In my last post I talked about the different lists of wonders that have been compiled. I really do like the list from the New7Wonders. However, based on my love of traveling, I have compiled my own 7 wonders list:
List #1 – Traveler’s Wonders

Eiffel Tower
Colosseum
Great Wall of China
Sydney Opera House
Empire State Building
Christ the Redeemer
Chichen Itza

You’ll notice that several of these are on the New7Wonder’s list. Taj Mahal in india is the honorable mention for this list.

7 wonders of the Ancient World, 7 Wonders of the Medieval World, 7 Wonders of the modern world, The American Society of Civil Engineers’ 7 wonders of the modern world, New7Wonders Foundation’s 7 wonders of the world, USA Today’s New Seven Wonders, Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Seven Wonders of the Underwater World, Seven Wonders of the Industrial World, Travel wonders of the world, Man-made travel wonders, Natural travel wonders (for more info, please see the lists at Wikipedia.)
So …

There are many websites that could be considered a spectacular contribution to the internet. But here are the seven greatest, in my opinion.

This is the top wonder because at times, well, it has actually made me gasp as if I was seeing the aurora borealis. Shock and awe, thats what it is. For instance, recently I used the new “drag and drop” feature in Gmail to add an attachment. It was beautiful. Its strange to realize how “everyday” it is now to do a “street view” of your own house in google maps. Google just makes things that should have existed already.
#2 Wikipedia
The concept of it is great. Now, while we can never accept any article as absolute “truth”, …
