Slashdot: The weathered pioneer of some form of Web 2.0 roots - I don't find slashdot to be particularly intriguing anymore, despite that it is still very high quality and has a solid bunch of people behind it. It's been up since 1997 and was the first website of it's kind to become prominent, and remained the only one for quite a while. It's like a digg predecessor without the digging.

The Best Page in the Universe (Celebrating 10 years of literary genius) - One of the oldest popular jerk-humor weblogs on the internet since the 90's. He's also the author of "The Alphabet of Manliness"

The website lost a lot of momentum in 2003, due to the forces of net-boom and working on that book. Regardless, just about the entire website is hilarious. Way $#*!ing hilarious.

If you take a gander and are new to his rantings, I suggest look around the era when the updates were closer to once or twice a week instead of 5-8 per year.

Free Online Hypnosis Professional & Amateur Community - A very active community. The only one of it's kind in it's league. Great information about the scientific process of in-depth control over the subconscious mind. Hypnosis is like technical meditation.

Give these guys your feedback! - Everybody here should get involved in this at least once!Being that many people here seem familiar with the upper-echelon tier of websites, everybody undoubtedly could make at least one contribution to the improvement of the site, whether it be an original suggestion or not.

"ONLINE MEDIA GOD": 400+ Tools for Photographers, Videobloggers, Podcasters & Musicians - Just as the title reads. It's allowed me to accomplish quite a bit for my colleagues (when im in a pinch and not at my recording studio), and in the near future will do so much more for myself as well.

The Onion's 5-year-old movie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0392878/

It's quirky and fast-paced. Especially funny to me because of being filmed in 2003 and shelved until 2008. Delightful because the jokes only got funnier while aging. An honorable mention is Rodney Dangerfield being in this movie, released 4 years after his passing. To the best of my knowledge, theonion,com doesn't have any references to their own movie, which also cracks me up.

Overall, not any individual hard-hitting spectacular jokes or bits, but a hilarious variety show (with a big emphasis on... variety).

popurls - the whole goddamn mainstream internet in one site. - at least for a handful of website genres.

If you're addicted to stuff like digg and slashdot like I am, this website is overwhelming.

It's not particularly groundbreaking or interesting but it definitely is convenient, and it somewhat reeks of internet pop culture congestion.

Helium - Where knowledge rules - Community-oriented writer and thinker hub that helps aggregate ideas and provide them to those seeking. The website seems to have a prime directive of bringing together the efforts of writers, publishers, journalism institutions, and organizations based on anything from news to charity. There's also a cool debate section.

Cracked - Subjective humor blog/college-like and Maddoxesque humor - A variety of subject matter in the topics that are ranked, often pertaining to pop culture or current events. Very entertaining at times and typically somewhat witty. The website is mostly popular for its top "X" blog posts.

http://www.yougetsignal.com/ - A concise toolkit for web-related tracking. - Very utilitarian, pleasant layout.
