Next best thing(s) next to Google

19 08 2007

If you’d ask any geeks out there as far as Internet technology/site goes, they’ll probably say that Google is the greatest thing that came to the Internet…and I highly agree. Not only does it rule the search engine industry but they also offer plenty of products that are essential in the web. Next to Google, another thing that I can’t live without nowadays is Youtube–and it’s not great just for music videos anymore but also for informational purposes. Being on the Internet a lot, there are just so much things that you can do but after a while, it becomes dull and boring if you know what I mean. I remember one time saying to my friend how boring the Internet was and how I’ve reached the end of it (meaning, having browsed all the sites available)…which isn’t true by the way. I quickly discovered sooner than later that I was missing out on a lot of sites and there are infinite amount of them.

The great thing about Youtube is it bridges the missing link between users and media. Sure it bridges users since everybody is now interconnected one way or another with each other, which is the main foundation of the Internet to begin with. I don’t know about other people but I’d rather watch than read millions of text on the screen. With people uploading their own video clips to Youtube, it makes the Internet much more alive than they were. I just can’t wait for the day when television channels can be streamed through the Internet live and I’m talking about the channels they have on cable, not some crappy sh*t streamed from somewhere else. And yes I’ve gone to those sites that does stream tv media…and yes, they’re pieces of sh*t LOL.

So moving along, I would like to share some sites that I found to be an asset when it comes to Internet surfing. I first would like to say however that I’ve been to a lot of sites but I only bookmark those that are “book-markable” in a sense since I don’t like to clutter my Firefox bookmarks. Aside from Myspace, Google and Youtube…also check out the sites that I go to when I’m bored such as Digg, Delicious and Mashable and I’m pretty sure one of those will have you preoccupied for a while. ;)   Another worthy site is Lifehacker, which is pretty good and interesting. If I would bookmark only 7 sites, it would be those.
