Google, eBay and Friends Reunited are among key influential websites which have had the biggest impact on UK web users, say analysts Nielsen Netratings.
Early commerce and price comparison sites like Amazon, Kelkoo and Easyjet, have paved the way for online shopping.

While community-based ones like file-sharing network Napster, web diary site Blogger, and AOL Instant Messenger are named pioneers in the top 10 list.

Nielsen Netratings have been monitoring online trends for the last five years.

Er, those aren't all websites. Outlook, AIM, and Napster are separate client programs themselves which use different protocols.

Sometimes the news media is stupid. Like when they call AIM a web site. God those people are morons.
