[Sigia-l] worst site ever?

[Anthony Hempell]

"It takes no skill to produce something awful. Anyone can do it."

It takes no skill to make something mediocre, clichéd, and derivative. To be truly awful is a gift that is just as rare as genius.

Best site on the internet is, hands down:
http://www.wikipedia.org/

The closest approximation of Vannevar Bush's  and H.G. Wells' vision of human knowledge management that was first mapped out in the 1903's and 40's and continues to blow me away every time I use it.

"These innovators, who may be dreamers today, but who hope to become very active organizers tomorrow, project a unified, if not a centralized, world organ to "pull the mind of the world together", which will be not so much a rival to the universities, as a supplementary and co-ordinating addition to their educational activities - on a planetary scale."

Personally, I'm more interested when people do things well. That requires 
talent.

Any suggestions for the best site on the internet ever?
