  1. Facebook

    The world's most popular social networking web site, Facebook enables users to connect with friends and family by sharing status updates, personal photos and other items of interest. Founder Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook in 2004 while a student at Harvard, designing the site as a means for other university students to communicate and to socialize online. The idea quickly spread from there and has become a global phenomenon, with more than 160 million users in the United States alone. (Source: Houston Cronicle)

  2. Vimeo

    Vimeo.com is a unique and widely popular video-sharing site. The site maintains a usual clean "web 2.0" CSS layout and is very simple looking from a U.I. standpoint. Vimeo was created by Connected Ventures, LLC based in Manhattan and Portland for the personal enjoyment and entertainment of the users. Vimeo came into existence in November 2004. Visitors can upload video to share with people and friends via a contact's list.

    One of the better features of Vimeo is that it makes most videos easily accessible. All videos are converted to Quicktime, making them easy to view. Vimeo supports embedding and video downloads, and allows user-commenting on each video page. Comments on videos are kept very clean and orderly. Users are required to register before uploading the contents. Registered users may also create a profile and upload small pictures. (Source: Reelseo.com)

  3. Open StreetMap

    Open StreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Two major driving forces behind the establishment and growth of OSM have been restrictions on use or availability of map information across much of the world and the advent of inexpensive portable satellite navigation devices.

    Created by Steve Coast in the UK in 2004, it was inspired by the success of Wikipedia and the preponderance of proprietary map data in the UK and elsewhere. Since then, it has grown to over 1.6 million registered users, who can collect data using manual survey, GPS devices, aerial photography, and other free sources. The site is supported by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a non-profit organization registered in England.

  7. Google Books

    The Publisher Program was first known as 'Google Print' when it was introduced at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2004. The Google Books Library Project, which scans works in the collections library partners and adds them to the digital inventory, was announced in December 2004.
    The Google Books initiative has been hailed for its potential to offer unprecedented access to what may become the largest online body of human knowledge and promoting the democratization of knowledge. But it has also been criticized for potential copyright violations, and lack of editing to correct the many errors introduced into the scanned texts by the OCR process.
    As of October 2015, the number of scanned book titles was over 25 million, but the scanning process has slowed down in American academic libraries. Google estimated in 2010 that there were about 130 million distinct titles in the world, and stated that it intended to scan all of them by the end of the 2000s.
