100 Undiscovered Websites

I've become a champion of Web2.0. Spending over 30 years in a Catholic school you get used to looking for cheap, or better yet -- free. So, when PC Magazine had an article about the top 100 Undiscovered Websites, you'd better believe I was on it.
There they were -- a treasure trove of goodies for the teacher of technology to download and begin sharing. Gotta love it.

The grandboys and I had fun with Totlol last night -- looking up videos of kittens falling off ledges and laughing at dogs morphing. Totlol is YouTube for kids -- filtered for content and of age appropriate.

Viewzi Power Grid is one of the best search tools I've ever seen. Put in what you want to search and up pops the website index pages to browse. I'm going to see how to put the links on this blog.

Earth Album Alpha -- a mash up between Google Earth and Flickr. Click on any part of the world and up comes beautiful photos of the sights.

SearchMe -- another Visual Search. You can look for videos and music as well as pages. Ask for The Beatles and you can even find a choral arrangement of Michelle by the Kennedy Chorus (if you really want to hear it.) As for videos -- most of the ones I looked at were YouTube, however, instead of offering other things similar but unrelated, it has a plethora of videos by the artists right there to scroll through.

There was lots more besides, so I'll put in the link to the article.
