Internet, that little big thing out there virtually on its own. No frills, good enough thrills, bit of the bizarre, wholly functional, a treasure trove of the useful as well as the trivial. The elegant world wide web opened its arms for this retarded soul not too far back; and I haven't let my grip slip one tiny bit since. Elegant doesn't perfectly define the beauty of the web; I had to use the word as small tributes to the people who are part of the big cake, people who made this world a possibility.
Technologically laid-back are most of the guys from my part of the land; at least I don't want to go generic but then that's what I am and what people around me are. Never a quick learner, fiddling is a specialty; and then when you have so big a fish to fiddle, you never get done with it.
And being no fundamental geek of the intricate stuff, I now get onto explaining what I look for in a website. A bit laughable, but simply it is me who opines here. And the very first thing I look for is 'looks'. Content can be a literary gem or a big scandalous bust, but the first things that your eyes see aren't the words of a content, but rather the way they are presented to the first timer.
Tad like a girl with chic fashion taste, or a car with glitzy exteriors. A posh, suave website means that you're surfing on waters where you've been taken good care of. Half the battle is won the moment we enter a site; after all someone rightly said, "First impressions are key, if you give me a bad first impression I probably will have that idea of you forever honestly."
Stand out in millions out there? If the concerned bit is about the internet, then I'm pretty sure that there aren't any millions out there but the one and only internet. And if it concerns a particular website in an ocean that is the internet, my vote goes to the popular, a-bit-too-mainstream Facebook.com.
Facebook.com might be the best social platform there has ever been on the web; but there ends the platitudes. I totally, absolutely love the website for many reasons; perhaps the odd one is it being one of the fastest websites to load its homepage however weak or ill-responsive the connectivity is. Comfortable would be understating; I never felt a tiny hiccup when rolling through news-feeds or sharing links and even pinging mates.
A particularly good thing about Facebook.com is its ocean of content, wrapped beautifully in a brilliantine cotton wool. Utility might be one downside; you normally don't do useful things over there. But then, its looks, simplicity, ease of access and high functionality and content overflow picks up the grades. And when you have friends along with you there, things always get fun.
