Time’s 50 Best Sites
Posted by: Rebecca Vnuk

Time has published its 50 Best Web Sites 2010. You can find it here

Of course, not all of the 50 sites have much reference or educational value but there are several that might be worth bookmarking. Among them are sites with brand names that give them instant authority; for  example, Mayo Clinic, MIT OpenCourseWare, and National Geographic. Among other sites, Sports-Reference.com aims to be the easiest -to-use, fastest, and most complete source for statistics and other information on baseball, football (pro and college), basketball (ditto), hockey, and the Olympics. Livemocha, the collaborative online language learning site, made the list. And check out the Guardian, described as “one of the best designed newspaper Web sites in the world.” 

If you just want to shop, eat, play games, and share stuff with friends, there are plenty of sites on the list that serve those purposes too.
