Let’s just throw it out there. I’m on the computer all the time. Luckily the vast majority of the time I’m on the computer I’m also enjoying connectivity to these here Internet pipes. I have a startup routine that I will get my computer all setup and start Firefox and a variety of my tabs will open. Some of these tabs are ongoing applications like my various webmail accounts, but others are merely there for start-up as a welcome to my day. One of those tabs is my Startlike.com page for The Great Outdoors.

My Startlike - The Great Outdoors homepage

Every morning I’m greeted with a beautiful photo of the great outdoors.

With my family’s enjoyment of camping, this continues to keep me in the mood of enjoying the earth around me whenever possible.

The webpage is very helpful with resources too though. It’s well designed and you can customize it to depict your own favorite scenes instead of the great outdoors. Scenes like: golfing (also beautiful), diving, space, exotic escapes and skiing.

As you can see from my screen shot, there are a few different areas I’d like to highlight on the site.

1. Various boxes on the photo are active. You can hover your mouse over the box and read information about the photo or other related resources.
2. Social networking tools are built in to visit sites like Facebook, share links, join discussions about the photo and share your own photos.
3. An easy Google search is available on the page that allows you to search a variety of Google resources quickly.
4. An option to change your preferred photo theme as I share previously.

If you’ve been looking for a way to freshen up your start page on your browser and want to include some helpful tools and resources at the same time, give Startlike a try.

Part of uncovering great and interesting sites is to take advantage of finding them no matter where they come from on the web right?

PC Magazine has an article where they are highlighting The Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites.

The editors have broken down their list into the following categories:

• Apps and Services
• Fun and Games
• Health and Science
• Info, Search, and Reference
• Lifestyle
• Money and Real Estate
• Music
• News
• Photo
• Shopping
• Social Networking
• Technology
• Travel and Maps

Every single category is loaded with great, helpful and interesting websites. I’d love to hear what some of your favorites are in each category. Which ones are you using? Which ones should I be immediately saving to my list of bookmarks for future and repeated use?

One thing I’ve been looking for on the article though is a link to a zip file of all the sites that you can quickly load into your favorites. They used to do that on previous articles didn’t they? Or was that PC World’s version of their lists?

Uncover an undiscovered website of your own with PC Magazine.

UPDATE: Here’s the link to download the ZIP file with all the sites.
