How 20 popular websites looked when they launched. Remember the old Facebook/MySpace?
Personification of the Internet. I wonder what BuzzFeed would look like?

Smashing Magazine lists their six steps to making a successful website.
Celebrity Buzz Then sign up for her new and completely random lifestyle website, Goop. Guidance you’ll get from Gwyneth includes: “Cook a meal for someone you love, go to a city you’ve never been to, learn something new, don’t be lazy.” Wait - so if we follow these completely uninspirational tips, we might have a chance to makeout with Brad Pitt or Chris Martin? No f’ing way!
Culture Buzz A new website lets couples crowdsource their arguments. The fighting couple writes up “her side” and “his side” descriptions of their problem, and the anonymous crowds can vote on who’s right. Solving other people’s problems is both easy and fun!
Celebrity Buzz Chickipedia is the wiki of hot ladies. Search through Chickipedia’s archive (which exceeds 4,500 women) for news, body measurements, bios, images, and videos of your favorite females.
Business Buzz With a string of recent high-profile resignations at Yahoo, now’s the time to submit a résumé! Executives have been quitting in droves — most recently, the founders of Flickr and Delicious both resigned. Start looking for your job here.
Style Buzz Invite-Only shopping sites promise a “velvet rope” experience and exclusive deals. Is this a backlash to the egalitarian H&M ‘fashion for the masses’ movement? Can the perception of exclusivity actually increase sales?
Tech Buzz The first official convention celebrating Internet memes will take place at Harvard University, where hundreds of web nerds will actually hear each other LOL. Buzzfeed won’t be in attendance, but we can only hope there’s a party DJ on hand to awkwardly beckon Tron Guy to the dance floor.
Tech Buzz Spurred by the success of Stuff White People Like, a hoard of imitators has sprung up. There are a number in the running for best mock site, but our favorite so far is the genre-bending Stuff Nobody Likes.
