It’s easy to describe Time magazine (and the accompanying website) as a staple for the average individual, if not for North Americans, then definitely for Americans. From their yearly release of the Man of the Year (ironically, this year it was actually you that was listed as Man of the Year in response to the power of social media and online collaboration), to their widespread coverage of issues nationally and continentally important issues, Time magazine continues to remain relevant the same way that National Geographic and Forbes do.

Time has released their list of 25 Websites We Can’t Live Without. The list covers some of the long-standing sites on the Internet, like Yahoo!, Amazon and eBay, as well as some newer sites like Digg, Technorati, and Del.icio.us. It’s an interesting list, and although it might not reflect what my generation would list as the 25 websites they cannot live without, a majority of those sites would appear regardless of the age demographic. Interestingly absent from the list is anything to do with Microsoft. Within 2 years, I predict that Microsoft’s Live platform and the accompanying web-based Microsoft Office Suite of Applications will make a strong case for being on these types of lists.
