Presenting the hottest Pakistani sites for 2001 - SPIDER's Best Of Pakistan On The Internet is our tribute to the local Web community. Rating online sites and services in 31 different categories, SPIDER points to Pakistani hotspots catering to surfers of all ages and interests. We invited our readers to nominate their favorite Pakistani Websites and as the nomination forms started pouring from SPIDER.tm, we realized the breadth of cyberspace we had to cover was too extensive to be cramped in a single issue. So our Best of Pakistan edition extends over two hardissues, August and September 2001.

Best Pakistani Chat and Forums Sites:
What do most people love doing? Why chat of course! There are few people in the world who would mind talking about themselves, life in general, politics, sports or purely gossip. The Internet has made it all the more fun. Need to voice out your opinions or chat? Here's where you should be heading.
Best Pakistani Computing Sites:
What do users want from computing Websites? In a nutshell, regular updates on Net security, tutorials on programming and Web design, and information on IT education in Pakistan. Finding content specific to the Pakistani market is a Herculean task. SPIDER readers nominated some fine sources for computer buffs keen to keep up with local developments. Here is our pick of the lot.
Best Pakistani Educational Institution Sites:

Is Pakistan in the picture or not? Easy, it is very much in the picture, here is what SPIDER found out.
Best Pakistani Entertainment Sites:
After TV, the Net is the next best thing to turn to for the best of what the industry has to offer. SPIDER brings you some of the best sites and sounds, so hang on for the ride.
Best Pakistani Family Sites:
Pakistanis have managed to cover almost all aspects of cyberspace. One category that remains largely elusive to the Web marketers is family. We pick out potential Websites where all members can have fun.
Best Pakistani Food Sites:
There are a host of recipe guides and food portals to choose from but if you're dreaming to click for a pizza, better not hold your breath as yet. Try experimenting with these.
Best Pakistani Gaming Sites:
The gaming scene in Pakistan is quite different from that in most modern countries. This field has been quite unpopular amongst the adult and programming section, and thus quality efforts have failed to take off. Which is why we handpicked a few gems for the gamers out there.
Best Pakistani Government Sites:
As part of the plugging campaign, a number of governmental Websites offer information about the administration. Lets take a walk through the government's alley in cyberspace for a change and review the best.
Best Pakistani Greeting Sites:
E-greetings. Bane or boon? These are one of the smartest online services. The ones that grabbed SPIDER voter attention this time around are as follows.
Best Pakistani ISP and Web Company Sites:
Best Pakistani Jobs and Career Sites:
We are all aware of job Websites like Monster.com, Hotjobs.com and Flipdog.com. What is interesting is that even in Pakistan, people are fast turning to the Net to find their dream job/employee. You will find sites sprouting up every day, all of them claiming to be the first of their kind. Try some of these.
Best Pakistani Non-profit Sites:
The presence of a surprising large number of non-profit Websites from Pakistan convinced us to include this category in our pick of the best for 2001.
Best Pakistani Portals and Directories:
Internet Portals in Pakistan are a fairly new concept. Given their brief history in the country, it is no surprise that in most cases, the word portal is wrongly misused for sites that are Web directories. We list out the best sites in both categories.
Best Pakistani Search Options:
One reason why the average Pakistani surfer does not venture beyond directories like Dmoz.org and Yahoo! is because they claim they do not know of any local alternatives. Here is our choicest selection of Web directories whose search options offer relevant, if not entirely helpful, results.
