In the worldwide rankings eBay no longer performs very well, in the UK it still makes it in to the top 5 meaning it is still the go to place to sell your items even though Amazon and Play have their own marketplaces for used goods.

6. Amazon.co.uk

lenco.com

Amazon have steadily moved up the rankings in recent years and with the demise of Play.com as well as the introduction of their on demand service i'm sure Amazon will be moving up even further in years to come.

7. Yahoo.com

noisydecentgraphics.typepad.com

Historically the worlds top search engine, it was then dwarfed by Google and has since managed to recover somewhat following some re-branding and successful purchases of sites like Flickr and Tumblr.

8. Wikipedia.org

wordpress.com

People at college/university are very familiar with Wikpedia now, it certainly is a life saver to those needing to write an essay in a hurry. It never ceases to amaze us how millions of topics get updated with the latest information so quickly on a continual basis.

9. LinkedIn.com

fontmeme.com

This social media platform is popular for occupational and professional networking. Not really a place you'd go to discuss your thoughts on the latest Miley Cyrus song...

10. Twitter.com

The 140 character or less social media platform is surprisingly low in the rankings. Twitter is responsible for the #hashtag revolution that has now been copied by virtually every other social media platform including Facebook.
