50 Coolest Websites by Time – they missed some!
Time Magazine has listed the "50 Coolest Websites" for 2006. I find it interesting that with all of the "cool" sites, they had to list their own TMZ site as a coolest Time Waster. Here are some that I think were left out:
Time Wasters:
The biggest omission I see is StumbleUpon. This is clearly the best/coolest Time Waster around because not only is the tool cool, but the sites you learn about are cool.
Travel & Real Estate:
Where is TravelZoo? The absolute coolest site as it saves you money. And that's cool.
News & Information:
Digg? C'mon people. Digg does not have content. Would have been nice to see some good blogs here.
Staying Connected:
Where is Zoho? If you are going to put Google Spreadsheets down (even though now its Docs & Spreadsheets), Zoho should be there too.
Oh well, they did a pretty good job overall, I give them a B-, and as they say, there is always next year.
they should call it the “50 coolest websites we just found out about after everyone else .” Then again, I guess the list makes sense for TIME- staying safe and far from edgy. I wish I could get paid to write those articles. What an easy gig!
Argali?! That has been around for centuries in Internet time. Granted it is useful and I used to use it, but it does require a download. The website itself is not “cool”, but rather the software is, thus it should be on a “coolest freeware list”.
Travelzoo? that old dinosaur? how is it cool? plenty of new and MUCH cooler travel sites help save $$: kayak.com, mobissimo.com, farecast.com etc. Travelzoo is outdated and out of touch and is only alive because of its ads all over yahoo
