As I’ve explained in earlier pieces, I periodically post “most popular” lists of websites (and books) that I think educators might find useful. Of course, there are a number of ways to gauge “popularity.” I just view these lists as opportunities to check-out some new sites, and find it interesting to see which ones might be particularly “popular.”

://URLFAN measures the popularity of websites by blog mentions. In fact, you can type in the url address of any website and learn how popular it is using this measurement.

It also has what it calls “All-Time Top 100 Ranked Websites Listing most mentioned websites by bloggers.” Here are it’s top ten:

#1. en.wikipedia.org

#2. youtube.com

#3. flickr.com

#4. twitter.com

#5. google.com

#6. myspace.com

#7. facebook.com

#8. imdb.com

#9. nytimes.com

#10. apple.com
