That Crash? Was My Computer.
And that Pop? Was my brain. I don’t even remember what it was I was reading 10 minutes ago that mentioned Time Magazine’s ‘50 Best Websites 2008‘ was published today, perking my interest just enough that I thought I’d meander on over there long enough to see whether Dooce was listed.
DUDE. I have FIVE browsers open right now. (I need one just to find my way out of the madness long enough to write this post.) The list is amazing. Not only is almost every single site on their list totally interesting/useful/freaking cuh-hoool, each one leads to three to six others.
Like Hulu and ModernFeed. FREE TV AND MOVIES. ALLL OF THEM. WHENEVER. And I don’t have to go to umpteen different sites to find any of it. And look! Burn Notice AND Battlestar, RIGHT THERE ON THE FRONT PAGE!!! I think Trav is going to die. He just got me a Shadow, and baby, it ROCKS the mobile web.
Here are a few other gems:
- GasBuddy – this one is kindof a ‘DUH’. seeing Albuquerque listed as one of today’s 10 lowest price cities, though – I wasn’t expecting that. Also? Historical trends and lotso tools & factoids that may actually come in useful. AND YOU CAN WIN FREE GAS.
- NexTag - totally awesome comparison shopping! I know, it sounds boring. BUT! Look! Real-life example: I can totally research real-time prices on my Nikon 40x fantasy umpteen times a day! Who knows what will happen? Dah da Daaaaahhhhh!
- Nymbler - this one’s for when I feel sick & twisted and really want to torture myself, but hey, that’s just me. For everyone else its a perky and happy baby naming website. It generates interesting alternatives based on your ideas with historical, ethnic and popularity info. huh. looky there. Using my name, a few Adamses and one Maas, I get an entirely white-bread list, except for ‘Percival’ and ‘Guy’, one is my favorite knight, and the other is my Dad. WEIRD.
- Urban Dictionary & Internet Slang Dictionary – Awesome! Just as soon as I qualify for ‘old’, I can APPEAR to keep ahead of the curve using these gems on my blog! a&f abft omg w/eva im l4m3rz.
- Someecards - someofyouwillbegettingthesefromme. soon.
- websoduku - in combination with my top 2 above, nothing at my house will ever get done again.
- Colorlovers & PixelGirlPresents - obligatory design bling!
- WikiSky & WikiTravel - Just click ‘em. Once. I dare you.
- Omiru - style that doesn’t stress you out. it’s for reals. as in Real People, not Vogue.
- searchme - MacGoogle? ooooh! McWebDreamy! yeah. i’m stretching. but the search is cool!
- Aaaand there’s more. But I am out of time. So go here & see the entire Time’s glitterificness yourself!
