A few familiar names here, a few maybe some not so much. Everybody has their list, but hey, at least I give some rationale. If you don't agree, please share some!
#5 Blackle
Energy saving black version of Google, thats just a cool idea
Saves energy yeah, but seems how much is a debate
Needs to just be Google search, not sure what “Blackle” vs. “web” means!
Green is mainstreaming, other sites should grab this as a marketing/PR/Environmental play
#4 Woot
If you buy any tech stuff, you will like this site
One product, one day, until its sold out
Simple, compelling, social (yeah, some verbz happening here for sure)
(btw - “woot” is an on-line/IM/gaming term used to express excitement, it means “heck yeah!!”
#3 LinkedIn
This is a great site for professional networking
There seems to be very little if any competition
Nearly everyone I know is on it (not sure if that says more about me or the site?)
Bottom line, much easier than trying to to do this in Outlook or on my Blackberry!!
#2 Google
No I am not talking about the search interface
That's still cool (unless you believe Ask's new ad campaign, then it may suck) but how about all this: Blogger, Calendar, Ad Sense, Mobile, Gmail, Reader etc.
Almost don't need other websites
Powerful, easy to use, free. For me; they are on the top of the pile at the moment.
OK, so this is not really a website, so what, its my blog!
This is just great stuff; these programs use your PC's extra processing bandwidth to work on fighting diseases such as cancer, MD, Parkinson's and more!
As you read this my PC is working on Stanford's Protein Folding project (Protein Folding is a cause of Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.)
Just find one you are moved by and do it, what an easy way to be part of the solution.
