List Of Great Websites

Postby pkafka on Thu Apr 23, 2009 9:15 pm

The internet is full of interesting and useful information and services. I, along with most people, enjoy being introduced to new websites. I would like for this thread to become a place where people can discover and share some of their favorite places on the web.

Here are some blogs/websites that I enjoy... I will be adding to this thread as I find more. Please introduce me to a few of yours.

Lets try this, if you liked three of my sites, at least share three new ones. If you like five, share five. Give what you get.

A few to begin:

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Body Weight Culture
Mark's Daily Apple
Wants For Sale
Etsy
Modern Library
Personal MBA
Change This

OkOk... I like where this thread could go.

If you like Etsy... Check out SupermarketHQ
If you like industrial design, check out Design Spotter
If you like finding good deals, check out Woot

That is it for now.

I look forward to being introduced to more sites.

I am a student, so instead of Kayak... I use StudentUniverse - very cheap plane tickets for students and professors.

Also - I came across this somewhat interesting blog - Ryan Holiday - this guy reads a ton, and his posts reflect that.

Everyone knows Seth Godin - His blog always has something interesting.

http://wearehunted.com - Index of the most popular music for that day. Unfortunately, it's kinda buggy right now.

http://howjsay.com - English word pronunciation collection

http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html - Online version of Isaac Asimov's short story "Last Question"

http://www.bartendermagic.com/bartricks ... inrose.asp - Try not to overuse it haha

Oh and now I remembered some more.....

http://www.ironicsans.com/ - Very interesting blog, unfortunately the author is not very active.

http://www.goodexperience.com/tib/ - jdavey, your link to Seth Godin reminded me of this.

And if you don't mind web games, these are two of my favorites:

http://www.sandrific.com/ : This website is about the different types of sand all over the world. It swoops down from a satellite and gives you a great view. Its random and I love it.

http://8tracks.com/ : This is a fantastic music website. Users post playlists of eclectic music. I've found really great music from electro dance to Indian Jazz.

http://failblog.org/ : Bottom line, this website makes me laugh. CHECK IT OUT.

http://1000awesomethings.com/ :This website has been counting down from 1000 Awesome things. Every weekday it posts a new AWESOME thing. They are good reminders of the little things in life that make us happy.

http://www.babelgum.com/ : I fell in love with this website after watching a documentary about graffiti artists in South Africa. The website has introduced me to very innovative art (such as a giant glacier painted on to the middle of a street) but it has a lot of other documentaries.

this one is awesome: http://www.wolframalpha.com/
you just enter equations/questions and the site has algorithms that help it solve your question! I won't lie, may benefit some more than others (i.e. engineers)

WolframAlpha is cool. This article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/05/12/futu ... index.html also introduces some other new search engines that I have found to be interesting...
