Alexa my Website Browser
Ok, so a web browser is what you look at web sites with and Alexa is used to browse a list of web sites. It’s a great starting point to find out which sites are popular. Unfortunately, what I find one day just isn’t there a few weeks later. If you find something good, bookmark it, otherwise you might not find it again.
I wish Alexa would get rid of it’s archaic way of listing sites by category subjects alone. Instead, it’d be nice to see something that works along the lines of Apple’s garageband which has multiple tags that you can turn on and off. It’d make looking through the categories much easier. You’d no longer have to drill down inside each category so see the sub-categories within.
From MIT’s Haystack Group comes a clever javascript implementation called Exhibit that might do the trick. Unfortunately, Exhibit is limited to small data sets, but it should be enough to browse Alexa’s web site subject categories.
