The 50 Best Websites of 2011

For almost four decades, HBO (a sister company of TIME in Time Warner) has used underground cables to deliver movies, sports and original shows to American homes. Now it's streaming much of its programming to your browser — and iPhone, iPad or Android phone — courtesy of HBO GO. People who subscribe to HBO via cable or satellite get unlimited, on-demand access to every episode of shows past (The Sopranos) and present (Game of Thrones), plus boxing matches, made-for-HBO documentaries and about 250 feature films. It's more HBO than ever, available in more places than ever.
