The definitive 100 BEST WEBSITES
100 Best websites. This list will be updated periodically. Anything in aranteclan.com could be updated at any time so check back often. The first 10 are my personal favorites. I apologize for being biased so go make your own. I emphasize I’m not getting payed by anyone so this is with total integrity. I want to feature the best of the best in the web. You’ll appreciate it. Especially those little known websites that are extremely useful. You’re welcome. I will add or drop websites as I find better of the same type. So this will be dynamic. I got some ideas for some but some of these I self-discovered. Let me know what you think in the comments.
- Google.com. This monster company is the most recession proof company to date. It’s at the top of the list because of it’s overwhelming usefulness. It has it’s lower divisions which are googlemaps, youtube, and many others who have proven to be the best of it’s kind. Google gives the people control, and leaves them alone. And that’s what makes them numero uno. There used to be a saying, all roads leads to Rome, today “All roads leads from Google.” I got this quote from the book “What would google do.” Which looks into how google dominates everybody. “Google it” is now a catch phrase.
- Facebook.com. This social networking site may not have the most people but it’s getting up there. Myspace still dominates everyone so far in this genre, but it’s losing ground on it’s lead. And by another metric, myspace does command people’s time. People spends almost all their time online on myspace. Google it to find out where I got the info. Get it.
- Youtube.com. This is like tv in the internet. And you can control the content.
