After exploring the Web for quite a long time I gathered a list of online entertainment sites which are listed by categories and also the reason why they were chosen. To select this sites I was looking for stickiness and good content, and how the entertaining side of the page improved the way an idea, or product was promoted and how this site would encourage me to come back later.
