FREQUENTLY USED WEBSITES
In today’s crazy virtual world, there have been many websites that have appeared and disappeared. However, there are some which have been popular since the first day they started operating. They are part of our lives. We are so into them that we cannot imagine a day without checking them. They are as familiar to us as our pets, or even best friends. Even if you travel to the most unknown parts of the world, you will find out that everyone knows these websites although they are not using internet in their daily life. Some of these websites are local ones, and they are used in some certain countries by millions of people. On the other hand, some of them like Google, Yahoo or Amazon are known world-wide.

Because of the huge population in these places, they also have entered the global schemes of the most famous websites. The list of the top ten most visited websites in the world has remained virtually unchanged for quite a while now. Here are some of these websites and what are they used for:
