If due to something happening to the Internet, you could only visit 10 sites...

In My Humble Opinion
1

…what would they be? The only restrictions are that search engines don’t count, for obvious reasons, and you can’t follow any link that doesn’t lead to a site on your list. Feel free to choose by whatever personal criteria you wish, however, be careful, because you’ll be at these sites for quite a while…

My list would be…

  1. The SDMB
  2. Fanfiction.net
    3)Neopets.com
    4)The Straight Dope
    5)Snopes
    6)Okashina Okashi
    7)Arcana
    8)Megatokyo
    9)FlashFlash Revolution
    10)Homestarrunner.com

  6. games.swirve.com/utopia
  7. promo.net/pg/ (Project Gutenberg)
  8. www.vega.org.uk/ - Assuming they continue updating the site.

Hmm, good question. Really makes you think about your priorities. In no particular order:

  1. sdmb.com
  2. my e-mail
  3. imdb.com (can’t live without movie/tv trivia)
  4. televisionwithoutpity.com (in case I miss my favourite shows)
  5. my public library website (I can request books on-line!)
  6. miss manners (even without the World Wide Web, we should all still be polite!)
  7. msn.com fashion police (but that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh at others)
  8. my bank website
  9. epicurious.com (we still gotta eat, you know?)
  10. theweathernetwork.com ('cause looking outside at the weather just doesn’t cut it all the time)

Hopefully (in this theoretical situation) my husband would get his own 10 websites, so that we could double our viewing pleasure. :slight_smile:

But a good porn addict will have enough of the stuff stored away on hard drives and CDs to survive any internet crash. :smiley:

I presume we’re not including work-related sites? Otherwise all 10 would be the sites I need to do my research (journals, software sites and data archives.)

For non-work related sites:

  1. Straight Dope
  2. Google Groups (Usenet archive)
  3. Amazon
  4. CNET (mostly for the shareware archive)
  5. Yahoo Japan (includes auctions, e-mail, weather and train timetables)
  6. CNN
  7. NPR
  8. an online bike shop
  9. one of the Palm software archives (Palmgear, TUCOWS, etc)
  10. Mapfan (map of Japan, like Mapquest)
