*Well different people find different sources to amuse their idle hours away. Not every source can get so enthralling that not just the idle hours but the ones after the idle hours which should have been spent working also get dragged into the amusement time.
Well for a computer nerd like me, internet provides that option other than my other favourites TV and movies. The percentage of my free time gets divided between the three as Internet(95%), TV(4%) and movies(1%).
The best 5 websites which I found most intriging are as follows however may not be in order of preference:
1. Orkut.com: Its right there, staring at you on your face. The sooner you fall into the temptations, the better for
you. This vastly popular website is even better than its contemporaries like Hi5 etc due to its ease of use, a very soothing colour and the ease with which you can get in touch with old lost friends.
Well you love it . you hate it . but you can most definitely not ignore it! Orkut is here to stay.
2. Peekvid.com:< One of the most awesome websites, my personal favourite . make way for the ultimate in entertainment. Peekvid.com. You can watch videos online. Its a bit similar to youtube but then in Peekvid you cannot upload you own videos. But the advantage is the videos present there are much more vast and organised to help you find just what you need in a very short span of time.
3. Mouthshut.com : One of its kind website where you get a voice and people rate your voice according to the content of your writings. You can become a critic and all you have to do is register for free. From movies to books, from hotels to banks . just name the thing you want to write on and you will find it there.
Just in case you do not find your product, you can always suggest it.
4. Google.com( includes the search engines, mail and others) : For all the popularity of different websites, only google is one which can give all the other websites popularity graph a run for their money.
Their mail is fast, spam free and extremely user friendly.
Their messenger is very light( although it misses the yahoo creativity in the messenger part) .
Even the google maps, videos, language tools etc have taken the internet world by storm. Being new to the US, I never leave home without taking a print out of the exact way to the destination I want to go to.
Youtube needs a speacial mention, since google bought it due to its immense growing popularity.
You can watch, upoload and search for videos, trailors etc on this website. Although not as organised as peekvid this definitely needed a mention.
5. Yahoo.com: Here is a biggie. a giant who cannot be shaken by come what may. Here is to yahoo . although there has been some problems recently with the new versions of its messengers but on still cannot write down this website. Maps, search engines, weather, stocks, blogs, build your own websites etc etc .
Yahoo needs to concentrate a little less on expanding its horizons and a little more on how to stabilise their current products.
Now that its out . my personal favourite 5 . I would think it would still make google a winner as Orkut, Youtube and Google are all owned by Google.com .
I would like to pat the backs of their creators who actually got to their imaginative best to actually succeed in coming onto my personal favourite 5s.
6. https://healthcaremagic.com, which is a complete ONLINE Hospital. there u can interact with ONLINE group od doctor yeah u can Live chat with Doctors, as we talks with our friends through G-talk or Messenger and we can discuss all our problem in internet itself from office/home
