Question: What web sites should i link to when i mention media in my blog?

This might require an explanation. Whenever I mention a movie, TV series, or video game in my blog, I like to link to its entry on another web site. For movies, I used IMdB.com. For TV series, I use TV.com. For video games, I use GameSpot.com. This lets the reader click on that entry if he or she wants to learn more about it. However, I don't have a good web site to use for certain other types of media. Here are the ones I need (and feel free to suggest better ones for the three I've already mentioned): * Books - Right now, I use Amazon.com, but I would rather use a non- retail site. * Songs, music, and albums * People - I may be willing to break this down into using different sites for different types of people, such as actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, etc. Here are the rules. 1) It must be a reasonably well- known web site. 2) It must be identified with a specific medium. For example, everyone associates IMdB with movies even though it technically does list TV series and video games as well. I want to avoid using Wikipedia because it's too generic in listing virtually every form of media. 3) It must be exhaustive in its media listing. IMdB lists pretty much every movie ever made, even many lesser- known ones. 4) The information provided must be general information, not solely opinions or critiques. 5) I want to avoid using retail sites, although I'm not completely opposed to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |
