¡Hola! How's it going, guys? Man, it's been about a week since I've uploaded. Feels a little bit weird to be back behind the mic again, but it's pretty cool. And my computer is so loud right now, I wish it would shut up. But hopefully you can't hear it. I don't think you can, it's a little ways away, but it's just annoying me. Anyways, today we're gonna talk about the top websites on the web. I guess I should have thought of a better intro to the video, but pretty much I found this site that lists all the top websites and it ranks them and updates daily. So this is legit what I'm about to say, and it's the top 500 websites on the web. And, uh, yeah, I'm just gonna go down the list and talk a little bit about each of them. I've actually not really scrolled through any of this. This is all gonna be a surprise to me, so it's gonna be pretty interesting, you know? So number one, number one website in the world is Google.com, and I don't think that's a surprise to anyone. Everyone uses Google, or everyone who uses Google Chrome uses Google multiple times every day. So Google's number one, no surprise. They're extremely rich and own just about everything. They own YouTube. Number 2 is Facebook, and that's a little surprising to me because I don't really use Facebook that much anymore. But I don't know, I understand why it's up there. Tons and tons of people, hundreds of millions of people use Facebook. But I don't know, I feel like it's gonna die off soon, within the next couple of years. Not as many people use it, especially with all these new social networking sites. But I might be wrong. Facebook's number 2, and then YouTube is number 3, which is, like I said, owned by Google. Those are the top 3 websites right there: Google, Facebook, and YouTube. No surprise, all 3, just about everyone I know uses those sites multiple times every day. Number 4 is Yahoo.com, and I'm a little surprised by that because I don't think I've ever used Yahoo. I always use Google. And then number 5 is Baidu.com, and the description for Baidu is the leading Chinese language search engine. So apparently China has its own search engine. It's Baidu, and, uh, you know, China has over a billion people, so I'm not surprised that's in the top 5. And number 6 is Wikipedia. And teachers at my school, when I do like research papers and stuff, tell us we can't use Wikipedia because anyone could go on there and change it. It's not a reliable source. But, uh, it's the number 6 most used website in all of the web. So, uh, I don't know, I can't really use it because my teachers say it's too easy to change information on there, and if someone wanted to troll, they could easily change, um, just stuff on there. You know what I'm saying. Number 7 is Twitter. Not surprised. I actually thought it would be like in the top 5, especially above like Yahoo. But anyways, Twitter is number 7. Not something I use that much, but I do have a Twitter for this YouTube channel. Number 8 is Amazon. Now I'm not surprised to see that up there. And with all these commercials recently about like Amazon Prime or whatever, I don't even know what that does, but Amazon's number 8. Number 9 is QQ.com. I've never heard of QQ.com, but the description is, "It's China's largest, most used internet service portal owned by Tencent Inc., founded in November." I don't, I have no clue what that meant, but apparently it's something Chinese, which explains why I've never heard of it. And it's an internet service portal, whatever that is. Number 10 is Likedin.com, a networking tool to find connections to recommend job candidates. I have no idea why that's number 10, but that's number 10. I don't know, I don't think— I don't know that many people that use Likedin.com. I've heard of it, I actually have an account on there, but apparently it's number 10. Whoa, I just noticed this video's been going on a lot longer than I thought it has. I think I'm almost at like 4 minutes or something, so I'm just gonna wrap it up. I wanted to get through the top 20 just because the next couple ones are kind of interesting, so I'm gonna go a little bit faster now, not talk as much. And number 11 is Live.com. The description is just it's a search engine for Microsoft. I've never heard of Live.com, but apparently it's pretty big, it's number 11. Number 12 is Tobacco.com. It says it's launched in— it was launched in May 2003, and it's one of the leading tobacco marketplaces on the internet. It's number 12. Number 13 is Google.co, the Indian version of this popular search engine so named Google, is the description. So apparently number 1 is Google, number 13 is Google for India. So there you go. Number 14 is Sina.com, and the description is written in Chinese, so I have no idea what it is. Number 15 is hao123.com, and the description is just "Baidu," which I think that was the Chinese site I mentioned earlier. These are all different sites that I've never heard of because they're for different countries. Number 16 is blogspot.com. I think I've heard of that before, don't really remember what it was for. Number 17 is Weibo, and the description's in Chinese, so that's all I can tell you is it's Weibo. 18 is yahoo.co.jp, and the description is the Japanese version of the popular site Yahoo. Number 19 is tmall.com, no clue. And number 20 is shouhu.com, and the description's in Chinese. I don't know if it's Chinese, it's a different language that looks weird to me. So those are the top 20 websites. Um, I— this is my first time ever seeing this list, so I don't know, it's kind of interesting. I feel like I learned a little bit from it that pretty much Google, you know, owns the internet, and I think everyone already knows that. If it's not Google, it's a site owned by Google that you use. Google and Facebook, pretty much. Facebook's pretty big out there. And that's pretty much that. Those are the top 20 sites. Let me know what you thought would be in there or what you think should be in there, because a lot of these are like foreign sites, but a good 12 of these are like American sites that I've heard of. And I'm kind of surprised, like, LycaDIN's in there and Live.com and Tobacco.com. I mean, those 3 sites I've never really been on. So, uh, it's pretty much that. Let me know what you think down below.
