Tell Us! Your Top Five Favourite Sites?

Hope you all had a very happy Mother’s Day and did something relaxing whether you are a mom or not! I got some lovely wine, handmade chocolates and soap, and had a great day with my boys (the big one and the little one). Also got to speak to my own Mom, which is always lovely!
Changing the subject entirely (ha!), I recently found a list of the top 100 websites used by South Africans. Alexa provides a fascinating array of web information and statistics — for example, the fact that eLuckypacket is has a traffic rank of 1,626,783. Hmn … definitely need to spread the word!
Anyhow, here are the top 20 sites used by South Africans. And I’ve marked the ones I use in green to show you just how usage differs by country. Because of where I live, my top twenty are far closer to the US list.
My top five are probably: Google.com, Yahoo Mail, Flickr, Amazon.com and YouTube. What about yours? Leave a comment and let’s compare notes.
Top Twenty Websites - South Africa:
1 Google.co.za
2 Facebook

My top 5 are Yahoo Mail, Facebook, NY Times, iGoogle, and the Law Librarian Blog (http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/law_librarian_blog/).
That list looks a little boring, I have to admit.
