Have you ever wanted to find a site that is similar to another site? For example, perhaps you want to share a video that’s too long for YouTube. Your first impulse is to use Google, but this can yield a bunch of sites that aren’t useful unless you use the right search terms. Here are two sites that are designed to find you similar sites—interestingly, with similar names:
- Similar-Site. It yields this result for its search for sites that are similar to YouTube. (Firefox plugin)
- Similar Sites. It yields this result for sites that are similar to YouTube. (Firefox plugin)
By the way, here are the results of both sites for substitutions for Google: Similar-Site and Similar Sites.
As a small business owner, you can use these sites to find alternate suppliers of products and services as well as your competition. As a venture capitalist, you can use them when entrepreneurs tell you that they that have a “unique product that no one else is making.” As a consumer, you can use them when you’re fed up with the site that you currently use.
