Sunday Morning Link Fest: July 12


We’re starting something new here called the Sunday Morning Link Fest. On Sunday mornings every once and a while a new post will be published of different sites around Yellowknife.

This week:

  1. Yellowknife Ravens is Yellowknife’s official Broom Ball team. Check them out at  http://www.yellowkniferavens.com
  2. NWTers is a neat new site the brings NWT Twitter tweets together on one site. Tags such as #yzf, yellowknife, x1a, inuvik and the GNWT, as well as some of the News accounts from around the north. It definitely deserves a bookmark if you don’t use a twitter desktop client.
  3. Netvibes is an excellent cite for bringing together content from all over the web. In this case we going to look at Liz’s Yellowknife tab. You can find the page here and there you will find loads of Yellowknifey Goodness. Everything from Twitter updates about Yellowknife to Flickr Photos and Youtube videos tagged with Yellowknife. With news from GNWT and the City as well as updates from UpHere Magazine and YkOnline. If you haven’t already checked it out, do so for a nice refreshing ray of Yellowknife.
  4. I thought I would add in the Folk on the Rocks site in light of the fact next weekend is the festival. You can find their site at  http://www.folkontherocks.com

There you have it folks 4 sites from and about Yellowknife. Remember if you know of a good local site you want to plug send it in through the Contact page.

Just Launched: NWTers.com


Hey, Yellowknife #yzf while lying in bed because I’m lazy I was checking Twitter on my ipod and I saw an new and interesting account worth checking out. @NWTers . The account led me back to their site  http://nwters.com which appears to be a feed or aggregator of some NWT Twitter accounts such as @cbcnorth and @upheremag as well as our hashtags #yzf #yellowknife #x1a.

This is something I wanted to do a while ago but was to busy and quite frankly I couldn’t figure out how to make it and look fancy at the same time. I think is a great new site and I will definitely be visiting regularly. As I’m very interested in the site I had to dig a little deep to see if I could find out who created it. Whois check it was. I found out local Yellowknifer @bradpoulter, who I have yet to have the pleasure of meeting created the site. If you want to show your support send a thanks his way via twitter.
