Rank your favorite website in 5 categories:
<Best Social Network>
<Best Gaming Portal>
<Best Web 2.0 Site>
<Best Prank Site>
<Best Overall Hangout>
My vote:
Best Social Network: The Casual Collective
These guys have it ALL. They are the biggest drain on my productivity to date; I check the Casual Collective more often than I do my email. It's still a fledgeling site, so there aren't too many trolls or noobs, but it's a great place to relax, post in the forum, or play the games.
Best Gaming Portal: The Casual Collective
Think Kongregate meets Facebook. These games are specially designed by the site's creators (who also made smash hit Desktop Tower Defense), and therefore come out a little slowly (there are currently less than 10 games on the site) but that doesn't stop them from being many of the best flash games that I've ever played. They're designed to be 'social': You MEET people on this site. You make friends. And they're damn fun too.
Best Web 2.0 Site: Aviary
Casual Collective scores second on this one, but I thought it would be unfair to nominate it for every f'king category. Aviary is pretty much unprecedented- a set of online image editors with all the power of Photoshop. Create stunning images in the website's Photoshop competitor, Phoenix:
Or generate them with a node-based creation approach in Peacock.
Best Prank Site:
Hands down winner is the good old rickroll.
Second place: YouAreAnIdiot.Org
(Better than rickrolling but only works on certain computers.)
3rd place: Rickroll programs.

Favorite All-Around Hangout: The Casual Collective
Really, what did you expect me to say? This is the ultimate productivity timesink.
