Web discovery is a bit of a hit and miss activity. Our Nifty Websites Collection is a handy way to discover new websites and resources which are curated into a list. Discovery tools like StumbleUpon make it easy to find websites at random. Those who want a bit more control over the websites they discover have the Websites Like option.

Web Alternatives

The Websites Like difference is that users determine the outcome of the discovery, be it ever so slightly. Users enter a website URL or keyword to have Websites Like return results which are similar in topic to the original search argument.

The alternatives are surprisingly accurate. With anywhere up to 50 different alternatives, there is quite a bit of content to peruse. The most relevant websites are depicted first and the results get gradually more broad further down the list.

Beyond Alternatives

For some results, Websites Like offers Site Categories which label the user input and offer an additional method of discovering alternative websites. The category links are extremely broad and don’t match very well with the original URL input by the user, but do offer alternatives that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

Final Thoughts

Websites Like is a neat tool to have available when you really want to find more content similar to what you’ve seen elsewhere on the web. It’s effectiveness is debatable, but we find the results to be fairly accurate. Websites Like is still adding websites to their database and unfortunately that means alternatives are likely to be incomplete until their library is adequately expanded.

A word of caution about using Websites Like. Some results are intended for mature audiences and as of now there is no way to filter the content. Searches which may seem innocent at the time could return some unexpected results.
