Top Ten Single Serving Web Sites
Sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad
Recently I read an article from Wired Magazine on single serving web sites. These sites by definition only serve one purpose and have very few pages, most only have one page, and the website should awnser the question posed by the url. The idea is simple is better and I have to agree.
As shown above sometimes too much of a good thing is bad. but given a good thing in a single serving is just fantastic:
So without delay here are my top ten Single Serving Web Sites:
1. http://www.wheresgeorge.com/
This site tracks your dollar bills to see where they go.
2. http://www.howstuffworks.com/
The only reason this site is not first is because of the large amount of data it has. It gives single servings of information out but it also hordes a lot of servings It does however have the most traffic and answers the question provided by the url.
3. http://www.whatismyip.com/
Another personal favorite this site is simple and does one task well.
4. http://www.whois.net/
I include this one next because it compliments number 3 someone should make a http://whatsmyipandwhoownsit.com
5. http://www.calculator.com/
While this site does not answer a question it does provide a plethora of online calculators.
6. http://whatshouldmysingleservingsitebeabout.com/
I found this from Wired’s article it provides helpful advice if you are a single serving site beginner.
7. http://whatweekisit.com/
This is an amazing site for seeing what week it is.
8. http://www.simplemailinglabel.com/
While this site does not ask a question with it’s URL it does make the job of mailing lables super easy.
9. http://www.whereami.at/
This site figures out where you are and then shows you on a map… Brilliant!
10. http://doineedpants.com/
This is a question that I mull over from time to time. If you ever find yourself asking do I need pants? Then head over to this site.
Well we’ve hit 10 items but if you have a single serving site to suggest please do so in the comments below. Hate/Love one of my suggestions? Tell me about that too.
Thanks for reading
