The Top 100 Web Sites of 2011 -Power of Starburst Home Page and Web 100
Our list of Top 100 Web Sites evolve over the years has been a fairly fascinating process. We provide the Top 100 websites in hundreds of categories. The sites that tend to make the list are indicative of larger trends that have dominated the Web for the previous 12 months.One of the biggest trends of the past few years has been the rise of the mobile app. Thanks to devices like the iPhone and iPad, many users are doing a large portion of their Web browsing on something other than their PC. For that reason, the trend toward Web-based app development has waned. Instead of building cloud-based apps for browsers, many developers have moved toward mobile app development.
Those sites that do still target PC users must offer their content in a mobile form to compete. While there are no mobile-only sites here, a good chunk of those on the list are also available as mobile apps or in some other phone-friendly version.MoreAs the landscape becomes ever more crowded, the need for site aggregation and content filters becomes ever more apparent. Perhaps, somewhat ironically, we found ourselves in the position of weeding through dozens of sites that promise to filter the increasing noise. Some of the better news, search, and travel aggregating/filtering sites made it through.
Speaking of filtering, we've got a few strict guidelines that we use as we pour through hundreds of suggestions from readers, staff, and friends. The sites also can't be download-based¡Xthat means no browser plug-ins and no desktop apps. The sites also have to be free¡Xthey can have a premium counterpart, sure, but the free version has to be worth recommending on its own merits.
