THE BEST MOTU WEBSITES

There are several MOTU websites on the Internet. The list below shows a fairly broad range of sites. Not all these sites are updated frequently; in fact most never get updated. However those I have selected are all worth a visit, even if their content is minimal.

A brief guide to the content may be found alongside the link. You should be able to find out pretty much everything there is to know about the MOTU from these sites. They represent a timeline of MOTU on the Internet. Some of the sites which were online when VOG began are still available, but the majority haven't been tended to in a long time. More recently the trend for blog-style writing added several MOTU sites to cyberspace, but often these fall by the wayside fairly quickly when the webmasters lose interest or realise how much time is needed to keep their online presence up to date.

Even though there are very few sites being maintained and kept current, a lot of the old stuff is useful. It's a shame that more people aren't contributing to the overall effort, but those who are are doing a good job. This page signposts a mix of old and new. Hopefully these sites will stick around - even as archives - and keep the MOTU alive on the Internet for a good while longer.
