Culture Unplugged is a dynamic, not-for-profit organisation with a ‘vision and aspiration to integrate disparate parts of the self and the global human society. It aims to achieve this, primarily by leveraging the power of new media and extending the effort to offline events and actions.' To this end, the website invites filmmakers from around the world to upload films on social or spiritual issues for online viewing and holds regular themed ‘festivals’ following which films are kept in the archive for future viewing. Festival themes so far include Green Unplugged, Humanity Explored, Spirit Enlighened, and We Speak Here. There is a facility for viewers, if they so choose, to submit financial contributions which are passed on to the filmmakers. The website has a very international feel and is somewhat chaotic. However, there are some interesting films that are searchable by festival theme, genre, geographic region, popularity and duration. fillMedia network is a separate section of the site which provides ‘a platform for cross-pollination of ideas, spirit and knowledge among storytellers, content producers, professionals from social/scientific arenas and global audiences.'

To celebrate the range of scientific issues discussed during the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary year the Science Sees Further website has been set up. It offers all those interested in science an opportunity to look at the key scientific issues of today, and those of tomorrow. The site is arranged in 12 chapters based on the subjects of the year’s discussion meetings - the ageing process, biological diversity, cognition and computation, cultural diversity, extra-terrestrial life, geoengineering, global sustainability, greenhouse gases, new vaccines, stem cell biology, uncertainty in science, and web science. Each section comprises an attractive subject summary (authored by the meeting organisers), short historical context using material from the Society’s Centre for History of Science, as well as interactive audio and video material.
