A history of the websites we all used to flock to, from Chatroulette to Hotmail to MySpace.

We’ve got a new episode of the 11 Points Countdown today; one that’s a nice jaunt through Internet nostalgia and kicking people when they’re down.

On this episode, I’m joined by my friend (and past guest host) Jared Grey to talk about the results of my poll on the 11 websites you used to be obsessed with… most of which it’s hard to believe you once loved.

Please take a sec and subscribe to the show’s YouTube channel. You’ll get to see new episodes before anyone else and be kind to a Google property (since we’re kinda harsh on Google+).

Here are the full results of the poll (highlight the first 11 to avoid spoilers)…

  1. MySpace
  2. Hotmail
  3. Ask Jeeves
  4. Yahoo
  5. Groupon (and other daily deals clones)

  9. Chatroulette
  10. Google Plus
  11. Geocities and Angelfire
