10 Sites that make the web better for everyone

There has been a little hiatus from posting but nevertheless we'll get back on track. The internet is enormous and LikeUmm tries to scale it down to bring the best out of it. Yes Digg, Reddit, Mixx, and so on do that as well but each of those sites is catered toward news in the form of articles, pictures, and videos. We focus on whole websites and then put them into categories to be voted on and reviewed so that a nice organized list evolves out of all the chaos. For example, where does everyone go for their web marketing news or what is the best social network to join for a real estate agent? It's not impossible to answer those questions but it's not easy. Potentially you can just ask Google but then you wouldn't have any clue as far as the popularity. There definitely would be some validation in a search if you knew that 1000 or more other people really like it as well. I love sites that try to bring out the best of something through popularity, community voting, traffic, hits, etc... so I'll name some of my favorites.

1. Likeumm.com I have to give a shout out.

2. IMDB.com It's the number 1 place to find out the ranking of a movie and how it was perceived by the community.

3. Digg.com The most popular social news site.

4. Delicious.com The place for social bookmarking, it's always interesting to see which bookmarks become super popular.

5. Threadless.com You submit a design for a shirt, people vote on it, threadless sells it, you make money.

6. Ratemydrawings.com URL is pretty self explanatory, but people vote on drawings and the best rise to the top.

7. Quantcast.com They estimate web traffic and rank the top million sites based popularity. Nothing is categorized but still is cool and useful.

8. Yelp.com A business review site that ranks restaurants, shops, spas, plumbers, and more allowing people to decide if a business is worthy of their time and money.

9. Hypem.com A cool place to see what songs are popular in the music blogs. You can even filter the music blogs so that you only see songs from the popular blogs. A little double popularity.

10. Weblogawards.org Another great site to find the best blogs on the web as voted by everyone. 

These are 10 great sites that try to make the stuff on the internet a little easier and better for the rest of us.
