the greatest website in the world (wide web)

[potterfan3]

what do you think is the greastest website in the world (wide web), google, ebay, yahoo, hotmail, msn, the answerbank. i picked these for this question becuase they are more general, but you can say another one if you like. my favourite sites are; holylemon, puffgames, coffeebreak, mugglenet, but not every one is the same so try and put general websites on.

I liked google earth for about half an hour, til i realised it wasn't real time and you couldn't follow people about.

Looking at your suggestions, I hope that nobody will actually include Hotmail or MSN in their lists. Like almost all Microsoft offerings, they're totally dire and should have no place on the web!

So what do I like (and use)? Yes, Google's a fairly good search engine but I prefer Altavista: http://uk.altavista.com/
I also use their translation service, Babelfish quite a lot: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

The biggest site in the world is also one of the best (but still much under-used). Yes, it's the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/
(Everything from recipes to consumer law is here).

I'm a nosey so-and-so. I just love looking through other people's picture albums. The best source for all types of images has to be Webshots: http://www.webshots.com/homepage.html

Like most people, I hate paying for software when I can get it for free. Tucows is my favourite site : http://www.tucows.com/ but I also like Download.com: http://www.download.com/
It's also worth mentioning Serif's great site: http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/

Sticking with the free stuff, I like Acid Fonts for free fonts: http://www.acidfonts.com/ but a much more user friendly site (designed for kids but grear for adults, too) is Fonts for Kids:
http://www.momscorner4kids.com/fonts/index.htm

Lastly, I travel by rail quite a lot and get my UK train times from

(finishing off the bit removed by AB):

. . . . the German Rail (Die Bahn) website because it's far better than National Rail Enquiries: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
