50 Best Websites 2008
Some are as useful as a GPS device, others aren't that useful but give you something to do when you had nothing planned for the day. Put them all together and they become TIME.com's 2008 picks for the best the Web has to offer
Howcast
There's a reason no one ever reads the instruction manual. Ho. Hum. That's
why the video how-to site Howcast is such
a gem. It breaks from its more staid counterparts, such as Expert Village and eHow, by injecting a necessary dose of humor. Come
here to learn "how to make a move on a girl while watching a movie on a
couch" and "how to become a saint." Each video is rated — often by
thousands of members — so you won't waste bandwidth on the boring ones. We
also like WonderHowTo, which neatly
indexes and ranks how-to videos from hundreds of other sites.
