found it, but I'm glad I did.

Anyway - enough bull... the address is http://www.launch.com and it's a personalised radio/video web site. They've got 3900 videos and god knows how many albums online - you rate the songs as you listen to them (good quality too) and they tailor the stuff you hear. It's like listening to the radio with the ability to skip to the next song and listen to the type of music you like. It's bloody brilliant if you ask me. This is one of the best websites I've come across - unfortunately it seems to be a PC only affair (dammit!) but that's sure to change in the future.

I'm raving a little - but this is the way I see the Internet going... give it time and it'll be TV programs and movies being piped into your home on demand and tailored to your personal preferences.

All in all, a great site and one that's sure to annoy network admins everywhere (go on guys - eat that bandwidth up!!)
