The 25 Worst Websites

I just read this article today from itWorldCanada.com, quite interesting.  Some well-known websites somehow were nominated among them.

20. hotmail.com - despite of the reason why it was nominated, which was considered as a virtual Switzerland for spammers, the well-known web-based email pioneer didn't dominate this market anymore.  The fancy AJAX-based version of the hotmail live is still on beta.  I tried but turned back to the classical version within a couple of days because I can't stand the performance they provided and compare the other two major email provider, GMail and Yahoo! Mail, honestly, the live version of hotmail is inferior.  Hopefully, their team would make it better in the next beta version.

16. Microsoft Windows Update - the reason why it was listed is because it only can be accessed in IE.  To me, it never was the problem.  Besides, you can either turn on your Windows Automatic Updates which you should be doing anyway or load IETab extension in your Firefox so you can run it right from your favorite browser.

1. MySpace - the reason is good enough and because it is just too popular.
