Great Opera fan sites

Sometimes in the late evening, when I'm just not tired enough for sleep or awake enough to code or write, I'll browser around for news about Opera from fan sites. That may sound a bit silly, as surely an employee would know what's going on with Opera. Yes, I know what's going on internally, but I can't always keep track of what's going on externally. Sometimes it nice to know that some news is finally public or which rumors are spreading now. Reading rumors is probably one of my favorite pastimes. I thank y'all rumor spreaders for the entertainment.

My Opera news search usually takes me to three sites:

  • Avencius, an Opera news and commentary site (with occasional relevant posts about competitors) running Drupal(!).
  • Planet Opera, an aggregator feeding off 50+ newsfeeds from Opera fan sites. If there's Opera news, you'll read it there.
  • Opera Watch, the one-stop shop for Opera rumors.

Where do you get your Opera news?

And since we're on the topic of Opera, Avencius highlighted the Why Opera blog, a great blog overflowing with Opera graphical goodness from suggestions for a new Opera icon to great wallpapers to graphics to stick on your site or in your forum signature. Get into the graphical goodness!

And let us not forget literarymoose.info (RIP), the CSS experiment and Opera customization site. If you haven't heard, Moose has moved his site to lofotenmoose.info and has started posting again. Don't walk, run there and get Moosified!
