What If Websites Were Rated Like Movies?
What if you went to a website and a rating popped up, telling you it was PG-13? That's the suggestion of British Culture Secretary Andy Burnham, who thinks that "film-style ratings" for websites is a good idea.
Whether it would work or not, I think it's a logical conclusion to come to, since even video games are given ratings these days.

Website of the Day: Gnoosic
I know there're plenty of ways for you to discover new music online — from Pandora to my new fave, CitySounds — but I'm about to add another to your bag of tricks. Called Gnoosic, this website asks you point blank what bands or artists you like, works its analyzing magic, then spits out a list of recommended artists you might fancy.
Sure, it doesn't have a fancy interface like Pandora, but it's smart — it's a self-adapting system that has compiled thousands of band names from users, then learned what people like and don't like based on its rating system.

Would You Use a Website to Track Your Sex Life?
This geek may have known that gadgets in the bedroom might not do a sex life good, but she had no idea that there's a website that allows you to chronicle all of the dirty details of your sex life. I can officially say there's a website for everything, because with Bedpost, you can enter the date you had sex with someone, the time, how long it lasted, who it was with, you can include descriptive tags, and my fave — the star rating scale.
The site creators know that this info is as private as your financial data, so they swear it's kept confidential, secure, and can be deleted at anytime.

Yelp Gets a Rival in the Decider, Courtesy of the Onion
I'm a longtime Yelp user, but lately things are getting a little crowded and messy in there. But it looks like I'll have options pretty soon: The Onion (yes, that Onion) is launching a new website for users to rate businesses, called Decider. It's not satirical, like its founder, but sincere, much like the AV Club.

Forget Your Car - Pimp Your Safari
If you're a Safari user you should check out PimpMySafari.com, a website that catalogs some of the better plugins for the browser. While the idea for the name came from the MTV series on blinging car customization called "Pimp my Ride," PimpMySafari is a bit more practical and useful.
Safari doesn’t have an official ‘extension architecture,' so many users don’t know about the extensions offered on the site.
