Top 10 Web Moments of 2005

In December 1990 there was a single web site on the Internet, and by the end of 1991 that figured had jumped to ten. Today there are millions of sites and billions of pages, and the web is a universe unto itself. It's impossible for any one person to keep track of even one percent of the interesting stuff happening on the web, but still we try until our favorites folders are overflowing, our social bookmark sites crash, and our inboxes choke on forwarded links. Occasionally, though, all of that collective interest organizes itself into something more orderly and, for a moment, it seems like everyone on the web is thinking about the same thing. Below are ten moments from the past year that the people who make the web found coolest, most interesting, funniest, and most throught-provoking.

10. Numa Numa Dance

Numa Numa DanceWhat do you get when you combine a Romanian chart-topper, an American teenager, and a webcam? The Numa Numa Dance.

Survival of New Orleans blog

neworleansblog The Interdictor is a LiveJournal blog from New Orleans. How? You'll have to read the saga of these guys to find out. It is fascinating, disturbing, and in some ways historic. Not to mention a feat of pure gumption. Outpost Crystal is apparently still up and running (there's even a webcam), and blogging live to the world what's really going on in New Orleans. They apparently host SomethingAwful.com. Yeah, it's offline as of right now. Also, the pics page is down, so don't bother. Try not to IM the last few guys there, they are, uh, a little busy. Feeding the generators has been their top priority (well, after water and food and keeping safe), and they're just trying to stay online to keep the news coming out. Citizen journalism at its best, gripping, gritty, and raw. Check it out, but don't hammer it all day, OK?

And don't forget to donate some money to the Red Cross.
