Fellow blogger David Berkowitz reached out to me on behalf of Time.com 50 Best Web sites. Definitely an interesting list. I say that because I don't recognize most of the sites. The one site I use regularly is Imeem (#31), and I just added TinyURL (#8) to my toolbar after seeing it on the list. I visit UrbanDictionary (#9) only occasionally. Interesting that MySpace isn't on the list. Like Max, I, too, found it noteworthy that Google isn't, either. However, I think that has more to do with Google's ubiquity vs. any lack of popularity. What I mean is that (almost) everyone uses Google, so we think about it as much as we think about how cool it is that light comes on when you flick the switch.
So, if I'm not on most of these sites, where am I, you ask? Here's my (partial) list:
- The Daily Swarm (great music news aggregator, so it's my homepage)
- Google (Gmail, Reader, Feedburner, Analytics)
- Marketing Pop Culture (via the Typepad platform)
- Bold As Love (my other blog on Black rock)
- Remember The Milk
- Del.icio.us
Where do you hang out online?
For me I'm at these sites:
-Facebook
-Friendster
-Imeem
-Google Mail
-Yahoo Messenger
-Yahoo Mail
-One Manga
-Twitter

Nice selection. Each has its own merit

I use the following sites on the Time.com list:
FreeRice (#5) -- one day of addiction
Urban Dictionary (#8) -- frequently
Rate My Professors (#16) -- as a tool when selecting/changing courses each semester
... And that's it. The majority of sites, I haven't heard of, either.
The sites I regularly visit:
Email: Gmail, Yahoo, University Account
News: Business Week, Yahoo homepage, AOL homepage
Social Media: Facebook
Blogs: TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, Duct Tape Marketing
