What do you think of these websites?

Human Clock

A pointless, but artistic website where people from around the world submit pictures of objects (not necessarily clocks) displaying the current time.

Blurb

A website where you can download software to create and publish a completely unique book, which, when complete will be shipped to you, pictures and text galore. A great idea!

Snap

A very useful and thorough search engine that displays pictures of the sites you searched for, as well as text.

Pixsy

A cluttered news site that groups information from various news sites around the world. It also sports a search similar to snap.com.

Meebo

A website that enables you to use four different internet messaging accounts (AIM/ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, Jabber/Google Talk, and the ubiquitous MSN) simultaneously. Great for people (like me) who have two or more of those IM accounts.

Digg

Similar to Pixsy, but better. Submitted by humans, and organised accordingly, this site is hardly as cluttered as Pixsy, but sometimes doesn't have as many news stories. Nonetheless, it is more streamlined than Pixsy.

You Tube

A website in which users submit homemade videos. There are other websites that do the same thing (i.e.-Google Videos, iTunes), but let you purchase DVD-quality legal videos as well as view homemade videos.

Infogrid

A site that contains nearly every link in the internet (over 5 billion pages), including email portals, news, and shopping. Great for people who need everything within a few clicks.

Ixquick

A metasearch engine that lets you search not only the web, but international phone books, lowest prices, and pictures. I like it because of the phone search.

Mamma

Yet another metasearch engine, but this one only brings up relevant pages (unlike Google), but I still prefer snap.com or dogpile.com to this site.
