Webbing

Here's an intriguing list of the top websites in America.  There are no surprises at the top--we start with Google, Facebook and YouTube.  I'm not much of a Facebooker, but, like almost everyone else, I use Google as a portal, and waste a lot of time watching YouTube videos. (There were plenty of search engines before Google--I'm still not sure how it took over, but it sure did.)

Next is Amazon, followed by Yahoo.  Amazon is interesting.  I would have guessed it's the top shopping site, but how much time do people spend shopping online?  Apparently, a lot.  And though I occasionally check out Yahoo, somehow I'd gotten the impression it was yesterday's news.  Guess I'm wrong.

Twitter is #8 and eBay is #9.  While I'm not surprised, I admit I don't really spend any time with either.

You may note I skipped over 6, 7 and 10.  Guess what?  They're porn sites: pornhub, xxnx, and xvideos.  I figured porn was popular on the internet, but I had no idea.

Looking at 11-20, we see such names as Wikipedia (definitely in my top ten), Instagram, Reddit, Craigslist (more shopping, though I'm not sure how it makes money), Bing (but everyone told me Bing is a joke), xhamster (not a pet site) and ESPN.

Check out the whole list and see how your favorites match up.
