Seven Wonders of the World (Wide Web) (1 Viewer)

[chensta]

This amazing technology called the World Wide Web has been in the mainstream for just a little over 10 years, yet we are already taking it for granted. Much like we take the natural world around us for granted.

Every once in a while though you’ll stop and stare at the sky, or be struck by the beauty of an everyday thing. This can happen even with the web, if you take a moment.

Well, I’m here today to give you that moment. Geeks and Geekettes, Nerds and Nerdesses, I present to you my Seven Wonders of the World Wide Web

I have not even heard of any of them except Google.
Did they gain popularity due to the numerous flood of advertisements those unknown sites vomit up?

In other news:

That's more like it!
