Last year Online industry grows so fast. The economic activities through internet rapidly increase. Here I publish top 10 websites in 2007.
YOUTUBE
YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the Web for a good reason: you can find a clip or full video of nearly any media project you can think of - not to mention literally hundreds of thousands of homemade videos.
Find videos, movie clips, music videos, homemade videos, and lots more on YouTube, one of the largest video sites on the Web
TWITTER
Twitter is a mini-blogging application that you can use to send quick messages out to friends and family on the Web. You can also choose to follow other Twitter community members' posts, either by navigating directly to the Twitter site, subscribing to that particular Twitter RSS feed, or getting Twitter posts sent to your mobile device (text messaging fees will apply for this option; check with your provider).
More About Twitter
How to Use Twitter: Twitter is a mini-blogging platform that you can use to send messages of 140 characters or less to family, friends, or just the general Web community at large.
TUMBLR
You just can't go wrong with Tumblr, a platform that provides you with a quickly customized online journal from which you can share your favorite links on the Web with other people.
More about Tumblr
Tumblr: Need a place to share your discoveries on the Web quickly and easily? Try Tumblr, a supremely easy to use blogging platform that gets you up and running with a minimum of fuss.
Blog Search Engines: Blog search engines have become more and more sophisticated, and nowadays you can do a blog search on a variety of topics and hit paydirt. Here is a list of some of the best blog search engines out there - take 'em for a blog search test drive and see what you think.
STUMBLEUPON
The best social bookmarking and general Web exploration tool that I've come across lately is definitely Stumbleupon.Here's how it works: you simply install the Stumbleupon button on your browser toolbar, and then start "stumbling" the Web. I've found some of the most interesting sites this way!
More About Stumbleupon
Explore the Web with Stumbleupon: The reason why I'm so utterly enthusiastic – and more than a little addicted – to StumbleUpon is this: I can wander from site to site within the StumbleUpon gigantic submitted database of Web sites. All I have to do is click the Stumble! Button on my toolbar, and I am able to explore the Web like I've never been able to explore before.
StumbleVideo: StumbleVideo is a new way to watch video on the Web. StumbleVideo is a service of StumbleUpon, a way to find and share new websites with the greater Web community by rating them - and rating sites means that end up seeing things that you will like (and other like-minded folks will too). Just like StumbleUpon, StumbleVideo allows you to find and share good videos; and since all these videos are given quality ratings, you're almost guaranteed to filter out the junk.
MAHALO
Mahalo is a human powered search directory that uses actual human editors to compile results alongside Google-powered results. The reason Mahalo is such a great resource is the way they present their search listings: all the best information on any on topic nicely arranged on just ONE page, instead of many pages. It's an extremely convenient way to gather info on the Web.
More about Mahalo
Mahalo, a Human Powered Search Directory: This gathering of relevant, spam-free, completely on-topic results all in one place is what makes Mahalo such a pleasure to use - not to mention highly efficient.
INTERNET ARCHIVE
The Internet Archive is THE place to go for a variety of information: audio and media archives, cached snapshots of almost every site on the Web, and a huge database of text content.
More About the Internet Archive
The Internet Archive: Feel like a walk down the virtual memory lane? Try the Internet Archive, a great site that has been archiving web pages since 1996 and has over 55 billion pages in its archive at the time of this writing.
Find an Archive on the Web: Are you trying to find information about a historical event? Looking for online archives for news, music, popular culture, or movie information? I've put together a good, basic list of online archives for you, with everything from the National Archives to Papyrus Archives (ancient Egyptian hieroglypics!) to Simpsons Archives.
GOOGLE
Google is the largest and most popular search engine on the Web today. More people use Google in their daily lives than any other search engine, and with good reason: it's easy to use, returns relevant results, and offers a consistently quality experience.
More About Google
Google Search Shortcuts: Here are the top Google Shortcuts that any savvy Googler should have under his or her belt. You'll find that using these Google Search Shortcuts will greatly cut down on your Google search time, as well as make your Google searches more effective and more efficient.
Google Search Engine Basics: In the last few years, Google has attained the ranking of the #1 search engine on the Net, and consistently stayed there. Users are attracted to its mammoth listings and ease of search; and with the launch of Google's PPC program (Pay Per Click) business sites are utilizing it more and more as well to help them in the marketplace.
Google Quiz: Test your Google knowledge with this fun quiz.
FACEBOOK
Facebook is one of the most popular social networking destinations on the Web. It's made up of many networks, each based around a workplace, region, high school or college. You can use Facebook to share information with people you know in real life, see what's going on with your friends and family, or look up people you haven't been in touch with for a while.
More About Facebook
What is Social Networking?: You might have heard the term "social networking" in your travels on the Web. What does this mean? Are there places on the Web where people stand around with cocktails, handing out busines cards, and network? Uh, not exactly. Social networking on the Web is similar to networking in real life, but with some crucial differences.
Top Ten Social Bookmark Sites: What are social bookmarking sites? Basically, these are sites that allow users to post their favorite sites, using tags (or keywords) to categorize and organize them; then other users can take these bookmarks and add them to their own collection or share them with even more users. Here are some of my favorite social bookmarking sites that I use every single day.
ETSY
Etsy is one of my favorite Web sites; you can find lovely handmade crafts there, but one of the biggest perks is how wonderfully designed the site is. It's one of those sites that is a pleasure to browse through: just make sure that you schedule a good block of time out before you visit, because you literally won't be able to tear yourself away.
More About Etsy
More About Etsy: Find out more about how Etsy works.
DIGG
I've been using Digg for a while now, and the more I visit Digg the more I appreciate it. Basically, it's a social bookmarking site with a bit more usability and general mass appeal than other social bookmarking sites out there; you can browse the front page Digg stories, search for stories you'd like to read, or submit a new story.
How Digg Works: The user is in charge of what stories get the most buzz, or most visitors. Instead of an editor being in charge of what goes on the front page, you (and others who Digg the story with you) are in charge. It's a great way to see what is really popular in the worlds of technology and general geekery (along with lots of other topics), rather than having someone else tell you what you should be excited about.
More Digg Information:
Digg: Digg is a user-driven website; all the content on Digg is submitted and moderated by Digg users.Find out how to use it.
Digg Tools: Digg is a great way to find breaking stories or vote on links that you believe should get a wider audience. While Digg does have a couple of fun tools to play with, the best ones exist elsewhere on the Web. Here are a few of my favorite Digg buttons, Digg toolbars, Digg bookmarklets, etc.
