25 Websites We Can't Live Without from Time.com

On Monday, Time.com published an article called “25 Sites We Can’t Live Without.”  It’s a comprehensive list including a review of each site that made the cut.  In short, the winners (in alphabetical order) are:

1. Amazon.com
2. BBC.co.uk
3. Citysearch.com
4. Craigslist.org
5. Del.icio.us
6. Digg.com
7. eBay.com
8. Facebook.com
9. FactCheck.org
10. Flickr.com
11. Google.com
12. HowStuffWorks.com
13. The Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
14. iTunes
15. Kayak.com
16. NationalGeographic.com
17. Netflix.com
18. SimpleWeather.com
19. Technorati.com
20. TMZ.com
21. USA.gov
22. TelevisionWithoutPity.com
23. WebMD.com
24. Wikipedia.org
25. Yahoo.com

I think this is an interesting list as not only are the sites and their utilities important to users, but several of these brands have also become an integral way of life for tech-savvy people.  However, I’m not sure if this list is appropriate for all demographic groups.  For example, people who don’t enjoy reading blogs or feel comfortable in the blogosphere can probably cross several of those sites off their personal lists of sites they can’t live without, but all-in-all, I think this list from Time is a good one.

It’s also interesting that several of the sites are fairly new to the internet.  For example, Facebook.com has only recently grown significantly in popularity.  I also find it interesting that only one real news site, BBC.co.uk, made the list, and it’s not even a U.S. site.

I did the math and I only use 56% (14) of the sites on this list.  On a regular basis, I only use 40% (10) of the sites on the list.  What do you think?  Do you use these sites?  Can you think of any sites that should have been included on this list but were not?  Should any sites on the list be removed?  Leave a comment and let Brandcurve’s readers hear your opinion.
