Waste of _Time_

On Monday, Time magazine released its 50 Best Websites of 2008, and it’s stupid.

In a sad attempt to come across like professional websurfers who’ve got the scoop on up-and-coming domains, the digital arm of the media’s token old fart rag instead comes across desperate, clueless and boring by plugging URLs that are either totally arbitrary (e.g. a tabloid site that reports on black celebs) or totally useless. Case in point: the number one spot was taken by Gas Buddy, a site that helps you drive all over the fuckin’ place to find the cheapest pumps in town.

What do you think?

    good call.

    just another example of boomer hacks convincing themselves t they’re savvy because they recently heard their college sophomore son, brenden or whoever, drop what they feel must a “buzzword.”

    it’s the root of all worthless and outdated trend

    yes, presidenthowardtaft.
    But then there’s a different kind of boomer.

    and it ain’t music.
    it’s just soft.”
