Yep. Drudge is a one stop shop that pulls from evrywhere around the world. Guess he invented some kind of search algorithm?

List is shite when you don't include the websites that were most influential on the websites listed.
In that case, just put the first search engine and call it a day. No need for any other websites, because without search engines, the rest wouldn't exist.
Google wasn't the first search engine, but it quickly became the best, and it has held that title for an astonishingly long time in terms of the internet. Google completely changed the game. Every search engine up to that point wanted you to stay on their site to derive ad revenue. Google wanted to be the best search engine on the internet, and that model has been pretty profitable.

Yahoo should be number one because they showed everyone how to ruin a perfectly good website.

Google took search engines and made them better, but if people hadn't been conditioned to use them, Google might never have been created.
Yahoo was certainly influential as it was the search engine that brought search engines to the mainstream.
I will throw out a lesser known site, JenniCam.com, that certainly influenced today's cam sites. JenniCam was one of the first, if not the first, sites to broadcast a person's life unfiltered. It may not be a direct ancestor to myfreecams, chaturbate, etc. but it certainly showed what can happen when an attractive young woman broadcasts her life on a webcam.
I am also wondering if this list should have been included to include apps/programs. Napster was a program, not really a website. The same thing for AIM/ICQ/IRC clients - but they certainly changed the way people interact online.

Yahoo!, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Google.
These are my top 5 and have said so before the ranking. No particular order but Google is no.1.

from what i remember, Yahoo was the first major search engine, right?
i also remember altavista, web crawler, ask jeeves and bing.
i think those all existed prior to google, correct?

Excite actually came out a year before Yahoo. Yahoo was by far the most popular one at the time though (about 94-97 when the net really began to take off). The other "classics" that I remember were Lycos, Altavista, Webcrawler, Infoseek, and HotBot. Google came along after all of those in 1997.

also, if we're including apps, something like winamp or real player needs to be mentioned.
prior to those formats, audio only existed as .wav, which was uncompressed and thus huge file sizes, which didn't really jive with the tech of yesteryear (data speeds and storage sizes).
once the mp3 was born, that enabled music pirating to go mainstream, and ended up changing the music industry.

Drudge also broke the Lewinsky scandal IIRC

Just went to Drudge report for the first time. What a POS site. How's that top 10 anything. Looks like it was designed in 1995.
