While there's plenty of good information on the web, only the best
sites make it onto our annual 50 Best of the Web list. As usual, we've
selected sites that cover a broad range of topics, from spiral galaxies to an
electronics treasure trove. Not only do these sites provide a wealth of
information, they enliven it with interactive games, video clips, animations,
and breathtaking pictures. Part of the driving force behind the movement to a
more interactive and audiovisual presentation is the growth of high-speed
connections like DSL and cable modems. In fact, some sites have
broadband-specific content. |
