My Favorite Websites:
Twitter.com
Yahoo.com
Youtube.com
Google.com
Facebook.com
These websites are really neat and organized. Their color schemes go together and aren't random colors. I keep going to the sites because they are entertaining and I can use email and communicate with others. They also present a lot of information. The main thing that these sites do is keeping it simple.
