My list for work is completely different than my personal list. I doubt I could effectively do my job if I were limited to 10 sites. My personal list, below, doesn’t consist of 10 sites now, so I’d have no problem staying within the limit. SDMB NPR YouTube Gmail NHK News MySoju Amazon ---

SDMB, but only if I could post a “Most of my internet is down, can someone google this for me?” thread about 10 times per day without getting banned… Does picking [google.com](http://google.com) really get me gmail/maps/calendar/docs/reader for the price of one website? That’s a hell of a deal. And since Google Inc. owns youtube, maybe it’s only a matter of time before picking google would include youtube as well… Can I still read my feeds in google reader? ---

I couldn’t do it. I shop too many sites. Shopping is what my computer is for. Porn is second. Talking is like fifth. Third and fourth, I won’t mention. 😉 ---

Google, if we can keep it for maps, gmail, calendar and docs. I can leave the search engine go. Yahoo for my news and email [Ancestry.com](http://Ancestry.com) for my genealogy newspaperarchives for the same reason Find A Grave, again genealogy credit union 1 credit union 2, though I could drop this one if need be Wikipedia SDMB I can’t think of a 10th as there are ones I use daily, but I could live without if need be.
