Top 5 interesting websites
By Sergio VaqueraReporter, The VOICE
The internet is a great resource. It's also where a lot of people go when they're bored. Here are my top five websites most people don't know about. There are interesting and some are even beneficial to others, so check them out.
1. Pandora – This is a great site for music lovers. It's free and all you have to do is search an artist or song and it brings you not only what you asked for but also similar artists. This is great for discovering new artists and also learning a bit about the music.

2. Free Rice – Here is a website you can feel good about visiting. Free rice challenges you with vocabulary quizzes. When the right answer is selected it donates 10 grains of rice to the U.N. World Food Program. Help feed the hungry and learn some new words; it's a win-win situation.

3. Picnik – Have some photographs that need editing? Photoshop can be hard to use for beginners so this website is perfect for those looking to make their images great. This is a free, easy to use site that allows you to edit photos like a professional. If you're looking for something a little more advanced you can upgrade to the premium package for a fee of course.

4. ffffound – If you want to kill some time, this is the site to visit. It brings photographs from different websites and posts them here. It's rare to find any photograph that isn't beautiful, interesting or weird. It also links you back to the original site.

5. Howcast – This site provides "how-to" videos for just about anything. While being very informative and efficient it also throws in a bit of humor. Even if it's something you don't care much about, it's fun to watch how it's done.
