Top Twenty


The more we learn about Tripod members, the more we're amazed by their diversity, their creativity, the comments they make in our surveys, and their home pages. It is sort of like sitting at a table at a friend's wedding and discovering that your table-mates each have fascinating careers or interests, and suddenly the whole event becomes much more fun!

To nominate a page for consideration, please send mail to [email protected] with the URL of the Tripod member page. Currently, only Tripod Member Pages are eligible for the Tripod Top Twenty.

Here are some that the Tripod Web Page Jury have selected as particularly refreshing. We'll be updating this list regularly as we discover more good pages. Jury selections are not listed in any particular order.

These are -- as we often remind ourselves -- solely the work of individual members, and not the work or responsibility of Tripod.

Please feel free to check out the last Tripod Top Twenty, as well as Editor's Choice, a set of member pages with particular relevance to Tripod's sections.
