Recently, I came across the Time.com’s list of 25 sites, We Can’t Live Without.
I read it till the end to discover the new websites, I might be unaware of. I thought so because being a software professional, I spend much of my time daily browsing Internet. Not to my surprise, I came across quite a few websites, I had not heard of. More so, may be because I don’t need the services offered by them like one that’s selling shoes and accessories. But there were some websites, I was happy to browse.
One of them is Craiglist, it’s more like Yellow Pages cum Free Advertisements that are bundled for free alongwith the Newspapers. I was surprised to see a separate section for Bangalore and that too quite an active one.
Others in the list were mainly News-Related Websites or portals like Yahoo, MSN & AOL. Though they are not exactly comparable in terms of size and content, but that’s a broad category I’m putting them into.
Drudge Report, Factcheck.org, National Public Radio and The Onion are the ones, which are mainly meant for reading news. Out of all of them, I found Drude Report quite unique. It’s like Bookmark folder in your browser, with links to almost all popular news websites and some other hyperlinks to the Breaking News of the day.
Other than them, one of the interesting website, I came across is Netflix.com It’s an online movie rental website, with more than 65,000 titles - Classics to new releases. It offers free shipping, no late fees and free trial for new customers. Ultimate treat for movie buffs. A clean interface to browse the movie titles is appealing and little background about the movies is quite informative. A rating mechanism or a link to IMDB for that particular title would have been great 
But I think the other website Rotten Tomatoes fills in that gap.
Last category of websites was shopping websites like Shopzilla and Zappos. Shopzilla has quite a vast variety of products from different stores, zappos offers accessories mainly like shoes, handbags and apparels. Both of them are quite okay, as you can rate them after comparing the deals offered by them.
Then, there were the giants like Amazon, Google, Yahoo etc. everyone knows, use and of course, we can’t live WITHOUT any one of them. In the end, here is a list of sites, I can’t live without - Amazon, Google, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Blogger, Google News, ESPN, Ebay, Flickr, Apple Movie Trailers and The Internet Movie Database.
