Worst 25 Web Sites

PC World rates these. I haven't heard of most of these, but here are a few highlights:

20. Hotmail.com

16. Microsoft Windows Update
15. Neuticles.com

13. Whitehouse.com
12. The Dancing Baby

9. Hamsterdance.com
8. BonziBuddy

1. MySpace.com

Oh my god, I'm so glad this made it. A number of people have agreed with me that this is one of the ugliest sites on the Internet, despite being one of the most visited. PC World says "Graphically, many MySpace pages look like a teenager's bedroom after a tornado--a swirl of clashing backgrounds, boxes stacked inside other boxes, massive photos, and sonic disturbance. Try loading a few of those pages at once and watch what happens to your CPU. Watch out for spyware, too, since it turns out that MySpace has become a popular distribution vector for drive-by downloads and other exploits. And in a place where "U are soooooooo hot!!!" passes for wit, MySpace isn't doing much to elevate the level of social discourse." Thank you!
