The Nifty Fifty list will change from time-to-time, and will include technical, offbeat, unpublicized, hyped (sometimes over-hyped), cultural, clean, dirty and bland web sites. In other words, all manner of sites.

Categories are selected based on the sites that constitute the Nifty Fifty. The selection process is rigorously scientific, unbiased and totally Nerdly. For more information about the Nerdworld Nifty Fifty Selection Process, please click here.
