Time Magazine has put together a list of what they think are the coolest websites.
NEWS AND INFORMATION
We'll stay away from the major news organizations; you probably already have those Websites bookmarked. Instead, here are some less obvious links, including an encyclopedia of how-to advice and a Hollywood hot sheet, a lie detector and a blog-sifter, all guaranteed to keep you in the know.
- Bloglines.com
- BBC.co.uk
- Ehow.com
- ET.tv.yahoo.com/newslink
- Factcheck.org
- Fedstats.gov
- Nationalgeographic.com/education
- News.google.com
- PBS.org/pov/borders/index_flash.html
- SEC.govSSA.gov/OACT/babynames
Each site listed here pertains to a particular area of interest — politics, science, health, music — but they all have two things in common: great content and great presentation.
- Apple.com/itunes/store/
- Cancerfacts.com
- Engadget.com Gizmodo.com
- FFFBI.com
- Freshdirect.com
- Kidshealth.org
- Metacritic.com
- Mojam.com
- Noggin.com
- Talkingpointsmemo.com
- Wordswithoutborders.org
- Yoox.com
It's a small world, after all, and the Internet can make it seem even smaller. Each of these sites, in one way or another, and for one reason or another — practical, political, personal or professional — does a good job of connecting people.
- Craigslist.org
- Friendster.com
- Freecycle.org
- iPodlounge.com
- Meetup.com
- Sittercity.com
- Tolerance.org
- Triggerstreet.com
Here are some new, exciting and maybe better ways to do a lot of things you probably already do — search the Web, share digital photos, consult a thesaurus, find something on a map and decide what to cook for dinner.
- A9.com
- Freetranslation.com
- Froogle.com
- JiWire.com
- Local.google.com
- Maps.yahoo.com
- Mobissimo.com
- Photos.yahoo.com
- Refdesk.com
- ResearchBuzz.org/archives/001404.shtml
- Testmyspeed.com
If you're in the market for new ways to waste time, you're in luck: we found some marvelous examples of flash animation, a rather odd public art installation and one bad-ass movie site, among other worthwhile distractions.
