MySpace Is Rated As The Worst Web SitePC World rated the 25 worst popular sites of all time, and MySpace rightfully tops the list. Anybody have any sites (and we're talking big ones, folks) that deserve to be on the list? Posted by Jake on 09/19/06 @ 05:28 PM

Notice they misspelled it, the site is actually hamPsterdance.com ... and yes I (and the site owners) know that the proper spelling of that cute fuzzy animal is "hamster". LOL... I love that Microsoft got a double whammy, losing out with BOTH hotmail.com and Windows Update. Next maybe they will pick on the websites with the most annoying or boring ad campaigns. (Can you say "eHarmony"?) Aaron Wormus said on 09/20/06 @ 01:06 AM: Stupid article by clueless authors. Read my take: http://www.wormus.com/aaron/stories/2006/09/16/in-defence-of-myspace-and-other-worst-web-sites.html I think YouTube should be on the list. No Business model HUGE running costs, will be the first thing to sink when the bubble bursts. Aaron Wormus said on 09/20/06 @ 01:07 AM: And you added the "popular" in there :) that rabies site can in no way be classified as popular :) Simone said on 09/20/06 @ 06:08 PM: Thank you, Jake. You're my hero. I've always maintained that MySpace fosters some of the nastiest web design ever - but to see that in print at PC Magazine is plain awesome. Yay. Jesse said on 09/21/06 @ 02:52 PM: I thought the list was interesting and insightful, and in reading the comments predicted that Aaron above must have had glasses on crooked or something, but then when I read Aaron's blog entry I realized he had a point. From Aaron: "Take the authors reasoning for selecting Myspace [...] and substitute the words Myspace with Internet and it reads like some geriatric congressman telling congress that the internet is just a bunch of pedophiles and bad for the morality of this great nation." If nothing else, this author is undoubtedly grasping at straws. There was such an ocean of badness out there, that how can he have possibly chosen these 25 if not at random? No I leave you to read the remainder of Aaron's blog and about Youtube. If they go under, then, would that just leave Google Video? I do believe GV is sleeker and uses a better business model (who is going to say that google doesn't know business models?) but I do sometimes wonder who had and implemented the idea first... hmm. :) Post a comment |
