Top 10 websites


1. Google (http://www.google.co.uk/)  
As I'm sure you know, Google is the biggest search engine. It has several hundred million inquiries every day!!! So it's no surprise it's first on the list! Also, you can search videos, images etc. and you can create an email account using google!


2. Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/)
Probably the biggest social networking site in the world. Sign in and talk to friends online, either in public or in private. It has over 800 million active users, but you have to sign up before you use it!


3. Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/)
Site where you can share or view videos. Really easy to put videos on the web, share them and watch them. Don't need an account to view videos, but you do to create them. There are around 120 million videos, so you should be able to search pretty much anything you can think of.


4. Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/)
Basically and online encyclopedia, with information on basically ever single thing ever created in the whole universe! However, watch out because some items can be false, due to anyone being able to write information on the pages.


5. Yahoo! (http://uk.yahoo.com/)
Great search engine, with loads of information. My favorite feature to yahoo! would probably be yahoo answers. People ask questions (or you can yourself) and then others answer it! Great for finding info and answers to badly needed questions


6. Blogspot (http://www.blogger.com/home)
Well, seeing as I'm using this at the moment and so are you I thought I'd have to put Blogspot up! You can write blogs easily and free and search through profiles through interests.


7. Twitter (http://twitter.com/)
Another great social networking site where you can "follow" people, where you see their "tweets". Basically you can see what people you know, or celebrities, are thinking and posting online!!


8. Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/)
Online site that offers a wide range of products at really low prices! The producer of the amazon kindle (believe it or not) and you can sell things on this easily either new or used. Find this more reliable than eBay purely from experience (no offence eBay!)


9. eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/)
Another online shopping site. I do prefer Amazons reliability, but you just can't beat eBay's massive range of products! So many people use eBay and can get either new or used products.


10. Stumbleupon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/)
Have you ever been stuck for a website and don't know which one to go to? Well not anymore with Stumbleupon! You can simply click "Stumble" and it randomly goes to a website, depending on your interests. Find this really handy and can get some good websites that you can keep going back to.
