50 Best Websites 2008
Some are as useful as a GPS device, others aren't that useful but give you something to do when you had nothing planned for the day. Put them all together and they become TIME.com's 2008 picks for the best the Web has to offer
ConcreteLoop.com
You may not notice just how white celebrity-gossip sites like TMZ and PerezHilton really are until you check out ConcreteLoop. Devoted to black celebrities, it regularly features A-listers like Rihanna, Usher, Denzel Washington and Alicia Keys. In addition to the usual paparazzi shots and rumors, you'll find posts on fashion and politics, as well as tons of comments from ConcreteLoop's audience of nearly a million regular readers. We also like Bossip for its lower-brow appeal and Nah Right for its choice video clips.
