Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.

What's the best way to find the top sites based on a certain topic/category/interest? For example if I want to find the top few Apple sites that contain news/articles/reviews etc, can I find these in a list somewhere? This could be based on site traffic but possibly also user-curated. Alexa is too general. Google search is too detailed.

This is a pretty good list I just came across:

What are the most intellectually stimulating websites you know of?

I came across this site today and it's more what I was looking for - http://www.allmyfaves.com It has many different categories to browse. Anyone know of any other similar ones?

actually it's part of your list! LOL –  MorganTiley Jul 17 '12 at 19:35

Have you used StumbleUpon? It’s a really nice website that allows users to randomly browse/stumble upon websites on a particular topic/interest/area. Just sign up, add your interests and start stumbling! It has a large user base and the content is always fresh!

I've used SU for years (although not so much with Chrome due to poor toolbar support). It's great but more random than what I was looking for. See my answer for more what I was looking for. Thanks :) –  MorganTiley Jul 17 '12 at 19:22
