It always sort of astounded me that people didn't recognize the hampsterdance song as being a sped up version of a song from Disney's animated Robin Hood movie.

70 that I actually knew of at the time they were something big, a dozen or so more if you count the ones I never actually visited or learned about long after the fact.

I aggregated it to somewhere near 80 that I recognized, some even from the layouts.
I still use many of those sites regularly today, so that's cool. Pretty much like most of us probably do.

I counted 64. The rest of them are mostly websites for a strictly american audience and i'm proud to say that i've witnessed the birth of some of them. Now i feel old seeing those ancient Amazon and Ebay homepages lol.

I have been on the Internet since before www, so not surprised to recognize so many. Not all, but most.

I'm surprised that the list has Something Awful, Digg and eBaum's World yet entirely left out Fark.

I recognized 39 websites. I thought I would have known more since I'm using Internet since the late 90s.

While I'm stoked that Rotten[dot]com made it on the list, I am shocked that OldVersion didn't. That site has saved me from a lot of frustration (Winamp 5 anyone?).

91/100 I might have spent too much time online. Sites like rotten.com & goatse were very popular in my high school :(
