noone will agree with all of the sites they list, should make for robust discusson.
nonetheless, bear in mind they are not talking about current influence, they are talking about the sites that shaped the web as it is today. slashdot may have less visitors/subscribers than digg (i have nfi, actually), but it was a groundbreaker.
though napster, the software, was the thing, not napster.com. okay, lots people went to napster.com to get it, but i think thats stretching - mirror sites dont get included as they shold by that criteria.
i think it is an interesting and quite surprisingly good list. for a change - these things are usually a bit light/trite.
