Twisted
The 1st international Collection of Tongue Twisters claims to have assembled the world's largest collection at www.uebersetzung.at/twister . It now has 1,846 entries in 77 languages. As they say in Xhosa: Bu bula booshe bubekxa rubexa roola hoodie hoo (Sometimes when I'm lonely I like talking to feet that smell like horse potatoes). Graham Norton would love it.

Snappy stuff
Young photographers have a new showcase online, thanks to BT, which has just added a photography zone to its website at http://getoutthere.bt.com. Visitors will be able to upload pictures and win monthly prizes. The site already has sections for music, film and writing. Creative types will also enjoy the AccessArt site, which has just "gone national". The site is building a series of online workshops for teachers, students, and "life long learners" with the backing of the Department for Education and Employment.

Carnival time
Perhaps you have already planned your visit to the Venice Carnival this month or www.carnivalofvenice.com or www.venicemasquerade.com, or perhaps not. The people at Cityvox seem to have finished their multilingual guide to Venice in time.

The site was launched last April and the target is to cover 40 cities by the end of this month. However, coverage does not stretch to longhaul alternatives such as Trinidad, Rio or New Orleans.

Covered
You now have a month to vote for your favourite new book in the £45,000 WH Smith Book Awards. Well, the most likely winners are the five volumes the judges have shortlisted in eight categories, from fiction to business, but there are blank slots for those with particular passions. The winners will be announced on April 26.

Love match You may not know it but your ideal date is probably a giant anteater, as taking the quiz at www.londonzoo.co.uk may well reveal. Obviously you can't marry a spider, anteater or pygmy hippo (its parents would not approve), but you can at least adopt one. For more traditional Valentine's Day attractions, try http://valentinenet.com.

Gender
Would you prefer a white bedroom, or a blue one? Would you rather fall to your death or drown? Answer enough silly questions and Gender Test can, with a high degree of probability, tell whether you are a man or a woman. And the more people who take the test, the better it gets.

Finished? Go to the Spark home page to find out whether you are a slut, bitch or bastard, or pregnant. It also offers BurnMaker 2, which turns ordinary texts into "flame mail".

Xrefer
If you want to look something up, it is hard to resist Google, but Xrefer is a good place to get quick definitions. The site, launched last summer, includes 50 reference books, including The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz.

Facemail
The idea behind Facemail is that instead of reading letters you get an animated head to read them for you.In future, it should be possible to have the animated head based on your own photograph: a LifeFX Stand-In. At the moment, the choice is limited to five standard stand-ins. See www.lifefx.com/FaceOfTheInternet/pgInit.html/6nations are also covering the event in depth, while Sky is running a fantasy version at www.sky.com/games/6nations .
