I'm generally not a fan of listicles, but this one actually seems like a pretty well-put-together list of significant sites over the web's history. There are a few strange inclusions/exclusions, but overall this seems to cover most of the ones that I would have come up with if I had been trying to make a similar list.
No YTMND or Fark, especially given how meme-heavy the list is, seems a bit weird. Same with no Slashdot (but including Reddit/Digg) too. Other than that it's a pretty good list though. I am really...

I am really glad to see they put Archive.org so high too. It's often overlooked but IMO is absolutely one of the most important sites on the internet. Although I do question how low they have the EFF on the list (at #88).
Yeah, those are some of the ones that I thought were strange to miss. I didn't think of Fark, but that's definitely a big one. I think Dropbox and the Space Jam sites were probably the main ones...
Yeah, those are some of the ones that I thought were strange to miss. I didn't think of Fark, but that's definitely a big one. I think Dropbox and the Space Jam sites were probably the main ones on the list that I'd have wanted to remove in lieu of those ones, both of those seemed a little out of place to me.
Space Jam was neat to see included just because of the story behind its creation as well as the fact that it's still up and running all these years later, perfectly preserved in all its 90s...
But I agree Dropbox seems a bit out of place considering how many other major cloud storage platforms there are. Same with Seamless, which I have never even heard of before... although being Canadian might have something to do with that, I guess.

Any major omissions that any of you notice?
