My Top Sites
I came across the Time’s top 50 sites list yesterday and to my surprise, most sites were new to me. I was expecting the typical technoratis – Facebook, Google, YouTube and them. Then I started thinking about my favorite sites and I drew a blank. How could this be? I go through thousands of sites a month. I realized that the only way to objectively answer this question was to dig through my blog for sites I’ve written about or linked to since the creation of socialmediaguy. This is what I found:
theshortestblogintheworld.blogspot.com – The Tina Fey of copy
I just made your day. Amy Flanagan is a brilliant copy writer from Boston who will have you peeing in your pants with her daily one liners.
Facebook – my home
I was one of the first 50k members on Facebook (yea that’s right) back when I was a freshman at BU and Zucky was across the pond hacking away in his Harvard dorm room.
Vimeo – the upscale YouTube
They have one of the sexiest players out there, HD, a beautiful layout, awesome customization options and apps for their channels, and they cater to a more high end, artistic crowd.
Undercurrent
Every Friday we live stream a dance party at 3:45pm. How can I not add that?
barackobama.com
Do you know how much money this guy is making off this site?
TED
Free videos of the world’s smartest visionaries talking about their work with unbelievable passion (see Majora Carter’s Greening the Ghetto, Isabella Alledes’ Tales of Passion and J.J. Abrams’ Mystery Box). I watch these videos on my ipod when I need a boost of inspiration.
noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com
The simplicity of this site is pure genius
utterz.com
Although I never use it, it is everything Twitter should be. Why don’t I use it?
goodurlbadurl.com
Proof that there are very dumb people with decision power in online marketing
marryourdaughter.com
This sent millions of WTFs across the web
technomarketer & Chris Brogan
I love these guys. Matt Dickman’s (Technomarketer) how-to videos and Chris Brogan’s grasp of technology and community have been an invaluable resource. They’ve been my mentors since my first days as the socialmediaguy.
