The internet *is* boring

Every time I open up Firefox, I only go to four sites:

In that order. Beyond those four sites, I don't really have the need to visit anything else. When I have a question about Rails, I search in Google, that is probably the only other site I frequently visit. So that's 5 sites. I recently added one more site to that list, Mint.com, which is gearing up for a massive launch on September 18th. Mint has the coolest technology I have *ever* seen on the internet, beating out Flash and the PageRank algorithm respectively.

So 6 sites. Out of hundreds of millions of sites out there. Only 6 currently make the cut. To make something that will work from now on you have to be 1) extremely niche and 2) has paying customers (this is just opinion). 37signals have done it right.
