PCWorld and The Web’s Most Useful Websites

Well, though it's clear that there's precious little (pretty much next to nothing) more exhilerating than the plethora of FREE, killer, readily available, FREEWARE apps available to us out on the web right now, I'll have to admit that the ever increasing stack of really cool and killer USEFUL websites sites available, definitely hold there ground. In fact, PC World just released a pretty decent roundup of the webs most useful in it's February edition, appropriately entitled "The Web’s Most Useful Websites." Now, where I do admit that their list at times reminded me of Billboard's Top 40, I've gotta say, that I found it, for the most part, to be pretty well-rounded. I mean, particularly alongside oldtimers like Mapquest and Yahoo!, it was good seeing newcomers like 30 Boxes, Pandora FM, Zoho Writer, and del.icio.us, rack up their own well-deserved ga-gas. And at the end of the day, I can say that I too was pleasantly surprised to discover a couple of very killer sites that I had yet to discover on my own (RememberTheMilk, DeskTopTwo, Yelp!). Anyhow, if you wish to read the article in full, go check it out at PCWorld.com (or click here for the printer-friendly version). Otherwise, I've included a complete Cliff's Note's version (basically just links) for you below.
Enjoy!
