- SiNN4R, on 10/18/2007, -0/+54I've been to web md and after going there I thought I had everything from leprosy to syphalis.

- marc2242, on 10/11/2007, -2/+44I would definitely not put Monster on this list. Some other interesting ones though.
- Farik, on 10/18/2007, -2/+40It may not be in the same vein as these sites, but I've always found Wikipedia the most useful site for finding information on the Tubes (aside from Google).
- mearom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33where the hell is wikipedia?
- reubencm, on 10/13/2007, -1/+29digg- Ridiculously useful for wasting countless hours which could have been spent doing a number of other far more productive tasks
- schniff, on 10/10/2007, -3/+30Pandora anyone?
- SamKellett, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24The downside to getting addicted to House. Everytime my neck ached I thought meningitis...
- therodersabides, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24musicovery would be a whole lot better if they didn't list the same bands over and over again. We all love Radiohead, but we don't need four Hail to the Thief songs listed every time.
- verifex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I've never seen the productwiki before, that is an incredibly useful site there. No more wading through lots of garbage marketing BS for every product to see how it stacks up.
- underdog5004, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21It could be lupus.
It's NEVER lupus! - adooga, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18How about a list of blog sites that post lists of the authors favourite things.
- dagamer34, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21Honestly, Google isn't all it's cracked up to be anymore with Wikipedia around. Most of the time when you search for something on Google, the wikipedia page is a top 3 link, so I just cut out the middle man all together.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Even beyond it's randomness, it simply reeks of your jealousy... He made a wise business decision, and made millions. What the hell are you rambling on about them spending their money for? It's their money, let them spend it or waste it and worry about your own damn self. Sheesh, that was pathetic.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18"...but never before compiled in a single list for this reason before!"
- muffinmanpoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Could you be further off topic?
- purty707, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16instructables.com >>>> ehow.com
- ShootTheCore, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Expensive trip to the doctor...?
Oh yeah, you have to pay for health care in your country.... - betona, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Indeed. The only responses I ever got from them were from spammers that Monster didn't check out using their system to spam me or even send botnet programs to me.
If you're a tech person looking for a job, Dice.com is the place to go. I've had so many very good contacts from there over the years. - Farik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Unexplainable and large tangent FTW!
- thushan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11From Slashdot:
"The BBC has an article detailing a successful attack on the US recruitment site, Monster.com. According to the article, 'A computer program was used to access the employers' section of the website using stolen log-in credentials' and that the stolen details were 'uploaded to a remote web server'. Apparently, this remote server 'held over 1.6 million entries with personal information belonging to several hundred thousands of candidates, mainly based in the US, who had posted their resumes to the Monster.com website'. The article also links the break-in to a phishing e-mail sent out recently where personal details were used to entice users to download a 'Monster Job Seeker Tool.'"
So ridiculously useful if you were a spammer and if thats you, DIE BiTCH. - webcure, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Welcome to the internet!
- reubencm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9no.
- Antibland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Mirror, mirror, on the wall...http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/15_Ridiculously_Us ...
- Fungo, on 10/20/2007, -0/+9Musicovery blows. Rammstein, Rage Against the Machine, and Hoobastank are NOT metal. I'm sticking with Pandora.
- hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9"this is not really related to the article"
Then why the hell are you mentioning it? - dign, on 10/18/2007, -0/+7From my experience with the hospitals, webMD is useful to get more details on how doctors came up with their diagnosis. Do NOT use this to diagnose yourself. It is also useful to check on mixing prescriptions with OTC medication. (contraindication)
- jstevewhite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If WebMD is the only source you have, you deserve what you get. If you think an automated website diagnostic system is going to make the fine diagnostic distinctions that a clinician is, you deserve what you get. But if you go to that clinician uninformed, again, you deserve what you get. Medicine is not a monolithic knowledge base, but a vast point-spread of clinicians with varying degrees of knowledge, expertise, and skill. They don't like to talk about this, but some doctors' patients have a higher survival/recovery/success rate than others...
I tend to hit WebMD, do some gross diagnostic analysis, then google the resulting possibilities for more details. Then I go to the doctor and say, "I think I have x and need x, but I wanted to find out what someone trained, educated, and experienced thought about it, and see how close I was." Only once have I gotten any response but, "Wow, you know how to do your research!", and that was, "I'll tell you what I think after I examine you." After examining me: "Yep, you're right. Good job. Here's your prescription. Do you work in the medical field?"
In the final analysis, you must understand enough to avoid drawing conclusions based on an automated semi-expert system, and you must be smart enough to research critically the results, and wise enough not to make your doctor an adversary before he/she treats you; but informing yourself is the only defense you have against the doctors out there that are marginally competent, or even incompetent. - Adrianc333, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7DuggMirror - For when weak blogs go down under Digg.
- webcure, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7But you already know the address!
- dserfaty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Dugg for ProductWiki and Musicovery.
- stargatesteve, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9please take note that Digg isn't on the list.
- crawf061, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7dugg for weenie! :)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Buried for "weenie."
- Tikkimann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Hey, that's not fair! I'm a n00b, and I didn't know about these websites. At least, not 10 of them...
- itdood, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I had the best success w/monster out of all of them. I was fired back in April. I have 2 kids, one was 6 months. No healthcare or severance and my wife had just quit her job. I posted like all heck on all of them. I had a better job than the one I was fired from in 8 days from a monster posting. Nothing is perfect but the most productive activity I had was from Monster. Careerbuilder was the worst. For some odd reason I ended up being pushed through by a 3rd party recruiter anyway which was a shame, they got 20% of my base for absolutely nothing. But the recruiter intercepted my resume on Monster before the compnay recruiter found my positng through their own posting.
The worst part were the obvious scams. Here I am in a panic wondering how I'm going to support my family and these scum bags are in the mix making noise trying to take money from me. Such is life though, gotta navigate through the parasites, some things never change despite the technology. - Trym, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12last.fm >> pandora
- UNL1M1T3D, on 10/18/2007, -0/+4Nothing should be a substitute for going and seeing a real doctor, but it is a great web site for finding out more about diseases and getting a rough idea of what is going on.
- Metis2be, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Monster always proved useless for me, since I'm looking for entry level. Anyone have a good website for retail or other such crappy jobs?
- PoeticExplosion, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is why the Firefox extension "Googlepedia" exists, so you can search both at once! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/251 ...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4crossfit is the gospel
- Treshnell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Actually, quite a few sites I hadn't known about on there.
- Yondelldude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4WebMD is also great for hypochondria
- felman87, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7no pron?
- dudinatrix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4imdb.com?
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I briefly played with Musicovery.com and found that Pandora MURDERS it. Nice design, but the content is so middle of the road that you'll likely not discover anything new. Pandora FTW!
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3WebMD is fine as long as it's not the sole resource. There are plenty of health encyclopedia websites out there.
I'm not a physician, so I can't speak to the reliability of WebMD; however, I usually hit multiple sites and see what they say in common and what they say different. - pmace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Agreed, but it sure as hell isn't for "average Joes".
- butiamjessica, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Missing:
Google, Wiki, & Digg to name a few. Those can replace things that are hardly useful. Still a neat little list to remind me of the crap that gets left behind. I do avoid webmd though as by using it once I diagnosed myself with cerebral palsy when it was bell's palsy...big difference there!! -
