The second winner in our name x in y minutes contest is johnlaf, who has challenged everyone to name the world’s most popular websites.
To get that data, I turned to Alexa’s Global 500, which ranks sites based on traffic. While their rankings aren’t perfect, the “Alexa number” is a common metric when comparing things online. Mentalfloss.com is #8,179 (#2,166 in the U.S.), but we won’t make you count that high.

Damn, I missed Live.com and Blogger.com. I’ve actually never heard of blogger.

7/9.
Wouldn’t be bad except I researched this the other day and almost submitted it as my quiz idea, then I realized someone else already did.

I only missed msn, but I only got live by chance. I was trying to type something different.
