Great to see that internet users aren't wasting their time online. That's quite an impressive list.

Looking at this list, I wondered, does the National Enquirer have a publically traded stock.

Google should retire Britney Spears from this list, since she's been on it every year that I can remember. Either that, or give her a lifetime achievement award.

You tell me, is it BAD that I have never heard of number five or ten on this list???

People are Googling for "youtube" instead of just typing "youtube.com" into their browser? Sheesh!

I've heard of all 10, but I misidentified #10 (my first guess was that she was in Dreamgirls), and I have no idea who won #4.

I also do not know who #5 or #10 are. Badge of honor, my friend. The only one I've used is YouTube, but I hardly would need a google search when I could just type in the obvious url.
