You just have to list 10. I say 11 because we’ll just assume everybody’s #1 is straightdope.

I’m down to just a couple. I’ve pretty much given up on my former favorites, as the shopping sites became dot.gones. So I use [Zap2it.com](http://Zap2it.com) TV listings [My.Yahoo.com](http://My.Yahoo.com) news and movies email and… uh… that’s about it even this site is no longer on my speed dial.
