Kate Russell with the best of the Web

EMOZE (www.emoze.com)

Emoze website

Emoze.com is an amazingly easy to use mobile application which allows you to receive and send e-mails and other communication tools on your mobile phone.

Lots of popular email clients are supported, including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and Hotmail - but you will have to pay a small premium subscription fee if you want it to work across multiple accounts.

You can add Facebook messages, calendars, tasks and contacts. Once you have all your options set up it is incredibly fast and easy to use. This is the kind of application that once you start using it, you will wonder how you ever managed without it.

SIMON'S CAT (www.simonscat.com)

Simon's Cat website

The cutest cartoon on the Internet. You might have seen one or two of these films doing the viral rounds, but there is plenty more to look at if you head to simonscat.com.

As well as the films you can link to Simon's Cat on Facebook and Twitter, and view a gallery of pictures submitted by visitors to the site.

The website design is in perfect harmony with the content. Not only is this a cat lovers' heaven but even those who do not like cats will get a kick out of it.

The author of these cartoons has managed to capture the idiosyncrasies of our feline companions so brilliantly it will not fail to melt your heart.

KIDS CLICK (www.kidsclick.org)

KidsClick website

The web is a wonderful place for children to explore and learn - but as any net-savvy parent will tell you, there is plenty to be worried about out there as well.

Kidsclick.org is a site created by librarians that aims to allay our concerns by providing a search engine of content that is suitable for younger surfers.

The site covers more than 600 subjects, from health to sports & the arts.

Instead of using spiders and search bots to sniff out the content like regular search engines, this content is all human-filtered - so you can be sure that the results you get back will be age-appropriate.

OMGPOP (www.omgpop.com)

OMGPOP logo

OMGPOP.com is flash game site where you can play on your own, wait for other users of the site to join in, or you can click the "invite a friend" link to copy a URL which you can then paste into a forum, twitter, or blog where your friends can jump directly into the game you are hosting.

If you prefer you can join a game in progress rather than hosting one yourself. Registering with the site will give you a little more functionality.
