- vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+68No surprize who's #1. (by the way, why is this story under "tech deals"?)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58I'd personally include the PC-World site as one of them, just for making us sift through hundreds of pages just to see this list.
- whiskeymb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48that's the only reason I dugg it, cause mycrack was #1...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45THESE are the worst sites ;)
1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com
2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net
4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com
5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com
6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com
7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com
8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com
9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com
10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com - phelonius, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32The first time I went on MySpace I thought I had stumbled into some phishing site that was imitating the real MySpace or something, now that shows you it has to be the worst design ever!
- jefflog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Huh, I just figured all 25 would be hosted by MySpace...
- Vertabreaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18"10. MyLackey.com "
Should just change the name of this site to TakeMeOutBackAndKickMeInTheBalls.com - exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Check out the ad / content ratio!! I've seen spam with it lower.
- linksdeity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Anyone else know somebody who installed Banzai Buddy, and thinks its the coolest thing in the world?
ha ha, they're same people who play the add-banner "games" and think they are winners. - gommle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,127116/printable.html
Printable light weight site. - Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -1/+12What are popups?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Haven't you guys ever heard of this firefox extension called Adblock? It's a great little extension, along with filterset.g.
- floppyparty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Ok, where the hell is www.GoDaddy.com on this list?
As a web developer, I don't need to go to Rabiesforchildren.com 4-10 times a month if I decide not to. UNFORTUNATELY, many of the people I support buy their domain names from Go Daddy, so I have no freaking choice but to login to their horrible website to do my work.
My Vote: GoDaddy.com - carguy84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I was thinking the same thing. How can such a big company and website still be totally missing the boat with their web presence?
- LordofChaosIori, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12It IS number one... did you even read the article before digging it?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+131# should have been pcworld.com for 1, spreading these arcticles over 5 pages when 1 would do and covering the damn thing in adverts.
but myspace was a good call for #1 - SilentBobSC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10#1 Worst Site - PC World with more annoying popups than anyone else! We have a winner!
- kcpwnsgman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10the url submitted here is:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127116/article.html
the url in that submiteed story:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127116/article.html#
apparently all you need is a pound sign.... - Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11i was going to bury this for being another goddamn list on the front page, but they're 100% on the money with their myspace writeup.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I love that Microsoft Windows Update is on there...haha, for some reason that's even more humorous than MySpace being #1.
- chrisek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9My fault sorry about wrong topic. Sure its not tech deals, i was a little busy while posting this one and didn't noticed I'm pointing wrong topic. Sorry.
cheers
chrisek - Smwbigboss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9"3. Cartoonnetwok.com
No that's not a typo; it's "typosquatting," where a site owner deliberately registers a misspelling of a popular domain in the hopes of attracting the actual site's traffic. Cartoonnetwok was one of some 5500 deceptive domains owned by John Zuccarini, d/b/a/ "Cupcake Confidential." But that wasn't Zuccarini's only nasty bit of business. FTC investigators visiting one of his sites found their screens filled with 29 new browser windows for instant credit, online psychics, gambling, and porn sites. When they hit the Back button, another 7 windows opened--a technique known as "mousetrapping." Worse, many of Zuccarani's typosquatting sites were aimed at children. In 2003 Zuccarini pleaded guilty to violating the Truth in Domain Names Act and was sentenced to 2.5 years in the federal pen."
They really need to enforce this more often. This guy pretty much got what he deserves. - aclements, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Or for the massive amounts of ads, or the pop ups, or the utterly gargantuan amount of time that it takes any of their pages to load...even over high speed Internet.
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"And in a place where "U are soooooooo hot!!!" passes for wit, MySpace isn't doing much to elevate the level of social discourse."
LMAO! Any website that accurately awards Myspace the worst website on the internet gets an automatic My#1. - pixelwerx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9OMG!!! Ikissyou.org - Borat has a brother!

list? - Tebixan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's not just for typo-squatting. He registered domains very similar to websites children would visit (cartoonnetwok, hotwheells, etc) and directed them to pornographic websites. It was more about exposure of children to inappropriate material than anything else.
- whirlwind12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Who would have guess MySpace is the #1 Worst Site on the Net
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7How could they forget http://www.brazilbrazil.com/ ??
- vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8PC World is Beautiful with AdBlock.
- austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Totally digg, finally someone speaks the truth, MySpace.com is by far the worst website ever!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6What are they talking about? IKissYou.org rules. Without it, there wouldn't be Borat.
- chris4404, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Myspace is responsible for the holocaust.
- GLSmyth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6When I clicked to see the #1 worst site, an advertisement for PC Magazine covered the content of the page. I guess I know who #1 is now.
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -1/+6craigslist is actually useful and was the first big free classified ads site. While it could use some better looks, I like how simple and text-based it is.
- dlogic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5check the ikissyou.org

the guy is a sex maniac, this part is hilarious
//////////
I live in TURKEY -town IZMIR ...( 4 million peoples - near the sea - old history)...
Who is want to come TURKEY I can invitate .....
She can stay my home ........
///////// - zeejay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5GoDaddy is indeed the worst.
"How to make setting up a new web site confusing as all hell, for even the most experienced pro." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Actually they are now using the .NET platform and have mapped all their old coldfusion urls to be processed by .NET so that they wouldn't create a ton of broken links by changing all extensions to .aspx
The site is still complete and total crap and works about half the time. Not too mention the design is disgusting.
For whatever reason the .NET community was trying to use myspace.com as a .NET 2.0 success story. I would hardly call myspace a success story from a programmatic perspective. - caffiend, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5agreed
- krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -2/+6@exobyte: totally agreed. marked as spam
- GIVER, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Where are the AOL homepages?
No digg for inaccurate information. - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"In 2003 Zuccarini pleaded guilty to violating the Truth in Domain Names Act and was sentenced to 2.5 years in the federal pen."
What the *****? There's a law against typosquatting?
What happened to the punishment fitting the crime? This guy's scum, but, come on. People have killed and gotten lighter sentances. - ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4yes (the ones firefox misses)
- No13Baby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I have to agree. The content column is maybe 350 pixels wide. They are no position to judge. They could have fit all of them on one page if they dedicated a little less space to ads.
- torhu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Does adblock stop the popups too?
- caffiend, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6ColdFusion isn't *****. Myspace's code practices, networking and server management are *****.
- cubbieco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3And your point is what exactly?
A link with no comment is called spam. - pgm_01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Spam
It's pink and it's oval

It's made in Chernobyl
Spam - mustache, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I have to digg this for the simple fact that #3 is Cartoonnetwok.com.
I work for the REAL Cartoonnetwork.com and that's just not cool. - ScottBookG4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3MySpace is #1, I'll digg it for that reason alone.
