Today I will give you two links/websites I recently discovered and which I am currently using.

scroogle.org

Scroogle is a service to enable you to search the web secure and anonymous. It is not really a search engine on its own, it is just a wrapper around google. Whenever you type a phrase into scroogle, it gets the results from google and displays them to you. The advantage of this is, that google no longer sees your IP and can’t connect different phrases to you. Scroogle also offers an SSL service, so that the search request is sent encrypted over the network. This makes it very less likely that somebody can watch what you search on the web. It is also possible to replace your browsers search field with scroogle.

laut.fm

Internet radio exists for a long time now, but it always provides some diversion from your own music collection, which can get a bit boring from time to time. laut.fm is one those radio services, where ‘user generated stations’ exist. That means, that you can listen to stations that other people created, but also that you can easily create your own stations. The stations genres and compilation stretch over a very wide range and so you can listen to any music you want or currently need.
