“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 11
Thank you, we have a winner – this Contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader John!
On the Eleventh Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Realmac Software bundle featuring your very own copies of RapidWeaver and LittleSnapper !
RapidWeaver is so full of awesomeness, you should really check out all its features.
First up is RapidWeaver, the web design app that will have you looking like a pro in no time, or, if you already are a pro, having you looking pretty much the same, but with more free time. With 40 built-in templates, 10 page types, and tons of plug-ins, you’ll be cranking out Photo albums from your iPhoto library, blogs, flash slideshows, podcasts and more in a matter of minutes, and the sites not only won’t suck, they’ll actually look like you knew what you were doing! RapidWeaver was built for Leopard and has a slick interface and tons of cool features like built-in Google Analytics support, favicon creation, one-click publishing (even to MobileMe), and a robust user community of over 23,000 members and growing. Even if you don’t win you should download the free 30 day trial here and check it out, it really is quite slick.
Above: “HULK SMASH!” LittleSnapper is a screengrab app on Steroids, without the roid rage and acne!
Next we have LittleSnapper. Don’t let the name fool you, LittleSnapper is big on features, and if you are looking for a better way to grab snapshots of webpages, your desktop, or pretty much anything, odds are LittleSnapper has got you covered. LittleSnapper not only lets you snap pages or page elements (sort of like Safari’s webclips) but it also allows you to build a library of your snaps for latter viewing or editing. You can make non-destructive annotations, share snaps with friends and clients via Flickr or FTP. One of my personal favorite features of LittleSnapper is it can take a shot of an entire webpage, even parts that are off the screen, so I no longer have to do stitching in Photoshop.
To enter: Since both RapidWeaver and LittleSnapper are all about creating and saving amazing web pages, simply tell us what the 2ND best website in the world is (We’ll assume Macenstein.com is number one). Yes, we know we’re opening ourselves to your shameless self-promotion, but whatever. Plug away. Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)

CNet. done.

Obviously the best website is my own: http://mactipper.com/ 😀
http://www.criterion.com/
consumerist.com
The best website (besides Macenstein) is Wiktionary. They have the best definitions on the internet, with awesome linked etymologies. My favourite are the extensive IPA pronunciations for foreign languages.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page
MacSoda.com by far.
wikipedia
Unfortunately, the second best website cannot be mentioned, and come to think of it, neither can the third best. So, the fourth, and that just so happens to be http://twitter.com
craigslist.org
/. for all your anti-M$ news!
xkcd.
the 2nd best website is http://www.thinkgeek.com. Use this online shop and the Apple (Online) Store and you’re good to go.
The world’s second-best website is clearly Apple.com. It’s where you can go if you can’t afford to get a Mac and want to gawk at how pretty they are, or see how much more you need. 🙂
http://conceitedsoftware.com is definitely the 2nd best website. Get great Mac and iPhone software there.
apple.com/getamac/ads
I love those ads 🙂
whats with these homies dissing my girl?
Google rocks
http://hackaday.com/
apple.com
Not to sound like a fanboy or whatever, I think http://www.apple.com is a very well designed site, by it’s simplicity and design.
digg.com
i.gigengack.nl … sorry 😉
Well, 2nd best clearly has to be Son of Macenstein, right?
http://www.google.com, since it’s like a launchpad to the rest of the web 🙂

This site pretty much stays up the whole day.

I just discovered this site after reading about Treemaps in a book about UI. It allows me to visually determine the most popular topics at a quick glance and then go on to my usual RSS feeds.
I guess the box that says “Website” does nothing. I never used it before obviously. So since I can’t edit my post, my chosen website was: google.com/reader
ill have to say joystiq, just because im a nerd haha
