The Seven Wonders of the Internet World

The Google Search Engine is probably the top wonder in the Internet world.  Why, because it’s just so friggin’ huge!  But, also because it involves Google Maps, is integrated with gMail and well, is just a better engine than the other’s.  

Wikipedia – and don’t forget specialty wiki’s like http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page or even (as depressing as it may be) the wikia 90210 page.

Social Networks – Facebook, MySpace, Classmates.com and LinkedIn – oh and digg and delicious too…  Social networks are today’s iteration of what we thought virtual reality would be.  They get better every year, with the exception of New Facebook, which isn’t actually as cool IMO as old Facebook.

Free email – Be it Hotmail (which to me is the original), Gmail or Yahoo mail

E-commerce – Amazon.com, Buy.com, eBay, online banking and one of the best ever (because it’s free), CraigsList.

Peer-to-Peer networks – Torrents, Tor (OK it’s a stretch to call it P2P), etc.  I mean, really…

Wait – that was only 6…  Well, let me know what you think should be number 7.  ;)

Safari Online

Safari books online is pretty amazing.  I can search for anything and then read only the relevant passage in the book as needed.  I just can’t read entire IT books cover-to-cover like I used to any more.  That seemed to stop when I started to write my own books.  But, when I’m googling for something I am getting way more false positives than I’d like and so now I will first go to Safari, and then to the wider world of Google…
