It took some time but now I have visited Times 50 Coolest Websites 2005. My favourite section is the blogs (duh). Many of the Times choices were familiar but some were not. They include the amazing to the mundane.
One blog site on the list is PostSecret where people send their secrets on postcards to the blogger who scans them and posts them online. Some are secrets are trivial while others are dark most are disturbing in one form or another. A recent, simple yet disturbing example included the text: I lie to make my life seem normal.
Two sites on the list that are made for procrastination are Overheardinnewyork and Overheardintheoffice. Both sites are reports of snippets of overheard conversations.
The list also includes the design site MoCo Loco and the food fetish site Chocolate and Zucchini just to mention a few favourites.
The list of blogs also include gossip sites and more – but they were not those I would have added to my list…
