The Guardian has released its list of the 100 most essential websites of 2009. There weren’t many suprises; Twitter, IMDb, Digg, Flickr, Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, YouTube, Blogger and WordPress were on the list, among many similar others. Perez Hilton also made it, as well as old time favorite Dilbert, Passive Aggressive Notes, and Club Penguin, a “minigame-tastic virtual world for youngkids.” Huh. But Lolcats… really? That’s been essential to 2009? I don’t really understand the Lolcats phenomenon. I’ll look at a cute cat any day, but I don’t need to read captions in grammatically incorrect terms that extrapolate some bizarre motive for the cat’s actions/look in the photo.
