British comedian Graham Norton has set up a talent portal to help people get noticed.
I highly recommend the Shows tab, but also take a look at the compilation of the best recent posts.
These will give you a real flavour of the diversity of talent found on this site. There are plenty of truly very good but little-known and unsigned music acts hoping to be discovered.
If you have a skill you want to show off, just register and upload - and pretty soon your peers will be able to vote on you.
The top three performers are awarded prizes each week. But those just browsing can also take part in a separate competition.
If you are worried about malicious code embedded in certain web browser plug-ins, then this nice little Mozilla-based plug-in can help.
Each time you visit a new web page, if it tries to load any scripts the applet will block these and alert you.
It is also useful if you are running on a slow connection, and do not want lots of movies and animations trying to launch into the page you are browsing.
