Undiscovered Websites

It's time to take a "sick" day and experience the top 100 undiscovered Web sites from PCMag.com.

This annual Internet rite of passage is assembled by a team of PC Magazine editors, bloggers and analysts who pore over thousands of submissions to find the best and the brightest on the Web. Kyle Monson of PC Magazine was here to show us a few website highlights.

WEBSITES AND VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP...

We learned about the following sites:

Personal Organization/Convenience: www.pageonce.com - Collects your account info for Netflix, Verizon and just about any online account and aggregates the info into a single page.

Entertainment: www.totlol.com – A kid-friendly YouTube. Actual human beings vet videos from all over the Web as suitable for kids age six months to six years and embed them at this site.

Health/Safety: www.criminalsearches.com – Provides data on criminals in your neighborhood, what crimes they were convicted of, and, in some cases, their names and personal info—all from public records.

Dating: www.woome.com – Like speed dating Internet-style, WooMe makes meeting people online easy and fun. There are no cumbersome profiles to (over) analyze—just pick a video-chat session to join and chat with five people in five minutes.

Finances: www.billshrink.com – If you think you're paying too much for your wireless plan, BillShrink can help. Just tell it how much you pay monthly, your ZIP code, and some usage details like how many minutes you tend to use, how often you send text messages, and average data use. BillShrink will then let you know which wireless carrier plan is right for your usage, and estimate your potential annual savings (which you can then spend on gas).

What was the website that you gave this morning about IQ kids.com? I missed the first part.

Thank You
