The old As Seen On Screen (ASOS) you used to be able to search outfits by choosing the celebrity. I can always remember looking at Sienna Miller

The eastEnders website where you could chose the outfits and dress up the characters

Ask Jeeves! Used to love seeing that chappy,

Are there any websites you browsed years ago that are no longer around but you still wish they were? Here's a thread to get all nostalgic about them.

MySpace! I know it's still there but it's nothing like it used to be. It was Facebook's predecessor. I loved that you could add a song to your profile page, have falling stars coming down the screen and really alllll the nostalgia it brings

Live Journal. It was like an online diary. Used to update mine regularly and read all my friends' updates too. No idea if it's still on the go.

Loved Yahoo groups too and Angel Fire message boards
