How literally should we take the question? I’d be tempted to list the SDMB, but if everyone can only use three websites, this place would be a ghost town and there’d be no point. Ditto facebook, ditto youtube, ditto a whole host of file-sharing sites, etc.

So, I’m going to interpret the question to mean that **I** can only use three sites. In that case:

Wikipedia (I need the internet to be a source of instant info.)  
SDMB (I need the internet to be an opportunity to socialize.)  
Amazon (I need the internet to be an opportunity for commerce.)

Just missed the cut: [espn.com](http://espn.com), [nytimes.com](http://nytimes.com), The Onion, youtube, eBay, [twoplustwo.com](http://twoplustwo.com) (poker message board)
