‘Overrated’ Digg causes more debate than Time’s Top 50 Websites of 2010
TIME magazine has released its list of the 50 best websites of 2010.
In a sometimes strained bid to remove itself from the predictability of last year’s list – which included Google, YouTube, Facebook and Skype – Time’s Top 50 Websites of 2010 has opted to give some of the smaller hitters a boost in 2010.
Vimeo is more intuitive than YouTube. Gowalla is more fun than Foursquare. LinkedIn and Tumblr have surpassed Facebook and Twitter.
WikiLeaks has made the top five News & Info list, but then again, so has The Onion.
But it seems the big announcement from Time has been outdone by its own complementary piece, “The Five Most Overrated Websites”.
News Ltd’s MySpace – owned by the parent company of www.news.com.au – gets its regular pasting for not being innovative enough, while Craigslist is too boring, even for a classifieds listing.
The real interest is the vote against news aggregator slash social network Digg, criticised again for not keeping up with the likes of Facebook.
It’s the top trending topic at Time.com, no doubt fuelled by thousands of raging Diggers themselves.
Best Websites versus Most Overrated Websites? Once again, bad news is good news for publishers.
