The Top Ten
1 YouTube YouTube is a global video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California, United States. The service was created by three former PayPal employees on February 14, 2005.

I'm only picking this one because it's the most well known and people will more likely see your videos.
If you ever want to make videos for the internet, YouTube would be where they most likely end up.

I agree with TornadoTemper, it has a lot of medical stuff so students can learn a lot of things on YouTube. Luckily, it doesn't only contain scary creepypasta and horrible Adventure Time fan videos!

Yes, you can learn a lot of new things on YouTube and even find all those old T.V. shows, songs, advertisements etc. you miss. The only irritating things are some fan videos, especially Adventure Time ones!

2 Wikipedia Wikipedia is a multilingual free online encyclopedia created on January 15, 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. The website is written and maintained by a community of volunteers through open collaboration and a wiki-based editing system. Individual contributors, also called editors, are known as... read more

A common misconception I've been hearing is that anybody can add editions to Wikipedia. But the reality is, while anyone can edit, not everyone's editions will make it because they need to be reviewed by the administration and if the information is abusive or inaccurate it will be removed. Let's also not forget there are citations on the bottom of the page to where people get their information from. If anything this site can be useful.

Contrary to popular belief, Wikipedia is actually quite accurate (citation needed) and offers plenty of information about said result. It saved my life when I was in secondary school and will through college as well I hope. The layout is clean and simple and it works for the massive amount of information that some articles have. I recommend it to anyone.

3 Google Maps

So you've used TripAdvisor to plan your holiday, now time to locate things around your hotel with Google Maps. Google Maps comes with Street View so you can see exactly what is on the road you're on and you can search for specific amenities around a specific area by typing (amenity) in (city) e.g. Schools in London. The possibilities are endless with Google Maps.

4 TripAdvisor

Ever thought of planning a holiday abroad or going to a restaurant in the city or even a tour around some caves? TripAdvisor's got you covered. With a large community and helpful opinionated reviews from the general public, you can avoid a disastrous trip away from home. Me and my dad use TripAdvisor before going to any hotel, restaurant etc. It has yet to let me or my family down. Before using TripAdvisor, me and my dad went to a horrible hotel that advertised itself as a 4 star. Now thanks to TripAdvisor, I've been to 2 star hotels that feel as good as the usual 4 star ones.

5 Random.org

So you're doing a survey for a business or you may just be playing around with it. This site can help find the clients you're going to survey or who's going first in your game of hide and seek via a virtual coin toss. There are many other simulations - to shuffling cards and rolling dice, to raffle drawing and generating a password for your new account on a website. All the services mentioned above are free, but there is some premium content for paying users.

6 Urban Dictionary

Yes, there are a lot of questionable definitions that do come off as edgy, unfunny, and quite cringey. But if you can get past that, then you'll really find some precise definitions of certain words and phrases. It really helped me out when I was looking for certain meanings of words.

This site has the community tell you what different words or phrases mean. A lot of it is to do with intercourse and other rude acts but there is some intelligent stuff on there. This site will help you understand the present day slang and abbreviations that people use... if you don't already.
