I have been a active participant of the Internet even before the WWW times and have had the pleasure of browsing through the Lynx browser. Much time have passed and given the option, I might be tempted to stay 24 hours online even and yet not be bored. Everyone in his early days, wether they accept it or not, has spent quite some time on the Net .... which would account for N number of hidden directories on their Hard Disk , LOL. However, for the past 3-4 years(specificaly, maybe more) I have been using it for purposes beyond that. The World Wide Web if used properly can be found to be a truly Gold mine of wealth just waiting to be excavated. I doubt I would be able to list only 10 sites as my favourites list is much more, but I will try to make a honest attempt.
1. https://flashkit.com >> If you have ever used or even dream to use Macromedia Flash software then you can blindly visit this site and you won’t b disappointd - to say the least. It has got worlds biggest collection of open source movies, tutorials, sound loops, font’s as well as a 4 Lakh + memberbase always eager to help you out.
2. https://hotscripts.com >> If you are a web developer or a web service provider , this one site will suffice all your needs. For every single requirement , you will find a solution. From a simple Tell-A-Friend Script to a total Yahoo type directory/link engine or maybe even a Credit Card processing software : you name it , they have it.
3. https://vbulletin.com/links.php >> vBulletin is a PHP-MySQL based forum software and undoubtedly this is the best. Commercial and not free , but realy worth every cent. but why mention this URL particularly because all the biggest forums and online communities using this software are listed here . So if you are searching for a Community on the Proffessional Tennis Players(WTA)or a High quality/resolution picture sharing community of Photographers you can find it here ... you don’t have to search in Google even.
4. https://yahoo.com >> I have said this before in my review https://mouthshut.com/readreview/30795-1-id-guest.html that I love the Yahoo portal for the innumerous types of service it provides. If functionability of portal is the measurement of it’s worth, then on a scale of 10, I would probably give it 9 if not more.
5. https://.driverguide.com >> Anyone who own’s a PC at some point of time requires device drivers. Be it for playing a game, running any software , upgrading your hardware , upgrading your OS. This single site lists all the components drivers official and unofficial sites. Not only that it also consists of a file sharing community , whereby just posting a request will enable you to get it fulfilled by some other kind soul on some other corner of the world having the same machine/OS config as yours.
6. https://c2w.com >> I do relax and play games as well , it’s not that I am the all serious business and studious type of guy LOL. And so when I do , I try my luck at Contest2Win site. Moreover I myself am a Flash fanatic , so I love viewing the animation and games these guys come up with.
7. https://google.com >> Without doubt anyone’s favourite search engine. The swiftest and the most methodical search engine. You can read what more I had to say on Google here (https://mouthshut.com/readreview/30682-1-id-guest.html)
8. https://tutorialforums.com and it’s network sites >> My favourite Photoshop hideout. Simply the best tutorials as well real helpful crowd.
9. https://webshots.com >> Even after it’s change of ownership and becoming semi-commercial, it still remains to be my favourite picture haunt on the Web. Simply the best quality pictures for wallpapers, fully categorized and searchable.
10. Oh God, now I have come to the dreaded position, deciding the final URL. ;) I think I will go with :
https://deviantart.com >> What won’t you find there ? Winamp skins , photoshop tutes, flash works, poetry, custom softwares, everything.
