We love that you’re reading Electricpig, and that you come back day after day for the latest tech news and reviews. But as the adage goes, “man (or woman) cannot survive on tech alone.” Or words to that effect. That’s why, each week on a Friday we’ll be highlighting an eye-popping new site that’s crossed our radar, and they won’t always be about tech.
To kick things off we’ve rounded up five unsung favourites from the Electricpig team’s bookmarks. They’re handy, inspiring or just plain funny. No dumb flash game websites here… at least, not yet. Have a click, let us know what you think, and suggest sites to the usual address: editor@electricpig.co.uk

It’s Friday! The weekend is very nearly upon us once more, but the gadget news is still rolling on in thick and fast. See what we mean with our roundup of all the latest right here in techie breakie.
There’s been a lot of hoo-ha over rumours that Facebook is building a smartphone, as outed by TechCrunch earlier in the week. TechCrunch outed the rumour, which Facebook then vigorously denied. TechCrunch then tore apart the response from Facebook to the rumours that the social networking giant was building a phone, and then Zuckerberg came out and talked about it.
The new Sony Reader Touch is now on sale, and we’ve got one of our own to find out whether it’s got the goods to take on the ultra slim new Amazon Kindle. We’ll have a full review of the Sony Reader Touch for you shortly, but in the meantime, check it out coming out of its box right here. Even in direct sunlight, there’s no glint off that touchscreen overlay, the real problem with last year’s version. Anything else you’d like to know? Drop it in the comments and we’ll cover it in the review next week!
