Time magazine has chosen what it considers to be the top 50 web sites of 2007 - sites that show, "...exceptional style and smarts, sites that offer new and improved ways to access and share content, generate our own and otherwise enrich the online (and off-line) experience." In the Social Networks category, the top sites included among others StumbleUpon, Hitchsters (a carpooling site), and LinkedIn.
Among the News & Information sites that made the Top Fifty were INGDirect.com (a banking site), OpenSecrets.org (a campaign finance analysis site), and NowPublic.com, a "citizen journalism" site.
The Web Services category included among others: Mozy.com (online file backup service); Tumblr.com
Time also had an Arts & Leisure category, in which sites which made the Top Fifty list included among others: Wotartist.com (art gallery), PhotonHead.com (digital photography), and CellSwapper.com (wireless carrier contract swapping site).
The final category, Audio & Video, included among others: FunnyOrDie.com (a YouTube alternative), Last.fm (custom radio), and Lala.com (a digital music store).
