The Five Most Visited Websites

How many websites do you visit in a day? Week? Month?

We know, just from you reading this today, that you visit at least one website that we know about. And chances are, you got here after visiting a search engine or a link from another site.

And it’s really hard to guess what the LEAST VISITED WEBSITE IN THE WORLD is, because there are any number of purchased domains that some bloke is using for their own personal storage space rather than serving a public service. For every website that you may have heard of, there are likely thousands that are only known about by the person who purchased the domain name.

Isn’t it time to use that inspiration in more enjoyable ways? After all, who wants to run out and buy an iconic product if you have no use for it?

Most Iconic Brands across the US

Whenever Web Watch travels around the country, we always try to “go local” whenever possible. We can eat at an Applebee’s or a McDonald’s almost anywhere… but we’ll go out of our way to chow down at an IN-N-OUT BURGER or grab a beer at the WYNKOOP BREWERY because, well, we can’t get that stuff locally.

Well, we could if we put some effort into the project, but you know what we mean. When you travel, you want to be like a native. If that means drinking sweet tea while in the South, or grabbing some BBQ in Texas, having a lobster roll in Maine — well, by golly, that’s what we’re going to do.

Are you ashamed of where you live, not because of the neighborhood, but because of the name of your city?

How would you like to live in either Blue Ball or Intercourse, Pennsylvania? Cumming, Georgia? Stoner, Colorado? (well, that last one may be more appropriate now than previously, but still…)

Of course you can see a full list of EMBARASSING CITY NAMES at any number of places online…

How well do you know world events and politics? (Chances are, not well at all)

Were you one of those kids who really excelled at Social Studies in grade school?

Do you sit there and read through the World Almanac every year?

Can you entertain others at a cocktail party with your ability to name every foreign president in alphabetical order?

Yeah, we didn’t think so. Kids who can do that kind of stuff are pretty much dorks.

Facebook vs the World: Tracking Your Friendships around the Globe

Web Watch has traveled all over the world and has made tons of friends.

We could call up folks from Hong Kong to Morocco, and places in-between using that old-fashioned telephone thingie.

Sure, we could use Facebook to reach out to all our friends, but why do something that impersonal when you can reach out and touch someone with a phone call?

Have you ever had a free weekend where you just wanted to head out of town — anywhere — and didn’t have any more solid plan other than “what can we see within a 2-hour drive from here?”

Or asked the same question about how far you could walk or bicycle in a certain timeframe?

Well, worry no more – Web Watch has found a site for you.

How to accurately map the state of Michigan to your hand

World Map Wallpaper

We all know that your right hand (palm up) is the Internationally Known Map of the state of Michigan.

But everyone always points to the wrong part of the hand when saying where they are from, whether it be Detroit, Midland, Flint, Kohler, or Battle Creek.

Everyone is always a little bit off.
