Welcome To The Links Department
The role of the Links Department is to spend hours sifting through the murky depths of the internet to pick out and select sites that we think you might like, might find useful or might help you to while away the hours.
What this isn't, however, is a complete list of every site you'll ever need. That would be impossible, not to mention pointless since that's what they invented Search Engines for (and we've got a few of them!). What this section will hopefully do is help you to start your research on a particular topic or spark off some inspiration if you can't find any.
So, whether you're looking for information about Homelessness or simply looking for that illusive picture of a Sloth, you should find something useful and something pointless in this department. Just select a category from the list to the right (>>) and get browsing!

Quick Clicks:
Ruckus Magazine
A fantastic (and more importantly, FREE!) downloadable magazine from the NYA (National Youth Agency). Ruckus is packed with interesting features, reports and reviews covering everything from gaming to music and celebrities to issues affecting you. Well worth the download. Did I mention that it's FREE!!! (You will need Adobe Reader installed on your computer to view it)

IWant2Know
A really useful resource designed for young people with the aim of answering many of the important questions you may find yourself asking. Everything from how to buy your first car to where to go for information on eating disorders. It has in depth answers for many as well as well researched links and contact details for other organisations. Well worth a look.
Dreamlines
Simply give this site one or more keywords and it will generate an ever changing illustration based on those words. A truly addictive site!

Japanese Smileys(Emoticons)
We've all used Smilies or Emoticons at some time or other. In fact if you're a regular on the Youthcomm Community you'll be quite familiar with them. Did you know that other countries have a completely different set? This site illustrates the difference between western and Japanese smilies (it's amazing how much better the Japanese ones are! Plus they're the right way round.)

SwarmSketch
'Collective sketching of the collective consciousness'. Each week the site chooses a popular Search Engine keyword and invites all visitors to contribute a line to a collective drawing based on that word.
