The Internet is what you make it. It’s a vast space with millions of sites and projects to discover—each uniquely their own. They can be helpful and offer resources or a good website can send you down a rabbit hole of discovery. There’s a lot to explore in the ether, so we’re starting off your search. We’ve put together a couple of the weirdest and most experimental sites below, all shortlisted during the 28th Annual Webby Awards. Whether it’s a Kenny Loggins song generator or a website to improve your relationships, they’re proof of just how wonderfully weird the Internet is.
