MySpace, YouTube tops Time's 50 Coolest Websites

ByRamon Thomas

Time magazine has released its annual list of 50 Coolest websites here. I have started using both MySpace and YouTube frequently. And you can check out my MySpace profile here. And have connected with 71 friends so far. Some of them are very well-known South Africans like Danny K and ex-girlfriend Lee-Ann Liebenberg. The possibilities of embracing social networking websites are endless, and the sharing goes beyond mere photos, to music and video clips, little cute things that spice up your profile and more. It does seem like the Website users have become very savvy in finding new ways to connect and share with people. And they are opening up their personal lives so anyone can take a peek inside to a degree never before experienced in history.
