Starring Lionel Barrymore, Lloyd Hughes, Montagu Love, Jacqueline Gadsden.Though I'm no connoisseur of classic sci-fi (heck, the only futuristic monster movies I've been able to sit through from start to finish were on Mystery Science Theater 3000), the half-silent, half-talking MGM release The |

| If you're looking for a few sites worth checking out (and you've already finished PCMag's Top 100 Websites, Top 100 Classic sites, and Top 100 Undiscovered sites, naturally) you have a couple of choices. You could head over to a social bookmarking site like Digg or Del.icio.us and see what everyone else is reading, or you can look for |

| A new study comparing the news coverage of major media outlets with that of citizen journalism sites like Digg found that there is a pretty wide gap between what the people find interesting and what newspeople think the public will find interesting.

| When you're looking for an app that will make your life easier, you probably either hunt on your favorite application blogs (like AppScout!) or go on the recommendation of friends. But sometimes all you can come up with is a program that only sort of does what you need. Instead, why not go straight to the source and get in touch with developers |

| When AOL chose Netscape.com as the URL for its new social news site, the masses who fondly remembered the Netscape browser cried foul. When the site was finally unveiled by Jason Calacanis, not only did it look like Digg, he had also actually attempted to pilfer some of Digg's top posters, making people all the more upset.

| There are probably hundreds of Digg clones out there, and even more sites that use the Digg social-voting model to rank everything from software ideas to desktop backgrounds. Mixx is the newest site that claims to bring you all the latest technology, business, sports, and entertainment news, but it has a couple of useful twists. It won't draw the |

| Programming our own news is nothing terribly new in the Web world; the Diggs, Reddits, and Del.icio.uses of the world (er, Net) allow us to aggregate the stories we like in one place and share them with other readers. But, unlike those social-bookmarkers, Current.com's homepage is vetted by its producers, who take into account what's popular on |

| I'm a huge fan of social news. Whether content is user-generated or not matters less than the intelligence of a news network, in my opinion.
