I'd like to find out which online retailers are most popular (however
you want to define that). A list of the top 50 or top 100 from 2003
would be great. I found one for 1999, but that's too old.

What was the source for the 1999 list you found? It might help a
researcher to know what resources you've located on your own. Thanks.

Here's a list of the top 10 -- maybe that will help someone else to
uncover a longer list:

Retailer is pleased to announce its 2003 Best of the Web today.
The Top 50 sites run the gamut of retailers and sizes--from
Amazon.com, big and broad, to Guild.com, small and focused. But what
they have in common is that they use the web in innovative ways and,
among the vast majority of merchants, to link together multi-channel
offerings:

Nice work. I just wish the list were in rank order . . . but I guess I

Thanx for the 5 stars & tip!
