My Favourite Tipples in Free Pint #252

I'm in this week's Free Pint Newsletter writing about my five favourite tipples. No, despite the 'pint' in the name, I don't mean mojito, rum'n'coke, frappé with Baileys, tequila or 'any fizzy lager will do', but my five favourite websites.

Frankly, upon realising that I wasn't going to be able to list any websites for downloading music, video, pr0n or cracked software, I was slightly stuck as to remember what else the interweb was for ;-)

In the end I opted to list sites that had been useful for me in the last couple of months, which meant the list centred a little bit around getting my MacBook set up and running with gorgeous free goodies. You can read why in the newsletter itself, but the five sites I nominated were:

• Open Source Mac
• Eeeuser
• Google Webmaster Tools
• Sphinn
• Graffletopia (illustrated below)

That also meant that I didn't list loads of great and useful websites that I use all of the time, but that are like the 'background radiation' of my interwebs. So hat-tips are due to Google (and Gmail, Analytics, AdSense), Bloglines, the BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, Times Online, Chipwrapper, Fancy A Pint, Wikipedia, IMDB, UK Nova, Mininova, The Pirate Bay, Amazon, LinkedIn, Expedia, Last Minute, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Outpost Gallifrey, Bytemark, Mycroft Project, Feedburner, Typepad, StumbleUpon etc etc etc...
