Scientific American Web Awards 2003
from the best-of-the-web? dept
Roland Piquepaille writes "This is the third year that Scientific American gives these awards. This is a collection of 50 sites which have something really neat to offer: science. "It's a jungle out there. With more than three billion Web pages to sift through, finding great science sites is harder than ever. The good news is the editors at Scientific American have once again trawled the Internet for the best the Web has to offer. We think our list of winners has something for everyone." These 50 sites are classified in ten categories, like anthropology & paleontology or astronomy & astrophysics. In my blog, you'll discover my personal four favorite sites, including a great one featuring optical illusions." These types of lists are often fun, though you see them more rarely these days.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
