How many of the top ten sites have you been to?

Show_Biz · November 13, 2001, 3:06am

I ran into this list of most popular sites and counted how many I’d been to.
I’ve been to just 10. Never heard of most of the rest.

Kayeby · November 13, 2001, 3:16am

I’ve been to eight.

Burlington Public Library???

BURLINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY???

Geobabe · November 13, 2001, 3:33am

Some of those are banner ad providers, like akamai.net, so you’ve probably “visited” those sites without realizing it.

don_t_ask · November 13, 2001, 3:38am

Yahoo, Google and CNN only.

Dragon_Phoenix · November 13, 2001, 3:46am

The three above plus Geocities. And none in the 11-25 range.

Biggirl · November 13, 2001, 4:04am

Judging from the highlighted links [list][li]msn.com[]Yahoo.com[]Google.com-- why isn’t this one number one?[]Geocities.com-- isn’t this the same as Yahoo?[]CNN.com.[/li]
I’m so boring.

Dark_Lord_Davidson · November 13, 2001, 5:23am

Yahoo, AOL, and Google.
And why isn’t Amazon there??

I think the Burlington Public Library must have hired some goons and took someone’s spot.

Little_Nemo · November 13, 2001, 5:39am

The Burlington Public Library site offers an internet search engine. Maybe it’s world famous in Canada.

ITR_champion · November 13, 2001, 10:44am

Eleven that I know of. MSN is the home page of computers at school, but I never read it.

Sweet_Sota_Girl · November 13, 2001, 12:04pm

Only nine. I’m just not living up to my internet junkie personality.

Crusoe · November 13, 2001, 12:11pm

MSN is bigger than Google probably because people have their own search engine habits (a lot I know stick to AllTheWeb or AltaVista), and because MSN is the default log-out page for Hotmail users. There’s a few million guaranteed hits right there.

I assume Yahoo means the directory portal and GeoCities the homepage site. I doubt they’d be treated as the same site regardless of who owns them.

Gartog · November 13, 2001, 12:46pm

15 woot!

Although many only once.

scotth · November 13, 2001, 1:04pm

All except:

12 180Solutions.com
13 Iwin.com
15 Atdmt.com
16 InternetFuel.com
20 247Media.com
23 bpl.on.ca

I guess that leaves 19

RealityChuck · November 13, 2001, 4:11pm

Maybe about 14. Of course, a few of those I’ve only gone to a couple times (About.com’s listing shows that advertising works, since it is by far the worse search engine on the web).

i’m eight-tastic!

blur · November 13, 2001, 9:11pm

I’ve been to twelve sites on the list.

Nefarious_Chipmunk · November 13, 2001, 10:24pm

Wow, I have been to 17 of those. I wouldn’t have guessed that much. Sigh, I guess that I am more mainstream then I thought;)
