My Website Picks!


I've been searching and surfing the web for years, and there has been a recent increase of famous sites. Some of these sites you probably already know from social networking sites, video sharing sites, famous search sites, helpful research sites, and some are my personal picks from free download sites, like free programs for your pc, ipod, psp, and mobile phones to free games, free movies, and everything that is free!

Like they say "The best things in life are free". And all of these you can access on the web for free. Feel free to comment about my picks and some of your own picks.


Social Networking Sites:

Friendster
MySpace
MyYearbook
Facebook
Multiply
Hi5
Tagged
Blogger

even blogsites like Blogger is a social networking site. You can communicate via comments and search for other blogs.

These sites have revolutionized the way people use the web, and the world wide web has never been more popular especially in these technology based era. I just have something to say about having an account for these sites, i mean dont get me wrong, these are great and popular sites, but shouldn't you just choose one? or make an account on other sites too? You have to make new friends and old friends again on other accounts right, and probably not all of your friends have another account online, probably just one.

Well personally i have a Friendster account, I guess most of my friends and people i know have one on friendster. I also read that Friendster is the biggest social networking site for Asia. And thats probably true especially in the Philippines, as far I as I know. And the biggest competitors are MySpace and Facebook, mainly more popular in the US. But I have friends who also have accounts on MySpace and other sites. I tried making some accounts on these other sites, but I think i wont be able to keep managing my account if i keep signing up if another new site comes along. I guess in my opinion its better to stick to one social networking site than create a new one again and again when another new social networking site opens up. But then again, it entirely up to you, right?

And I would like to say one thing about MyYearbook, what is this? Is this a Hybrid of MySpace and Facebook?? Probably is.


Online Video Sites:

YouTube
Google Video
Yahoo Video
Imeem
Metacafe
Gmanews.tv
Justin.tv
Hulu
Watch-Movies.net
Tailedfox
and a lot more..

These sites has also revolutionized people see information and share their videos. The most popular one is of'course YouTube. YouTube has even been featured most of the time on the news from their online videos and viral videos. And of'course everyone probably uses YouTube.

Some video online sites i've posted is where you can watch not only online video but also free channels, tv series, sitcoms, even free full-length movies like in Hulu and Watch-Movies.net. And Gmanews.tv is where i watch news on whats happening in the Philippines. And Tailedfox is where you can watch the Anime Hit Naruto Episodes. All of these for free!


Helpful Tool Sites:

Wikipedia
Knol.google.com
Justasknielsen
Yahoo Answers
About
Dictionary

These sites are web-based search on everything that you need and want to know. The most popular one is of'course Wikipedia, i do most of my research on this site. And Yahoo Answers and About.com is where i go when i need to know almost about anything, even just simple to serious questions.


Download Site:

Cnet and/or Download.com

There are a lot of sites you can download free programs, but this is where i get most of my programs and helpful tools for pc and the web. This sites offers most stuff from electronics, laptops, pc's, mobile phone, cameras, camcorders, mp3/mp4 players, and of'course free programs.

Programs that i've used and tested are the following:

AVG antivirus
YouTube to iPod converter
Cleanup - Protect your Internet privacy, clean up garbage data, and improve PC performance
Startup Inspector for Windows - Manage start-up applications and improve your system performance
DTMC2 Screensaver - Means "Dont Touch My Computer". Set an amusing trap for people who try to use your PC. Which is great when you leave your pc for awhile and you dont want anybody using it, because it is guarded by a dog

Cursor/Desktop of the Future - Make your desktop look futuristic and interactive. http://dissoluteproductions.com/downloads.htm

I also liked the google photo collage screensaver, but you usually get it on their google pack where you choose to download programs like google earth (which is a pretty awesome program of a satelite map anywhere on the world for free), Norton Security Scan, Firefox, Skype, Spyware Doctor, RealPlayer, and Google Photos Screensaver on http://pack.google.com/pack_installer.html

But if you want just the Google Photos Screensaver you can get it on this link http://pack.google.com/pack_installer.html


PSP (Playstation Portable) Sites:

Psp-hacks
Pspiso


Online Game sites:

Gametap
AdultSwim
Miniclip
Armorgames
Newgrounds

These are great game sites online. On Gametap you have to download their program to play their games, but its worth it, because they feature premium and popular games like some games you can play on a console.


Flash Sites:

Newgrounds
Liquidgeneration
BrokenSaints

These are awesome flash sites ill tell you. You can watch tons of flash or animation videos, and there are also flash games on Newgrounds. Liquidgeneration feautures some flash for pranks you can show and send your friends. And BrokenSaints is an award winning flash site that shows their episodes of BrokenSaints Series.

Well these are most of the sites i've visited and tried so far, if not all of it. Hope this post helps you when browsing the web. And you can comment, post and let me know sites you recommend worth seeing!

And I will continue browsing and searching the web for more!
