When it comes to Taxation.co.uk, I'm bias. There, I said it; I feel better. I am, after all, the website's editor - so why wouldn't I be disposed towards it?
The usefulness of the site was highlighted yesterday, when our offices here in Croydon temporarily and unexpectedly lost power.
For some hours we were without a computer network. (Although the kettle still worked. Weird!)
In most cases, that would be cause for celebration all the way to the nearest pub - but Monday's deadline day for our magazine, and so a lack of linked-up PCs and the electricity by which to run them was potentially very harmful to the print schedule.
As it happens, my colleagues got this week's issue together on time. They're very resourceful - plus, the power returned mid-afternoon.
But imagine for a moment that there had been a disaster (at least, a magazine's idea of a disaster), and the title hadn't been completed on time, meaning we'd lost our slot at the printer. This week's Taxation would be unacceptably late arriving at readers' homes and offices.
However, there would still be the website - which not only can we update from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, it boasts all content from the week's magazine, plus online-only content and an archive of years of past issues.
Okay, so it' s not as easy - or safe - to read on a crowded train or in the bath, but it's always on time.
And that's why it's so darn easy to love.
Yesterday marked a dubious first for Taxation.co.uk: the Discussion offering at the foot of each article, which allows users to post their comments, received its maiden spam.
It was from one Jay Cutler, and it advertised 'hunky' male strip-o-grams.
I've still got the phone number if you'd like it.
