Name:	WebDynamite
Language:	English
Description:	WebDynamite's site is a bit 2-piped agenda: it has very nice and tantalising services but on the other hand they require registration which can be quite tedious for some people - like me. But the basic services are as follows: Telnet, Quiz and Venture. Telnet is the best in my opinion, a chance to use...Telnet! Those who usually don't have need for Telnet then the service is useless. Quiz I haven't tried as it wasn't functioning when I visited the site. And Venture is a mystery to me. Go try it out yourself.
