Top 5 Web 2.0 sites I can’t live without

Okay, the title’s stretching it a bit far. However, if you were to choose five (only 5!?) Web 2.0 sites or services, which ones would you pick and why?

LinkedIn
5) LinkedIn – a lot of people don’t think LinkedIn is that useful but if you’re the networking type, this gotta be the place for you. I heard of stories from officemates of friends getting hired because of their LinkedIn profiles.

Netvibes
4) Netvibes – this is my personal online executive assistant. She has all (almost) the information and details I need.

YouTube
3) YouTube – everyone’s gotta have their own juice of entertainment and I think YouTube tops the chart for all visual pleasures. It could practically replace your set top TV.

Digg Logo
2) Digg – this guy changed the way we looked at news and help the common netizen take back the web.

Wikipedia
1) Wikipedia – Wikipedia exemplifies that saying in the old Hackers movie “information belongs to the world!”

So, what’s your top 5?

    oh, web 2.0 He he. Yeah, well, put Quezon.ph there instead.

  13. Avatar for BrianB BrianB says:

    Btw, uh, Inquirer?

    I’m not going to spend 25 bucks on the Inquirer. I’d rather buy a beer.

    Yep, those Altech Bluetooth speakers are going to fry your brain anyway.

    @ BrianB – I can’t do it the Engadget way. The international shipping alone is very expensive. Alam mo naman dito saten ‘Pinas. Besides, my entry limit is 100 only so each one has 1% chance of winning. Sa Engadget umaabot ng 5,000+ entries which has way lower chances of winning. I think my contest mechanics are much easier than theirs.

    Btw, uh, Inquirer?
