I’m laying down a challenge … what are your top three internet sites. No cheating, they have to be final destination (so no Google) and you can’t include your own site or blog. Let’s get down to business and my top three …
1. Flickr - the original and for me still the best picture place.
2. Wikipedia - the worlds biggest encyclopedia.
3. Youtube - destination tv … a window on the world.
Now your turn, three links and why.

ReportPirate Bay: http://www.thepiratebay.org - how else am I going to stay on top of all that great US TV? The UK schedulers buried Dexter and Curb Your Enthusiasm…

ReportTwo from me:
Last FM http://www.last.fm/
Last FM is an internet radio station and an online community website. It uses a music recommendation system called ’scrobbling’ which links up with your iTunes (or other music catalogue system) and can recommend new tracks for you to listen too. Very clever if you’re into your music and like to keep discovering new bands.
Sprint Wait Less http://www.waitless.org/
A brilliant website brought to you by American telecoms company Sprint - which in their own words ‘fast forwards you past the boring bits of life’. One minute films on how to do tedious tasks quickly and then tells you what ‘time rebate’ you’ll have to do more exciting stuff with your life. A brilliant idea. I wish I’d thought of it.

ReportNot sure that it is a destination site but it is always my first port of call on the web: Netvibes. It’s my window to the world all on one page. My emails, my news, my fave blogs (including this one). Everything I need in one site. I love it.

ReportAmazon - just can’t stop one click buying
TechCrunch - its still the best place to find out what’s happening in the digital business
Youtube - the best time waster ever invented.
It’s amazing how many of the sites I would have mentioned are just Portals, like digg.com, the future of the web is the same as the beginning. Smart aggregation of a lot of content…
