Title: Cool websites
Post by: Tony on 2007-12-01T22:42:28-06:00 (Saturday)
I realized the other day, that there are a ton of websites out there that everyone seems to know about, but I do not.  So, I thought it would be a good idea if everyone posted a few links on here to their favorite sites.  Here are just a few of mine that are just some sites that play crazy videos.

http://www.reddit.com (http://www.reddit.com) - Better version of digg, but, seems to be more digg-like all the time, I may have to switch soon.

http://www.technorati.com (http://www.technorati.com) - (from wikipedia) - Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs, competing with Google and Yahoo. As of June 2008, Technorati indexes 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.[1] The name Technorati is a blend, pointing to the technological version of literati or intellectuals.
