**The Daily Tech Top 10: My Favorite Websites of All Time**

Every year, I come out with my top 100 websites that have made a significant impact on me since 2012. This year, I'm narrowing it down to my top 10 favorite websites of all time, which is a daunting task considering the sheer number of amazing sites out there. However, this list represents the crème de la crème of the best websites I've ever discovered, making up only 0.1% of my total favorites.

**Uncrate: The Ultimate Product Filter**

My top choice for one of the most underrated websites is Uncrate. Since its inception in 2012, Uncrate has been filtering the world's coolest stuff for me, categorizing it into sections like Gear, Style, and Tech. This website is a treasure trove of amazing products that I can quickly browse to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and must-haves.

**Twisted Sifter: The Go-To Platform for Visually Stunning Content**

Next on my list is Twisted Sifter, which showcases the coolest and most interesting photos from around the world. This website stands out from the rest as it curates a unique collection of visually stunning content that I simply can't get enough of. If you're looking for something to catch your attention, look no further than Twisted Sifter.

**The Shirt Report: A Must-Read Every Week**

Another essential site on my list is The Shirt Report. This website has been publishing an in-depth analysis of the latest shirt designs every week since its inception, making it a go-to resource for fashion enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. I've always appreciated the detailed analysis and insightful commentary provided by The Shirt Report, which makes it an indispensable part of my weekly routine.

**SoulPancake: Exploring Life's Big Questions**

In 2013, I discovered SoulPancake, a unique website created by none other than Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute from The Office. This site tackles big questions and topics in creative ways, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to explore life's deeper meaning and purpose. From kid-friendly content to thought-provoking articles, SoulPancake has something for everyone.

**The Art of Manliness: Practical Advice for the Modern Man**

In 2013, I stumbled upon The Art of Manliness, a website that provides practical advice and guidance for modern men. This site stands out from the crowd due to its unique approach, focusing on topics like relationships, career development, and personal growth, without sacrificing any of its masculine edge.

**Medium: A Platform for Independent Voices**

Launched in 2014 by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Medium quickly became one of my favorite websites. This platform allows independent voices to share their perspectives on various topics, including news, TV, film, design, and more. I appreciate the unique nature of Medium, which offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream media outlets.

**Daring Fireball: John Gruber's Tech Analysis**

In 2014, I discovered Daring Fireball, a blog written by none other than tech enthusiast John Gruber. This website has been my go-to resource for in-depth analysis on Apple products and technology trends. Gruber's writing style is concise yet insightful, cutting through the noise to provide meaningful insights that few others can match.

**Product Hunt: The Ultimate Daily News Source**

In 2015, I started following Product Hunt, a site that aggregates the latest product launches from startups and tech companies. This website has become my daily source of news on new products and innovations in the tech world, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to stay informed.

**Box: A Data-Driven Approach to News**

Another standout website on my list is Box, which takes a data-driven approach to news reporting. Unlike traditional outlets that often rely on opinion pieces and sensational headlines, Box provides well-researched, fact-based articles on current events. This site has become an indispensable resource for me, offering a more nuanced understanding of the world we live in.

**Upvoted: The Best of Reddit's Content**

In 2016, I discovered Upvoted, a website that aggregates the best content from Reddit. While I may not be a fan of Reddit itself (its format can feel cluttered and overwhelming), Upvoted brings together the most engaging, insightful, and entertaining content in one convenient place. This site is perfect for anyone looking to catch up on the latest discussions and ideas from the wider Reddit community.

**The & Newsletter: A Must-Read for Entrepreneurs**

Finally, I'd like to mention The &, a newsletter that's become an essential resource for entrepreneurs and startup enthusiasts alike. While technically not a website in the classical sense (it's primarily a newsletter), The & archive is available online, making it a great resource for those looking to learn from successful entrepreneurs and stay informed about the latest trends in startups.

That concludes my list of top 10 favorite websites of all time! Each one has played a significant role in shaping my perspective on various topics and industries.
