How Many Sites Are There?

I was browsing on the Internet the other day looking for Odyssey news, and I was shocked at how many Odyssey fan sites there were. So this topic is to try and collect all the names, not necessarily the links,(because I don't know how to do those), of all the Odyssey fan sites.
Here are the ones I know:
Whit's End (Official Website)
The Odyssey Scoop
AIOWiki
The Changing Times
At Whit's End (Blog)
The Unofficial AIO Blog
The Boredom Buster Podcast's Website
The Unofficial Odyssey Podcast's Website

Dude, that's a massive list Wooton. I had no idea there were that many AIO sites... Then again, just about every fan wants to start a site about Odyssey now a'days.

It seems to me that the info is harder to come by these days though.

What do you mean, that the websites struggle with clarity, or that it is harder to find information just from listening to episodes?

I think one of my recent blog posts says it well.
From about the year 2000 or so, fan sites have been a big part of the AIO community. Names such as AIO HQ, The Odyssey Scoop, and The Soda Fountian come to mind. Close behind that was The Unofficial Podcast, which sparked a wave of podcasts. It can be tough but also a great feeling to know you are providing something for the fans.
With the last hiatus over, AIO has turned to social sites such as Twitter and Facebook. However, it also seems that the fan sites don't have that edge anymore. Now I am not saying it's bad for them to push their product but it is harder for sites like TWEP to provide that inside scoop for you. Which makes you wonder if the era of providing fans with new info has come to an end.

Actually, AIO Insanity! has been deleted, and I never got to see it, but I've heard it was great during it's relatively short run.

Could you give me the link for the Odyssey Squirrel. I tried googling it but nothing came up.

Sure! There's a link to it on The Odyssey Way, which does come up on google. Here it is: (It's not one of my personal favorites, but it's um, interesting. It doesn't provide news or reviews. It's one of those strange little AIO blogs that does something really different for a little while, and then is never heard from again.)

Faio is ethically questionable.

Aren't they the ones who distributed AIO for illegal download?

They don't host the illegal stuff, so it's not illegal for them. But it's still ethically...questionable. If you're just making a database of officially released episodes, knock yourself out, but you're encouraging piracy if you're linking to these illegal sites and files.

They try to release only stuff that is free...
