100 Blogs We Love

PC World – 100 Blogs We Love

The Linkjockey updates have been spotty over the past few days, but this should keep you busy in the mean time.

After some initial troubles with their post, PC World published a list of 100 Blogs We Love. Yes, there are some of the usual suspects, such as: Boing Boing , Lifehacker and 43 Folders. However, there's also the hidden gems, such as: the hilarious I Can Has Cheezburger, the culinary Slashfood, and for cool parents Daddytypes. It seems like they missed one great blog, the Linkjockey. ;)

Web's Top 25 Pranks and Hoaxes

Top 25 Web Hoaxes and Pranks - PC World

Yep, the classics are all here, including:
- the guy on the World Trade Centre with the jet approaching,
- Bill Gates will send you a check when you forward the email,
- the sick kid that wants to set a world record for greeting cards,
- Microsoft buys the Catholic church (and Firefox),
- Bert (from Sesame Street) hanging out with Osama bin Laden, and of course
- the Nigerian gentleman that needs your help with a wire transfer.

There are also lots of hoaxes that I hadn't heard before.
I think it's interesting that people are starting to write lists and histories of the culture and social events on the internet, rather than the history of technology and products.

Chuckles abound.

Online Oscars for Best of the Web 2007

The 2007 Webby Awards
Yesterday, the Eleventh Annual Webby Awards were announced. This year the "Online Oscars" has winners in nearly 100 categories, divided amongst Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video and Mobile classificiations.

There lots of great examples of brilliant web design, interactivity, functionality and the coolest sites on the net. These are the giants of the web, as well as its cutting edge. As the web grows, the Webby winners represent the inspiration and the benchmarks of the future.

Webby Awards were selected by both critics and the people, and the nominees for each category are also listed.


Note: I'm often asked "Where do you find these random websites?" Starting today, I will list the cookie crumb that led me to the day's site. If you email me a link that is used, I will give you credit here.

Personally recommended links

Linkjockey

There is SO MUCH out there on the web. After the initial novelty of surfing the web to wherever the links will take us, we tend to settle into the same routine web commute everytime we load up our internet browsers.

This daily blog aims to point you to something new and exciting on the web each and every day, that was personally recommended to you by the Canadian blogger, Christopher Walks.
It's a new discovery; a new adventure for you on the internet everyday.

Okay, so maybe it's a bit tacky to recommend my own blog as the link of the day. This is the identity statement for this blog. On the last day of 2006, it's also the "trial opening" of a new web destination that I hope you'll enjoy coming back to everyday to find the newest and most interesting sites on the internet.
