Web Spy: AnyClip

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, TFLN…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like Live Mocha, ThredUP, and Blah Therapy) and more showing up every day!
