World's largest webpage and other incredibly cool sites
When I was in Grade 5, I discovered large numbers. I had always loved numbers, and I knew by then that there were numbers larger than 1 trillion, but I could only guess that their names. (As it turns out, I happened to be right.) This webpage, the world's largest, is 9 quadrillion by 9 quadrillion pixels. There are a number of ways to conceive of how big it is, although apparently you need Firefox to really appreciate it. Go ahead, give it a try.
Ever wonder how popular some words are, and how they might be over/underused? Wonder no more. This site tells you just how common an English word is in an visually appealing way.
Possibly the most "relevant" of the three pages featured in this post is Ten by Ten, an aggregate news source with a twist. It tells you what we are all thnking about in another visually appealing manner. In fact, it's brilliant when you read how they do it.
