Top 10 Cool Sites To Know - the top 10 sites everybody should/Must know!

de exile
This list consists of 10 websites i think people must know! Some are more or less catered to specific people and most people should already know most of these sites but still... just in case you don't:

Google
Self explanatory

Wikipedia
An amazing free encyclopedia, have more subjects than at least 4 average sets of encyclopedia and 10 times for informations (at least!). It can be editted by anybody and anyone, 90% accurate to say the very least (if it isn't you may change it laugh.gif ) Frequently updated by its vibrent community of dedicated "staff".

google maps
Another service offered by google, this site is basicly an virtual map, it has both a map version and a satellite version as well as a hybrid version. This map features most (if not all the worlds) at a medium zoom level and more populated world at a very high zoom level. I was able to find my house using this service. As well as a very nice tool for your geography homework, it also acts as an wonderful road map. It has an search button that allows google to automaticly search up the routes from one location to another with ease, the search can also works as an normal search and can find a fixed location (not paths between 2 location)

The weather network
A very nice site deicated to weather, although this focuses mainly in the North American regions, it also has the weather of Major cities around the world. This site features shorterm (around 48 hours, differs from cities) and longterm 7 day forecast, also include the: gust, P.O.P, Highs and lows, Dew points, Pressure, visibility, Ceiling, etc. etc.

Neweggs
Amazing computer hardware (and software, mainly hardware though) online store, with extremely helpful community and relatively low prices, you should check them out if you are thinking of buying a new computer.

Note: Neweggs currently only ships in U.S.A, all prices are in USD

NCIX
Another amazing computer hardware (and software) online store, just like Newegg except NCIX is canadian and ships to both Canada and USA

Note: Prices are in Canadian Dollars


Ebay
A online auction site, very popular! This site is very simple to use, go on there website for instruction on getting started. Almost anything can be auctioned off ebay, from old coins to 50 year old G.I. joes in your basement.

Note: Scams and Hoaxes are very common on Ebay, make sure you read the safety regulations posted on various websites before bidding!

Bravenet
A pretty cool website oriented service, although they do offer free web hosting, i do not reccomend it unless you do not mind banners.

However what i do love about bravenet is the tools and other service (counter, traffic count, horoscope, search) they offer (which means they provide codes for you to use on your website). Worth checking out if you are a webmaster but don't have much knowledge on HTML, PHP etc...

Penny-arcade
This is a game based comic strip website. The artwork is amazing and is usually frequently updated (a new strip every 1-3 days) not to mention its harlarious!!! Definatly worth checking out if you are a gamer!

Filefront
Very Very nice game download service, unlike normal game sites (i.e. gamespot and gamespy). Fileplanet's download service for normal (not paid) users are always open (no waits) and you do not even need a account to download from Filefront! You can also host your own files and a lot more on filefront!

Other then the obvious advantages, Filefront is also frequently updated with lastest patches from games and trailers offer for download! Definatly a MUST check out for gamers

I don't think "Google Maps" is a "Must-Know" site. It isn't very good.
Weathernetwork is good, but only for north america...
http://www.newegg.com and http://www.ncix.com/ maybe good sites. But only if you are interested in.
The same thing for the online auction sites: If you like it, they may be good. If you don't like online auctions of corse not!
The most tools of http://www.bravenet.com/ can you have better at msn.com without extreme ads. You may like it, okay but since this is only money making I don't call it "cool".
http://www.penny-arcade.com/ is a freaky site too...

All in all I think EVERYBODY has its OWN Top List. because everybody like (or is interested) in other things.
Greets,

For those interested in tech:
Slashdot - Just general tech stories, updated daily
Digg - If you've ever been on ShoutWire you'll know how the system here works. Users "digg" the stories and the more diggs a story gets the more popular it becomes. Sometimes the most popular Digg stories get a mention on the Diggnation podcast which is also worth viewing

My personal favorites:
DeviantArt - nice wallpapers, art, photography. Very nice

And ofcourse:
Wikipedia
NewEgg
Break.com - if you bored and feel like watching videos
ThatVideoSite.com - same thing as above, if you dont mind the ads lol

Yeah I'd agree with Celt with deviantart. Gotta love it.

I use mySpace a lot so that'd be up there too.

Oh and fat-pie.com - The best flash animations ever.

www.orbitfiles.com

Thanks a lot for the info ! You can upload files, donwload files, share files with friends, it's really great !
If you want to share a whole folder with a friend, you click "share", and the server sends your friend a mail with a link to a dynamically created page from where he can download each file. The server is also able to zip a whole folder.
And, last but not least, unlike astahost, it allows you really big files : 30 megs per file !
Thanks again for that info.
Regards
Yordan

Even though this Top-10 list has some very useful sites, I decided to include my own Top-10 list. Honestly, this is the first time I think about making a list, and it showed me how much I depend on certain sites for managing my online life smile.gif.

So here goes:

1. Download.com
My number One source for new software and updates.


2. Internet Infidels Discussion Board
A very active forum discussing a wide range of subjects about athiesm, generally philosophy, and intellictual matters in general.


3. Alternate Reality Gaming Network
A very interesting genre of games.


4. Amazon.com
DUH!


5. DevianART
An indispensible site for anyone even remotely dealing with graphics.


6. Internet Movie DataBase
A second home for movie buffs.


7. Google.com Search Engine
What I think is the perfect Search Engine.


8. World Wide Web Consortium
Where the Internet is really made.


9. Anne Rice's Official Website
The Queen of Goth and Horror literature.


10. Bored.com
A place to chill out and relax when you have nothing better to do.



But of course, this list is constantly changing. I might refresh it from time to time smile.gif.

I love Wikipedia and Google. They're pretty much the only sites that I need for most research. I'll sometimes use specialized sites - WebMD comes to mind - but only for the minority of the stuff I need to find out more about.

But why didn't you put Astahost on your list? *grins* Maybe because we all obviously already know about it? Hehe.

    address and a little reference of what it is about? I mean, it's quite difficult (as I've
    learned during my short career as a webmaster) to increase the traffic of our websites via search
    engines (those little spiders won't come to them). So why not advertise ourselves? It could
    just be forum or topic pinned on this or any other section of the site, or something like...
