Do You Know?
Wikipedia say: Topsites are sites with a ranked listing of different websites, generally related by an overall subject. In many cases a topsite is a directory of related web sites which ranks the listed sites by popularity. Topsite rankings are user generated, usually through voting by visitors (clicks in to the topsite) from member sites or by counting pageviews. Most topsites have an anti-cheat protection system and some display traffic statistics, user ratings, and reviews. Topsites often list a top 50 or top 100 most popular sites with a similar topic. They can be a significant source of free targeted traffic for member sites if that topsite becomes popular. After several early search engines failed, some people thought topsites might replace them.

Humor of the day
One day a mother and father were having sex and their son walked in.
"What are you doing, the kid asked".
Well, you wanted a brother, so we''re making you one.
The next day, the father walks outside and sees his son porking away on the family junker''s tailpipe.
"Son...what the hell are you doing!!!"
And the son replied - "Mom said she wanted an new car, so I''m making her one!"
