I know the ones I bolded and opined on. This looks like the AOL / grandparents intarw3b fad list.

Things that need to be on there, but aren't:
YTMND
Bubb Rubb
GI Joe PSAs
Tvbg!rl
Goatse
Yatta

Plus many others that slip my mind atm.

ok, since no one seems to remember, ellen feiss was the semi-retarded (but more likely stoned) chick from the apple "switch" commercial campaigns.
and yeah, those were all pretty big. though friendster & blogger aren't quite the same as the rest.
