Thanks to all my lovely friends across the country who have emailed with their thoughts and suggestions on accessing information online – and for the freelance writing tips.

Here are a few sites I like to visit:

Activate – a weekly compendium of international news, put together by the people behind Flavorpill in NYC.

Bookninja – a fabulous blog out of St. John’s NL that covers all things literary and bookish. One of the most-read literary blogs in North America – proof that some great things are percolating on the fringe.

Everywhere – an online travel magazine with great user-generated content.

Unlimited – an Alberta-based magazine that is a mash-up of business and lifestyle. I picked it up at Indigo a couple of months ago and liked it. Hope it survives.

For those who are torn between online news and the look of a newspaper, with its column inches neatly defined, check out PressDisplay. It gives you access to just about every major and regional paper in the world, allowing you to read stories as they appear in the paper. I can almost smell the ink.
