PC World's 25 Worst Web Sites

Cilibrin writes "PC World has posted a story on the 25 dumbest dot-coms and silliest sites. Among those to make the list are the pet-related Neuticles — a site for testicular implants for pets — and every child's favorite, Rabies for Kids." From the article: "As venture capitalists scramble to throw money at anything labeled Ajax or Web 2.0, and Web publishing becomes so simple that anyone with a working mouse hand can put up a site, we offer our list of the 25 worst Web sites of all time. Many of our bottom 25 date from the dot-com boom, when no bad idea went unfunded. Some sites were outright scams — at least two of our featured Net entrepreneurs spent some time in the pokey. Others are just examples of bad design, or sites that got a little too careless with users' information, or tried to demand far too much personal data for too little benefit. And to prove we're not afraid to pick on somebody much bigger than us, our pick for the worst Web site may be the hottest cyberspot on the planet right now. "

Myspace...

[Patik]

Should've taken all 25 spots.

YES!

[DurendalMac]

I'm glad it made number one. I work in a computer lab as a student at a university, and Myspace is responsible for more browser hangs than everything else combined. That site is a festering cyst on the asshole of the internet.

Re: myspace

[NoTheory]

I say this as someone who both loathes myspace, and has an account (granted w/o any information filled in), but how is signing up for a myspace account resistance? The problem with moshi conceptually, is that people don't care whether their code or their CSS is kosher, they just care that it looks the way they want it to. I guess i just fail to see how moshi encourages people to be better. Even if you give a proof of concept, that doesn't mean that anybody is going to jump on the bandwagon.

Re: myspace

[FireFury03]

people don't care whether their code or their CSS is kosher, they just care that it looks the way they want it to.

Also, the way they want it to look is often terrible - most of the MySpace sites are either completely unreadable because of some background the site owner has decided to apply, or just plain annoying because they've decided that absolutely everyone must hear their favorite piece of music so they push it upon you as soon as you open the page.

From what I can see, the one good thing MySpace has done is group a large amount of crap in one place so it's easier to avoid.

(And I'm not even going to get started on the number of MySpace people who have taken to whoring my bandwidth by linking full size 6MP photos off my web server as their background images without permission).

While it's undeniable that there's tons of Crap on MySpace, it also has it's uses.

As an independent musician who has a CD out, MySpace has given me an excellent means of promotion and finding new listeners. I've also been able to find other musicians to form bands with using MySpace. I wouldn't have a bass player right now if it weren't for MySpace. It was simply a matter of heading over to google and typing "inurl:myspace.com (my city name) bass" (since MySpace lacks a useful search feature, heh) and I fou

No joke, I've seen them hanging from the back of large, powerful trucks on the expressways around me.

I've not seen them very often, mind you, but every couple months or so I see another one (or pair, as it were).

Are you really implying that the boss felt he had the right to order his workers to remove these "decorative" objects AND that the workers all acted like good little sheep and obeyed him?

Absolutely. A parking lot is private property, and the rights of the property owner trump any 1st, 2nd, or 4th amendment rights you have. That's why you can be fired for wearing an "offensive" T-shirt to work, you can be fired for carrying a self-defense tool at work, and your employer can have your desk/locker/you searched

Those are pretty bad...

[HatchedEggs]

Of course, there are much worse out there. How do I know, I see it every time a new person wants to start a fan site about something stupid.

On the other hand, there are lots of cool sites. www.stickdeath.com used to be cool, until they started using annoying pop ups (yay for blockers) and what not. Funny site though. There are tons of others... so, my suggestion, when you come to talk some trash about how bad those sites are and add your list, throw out a site you think is cool as well.

After they removed his manhood, we had the install a big ole pair of neuticles. He was unsure of himself for a few days. He sniffed at them tentatively, gave them a lick and he was hooked. I decided to get a pair for Scamp installed. And boy was he happy. Now, both dogs lick themselves with the same enthusiasm as if they had real balls.

I agree. I think Hamsterdance, badger, all your base, etc. Are all a matter of "How funny did you find it?". They obviously weren't meant to be seriously attracting someone to use the site with some kind of purpose. I think the entire list should be redone minus joke (or "one hit wonder") web sites.

I think a list of "worst web sites" should be done using only serious material. If you had a "dumbest quote" contest, you wouldn't include intentional jokes.

I think I could make a better performing site if I hosted it on my old TI-83+ calculator. That site is BAD.

These guys have the cheapest hardware in Australia but their web page definitely doesn't have a budget at all

Another one I came across recently had been saved as html from ms word and had file:// links all though it.

While that site is badly designed, I do find it highly entertaining. I think it is hilarious!

Hrm, so bad it's filtered by our work proxy:

Reason: The Websense category "Tasteless" is filtered.

Well site works, if the Quad 950 does make their publishing needs good no need to upgrade and it is also completely wrong to give .k12 school machine links on Slashdot saying "just check", it may render server useless since they are not planned to take hits from Slashdot.

Theoretically you can code a full feature site via text editor. ;)
