Time puts up their 50 best websites
Time’s 50 Best Websites 2009 lists their top 50 websites with an overview (here is a list only view).
Most of them we know and use everyday. Here are some that sparked my interest.
#5 Popurls pulls together up-to-the-moment headlines from the biggest and most popular news and opinion sites, blogs and vlogs onto one giant Web page for you to graze through [Time article]
#13 Wolfram|Alpha a search engine that can actually understand your questions and try to figure out answers [Time article]
#17 CraigLook a remix to Craigslist.org [Time article]
#22 Etsy the go-to site for handmade fashion, furniture, toys and housewares [Time article]
#23 PropertyShark a free service that culls an incredible amount of data for houses in the big, coastal population centers, plus Texas [Time article]
#33 Musicovery a music-streaming site with a mood-ring interface that works like a soundboard for adjusting your robot DJ’s musical taste (a bit clunky and blinking ads) [Time article]
#34 Spotify will stream virtually anything you want and pay the royalties for you (doesn’t work in my area) [Time article]
#35 SuperCook type the ingredients you have into the site’s search bar and get tons of recipes [Time article]
#39 NameVoyager uses data from the Social Security Administration to get you the number of people with a name over time (oldie but goodie) [Time article]
#41 TripIt forward your flight, car and restaurant reservations to your phone [Time article]
