Scifi sites--I'm looking for something "new"

I've been ging to the same old scifi websites/webzines (Scifi.com, SFreader, Scifi Dimensions, etc) and I'm looking for something different. New.

Which scifi sites do you guys go to or would suggest? And please leave a link. Thanx.

Well, this has to be my favorite. Natch.

What kind of thing are you looking for? News, chat, information? That will help narrow it down.

Something fun. News, reviews (book, film, tv), maybe something with artwork, or original fiction. Something that isn't strictly this or that. Because some sites seem to want to be the CNN of scifi and they forget that scifi is fun.

Maybe you'll find this one interesting? It's on how people in the past imagined their future. I've spend several hours there, myself.

This one has got pretty much all that you seem to be looking for and then some. Perhaps if you had a bit more of a wander around you might places in which to linger for a while.

And here's another, which features regular book and magazine reviews and also offers a gateway to a bewildering array of SF stories (both new and classic) that are available throughout the internet:

For sf/f-related news, upcoming releases, reviews, etc, you can try SF Weekly. It's updated every Wednesday.

Rather late, but it was pointed out to me that this wasn't mentioned above:

One of the best places to check out what's new in sci-fi are the many self-publishing companies...You will find on one of these (POD) "Print on Demand" publishers over 2000 sci-fi books...I would tell you who this self-publisher is, but I do not want to be accused of trying to promote them.
