Back in my day, You waited till the end of the year to produce these lists....

Why does a site featuring Top 100 Sites of _2010_ looks like it was designed in 1994!

Aren't you looking at the 'Print' version?

Interesting how Wikileaks isn't on the list, considering the attention it's received lately.

It's surprising that Slashdot isn't in there, but it isn't a survey measuring traffic.

From the article: "Here are our picks for the hottest Web sites and Web trends of the year, plus some old favorites to enjoy."

I didn't mention traffic at all, just that Wikileaks has received a lot of attention (both positive and negative). It has undoubtedly been highly impactful in our society, government and media. With all the media coverage in the last couple of months, it seems like it would have been an obvious choice.

Their fact-checking needs some work. Consumerist was sold from Gawker Media in late 2008.
