The United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Library of Congress sites were the only federal sites out of several dozen that made the top 1,001 list to receive the "Nettie," which honored "the best of the best."

While the magazine does not explain its judging criteria and does not give a numerical ranking of the sites, it did organize them into categories of links on its web site.

The National Performance Review site oddly joined the Marines, the Air Force, and the Army in the magazine's top military sites. A commercially-run Navy Jobs site beat out the official Navy site, which failed to make the top 1,001 cut.

The U.S. House of Representatives Web site made the magazine's list of useful federal sites. The U.S. Senate's site did not.

Other federal Web sites in the top 1,001 include:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
CIA
FBI
Fedworld
IRS
NASA Kennedy Space Center
White House
