Back in 1996, we featured our first-ever Yahoo! Picks of the Year. Eight years later, we're still scouring the Internet for fresh, fun, or funky sites to spotlight every day. Over the course of the year, we've featured hundreds of sites, and we think the very best deserve another look. From fascinating photos to sophomoric stunts to intriguing innovations, these sites are as an eclectic a mix as the Web itself. Selected by the Yahoo! Picks editors, Yahoo! Picks of 2004 represent our favorite 25 sites of the year.
