12 Most Amazing Websites I've Used (in my opinion)

Nebberz here again with my 2nd post! Last time I focused on Ninite which is one of my favorite websites, this time I will take a more general look at some of the best websites I've come across.


Reddit - www.reddit.com

User-submitted news. Users vote for front page stories.


AlternativeTo - www.alternativeto.net

Easily find alternatives to software you use. Users submit and vote on the best alternatives.


File Hippo - www.filehippo.com

Quality freeware/shareware. Very simple interface. They also include older versions of software.


Slickdeals - www.slickdeals.net

Community working together to find deals and bargains.


Ninite - www.ninite.com

One download = Fully automated installation of multiple apps of your choosing. No toolbars allowed! Extremely simple.


Newgrounds - www.newgrounds.com

User-generated flash videos/games. Users vote for the top stuff.


Crucial System Scanner - www.crucial.com/systemscanner

Quickly find out what type of RAM your computer has/needs. Upgrades made easy!


Earth Clinic - www.earthclinic.com

Users vote with "yeas" and "nays" for common remedies. Worked for me a number of times!


Monoprice - www.monoprice.com

Why pay $30-$50 for cables when it could instead be $0.30 - $0.50 for the same quality? No, really. Why would you do that?


Aviary - www.aviary.com

Image editor, music creator, effects editor, vector editor all from within your browser!


Snopes - www.snopes.com

Easily research the latest misinformation, myths and hoaxes making the internet rounds.


Stumbleupon - www.stumbleupon.com

Find websites based on your preferences and interests.



This list ignored the too-obvious or those I felt were not living up to their full potential. For example: Amazon, Google, Ebay, Craigslist, Wikipedia, Youtube, Twitter, Last.fm, Paypal, and the whole blogosphere.



Do you have websites that have transformed your life or how you use the internet?

  2. TED: Ideas worth spreading - www.ted.com

    Massive gathering of videos of great people sharing great ideas. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but there is SO much more than that.

  10. Thanks for the feedback! Tumblr falls under the blogosphere which I noted I was ignoring for this list.
