Websites I used to visit regularly though not so much these days. Mainly would only land on them during an Internet search. May still be of interest to others.
- Lobsters – Specialized Computing discussion community.
Originally similar to HackerNews in it’s format, evolved to focus more on quite specific and specialized aspects of computing.

- Reddit – “Front page of the Internet”
General discussion forums and link aggregator. Have deliberately linked to their old (format) site. New site is awful to use.
https://old.reddit.com
- Meet Up – Use the Internet to get off the Internet.
Good if you are wishing to meet people in a new town who share similar topics of interests to you. This is not a dating or otherwise pick up website.
https://meetup.com/
- TradeMe
Dropship Shopping site with some 2nd hand goods on the side for sale. Check prices. Sometimes international sellers are selling things way above NZ RRP.
https://trademe.co.nz
Other links have since been culled (commented out in geek speak) as I no longer believe those websites in question provide much value.
