From what I understand the list is part of the ChromeBot Tool, a sub-project of Chromium.

   ChromeBot is a distributed crash detection system.

   Chrome is run on a list of URLs to check for crashes.  A 
   pool of machines is used to distribute the workload, 
   each machine might potentially launch several instances 
   of Chrome. Crashes detected are symbolicated and saved 
   in database.

Hard for me to believe Orkut is so high on the list.

The tweet said only "The Top 1 million URLs in the world", not that the list is ordered in any particular way. I doubt the list is sorted.

For example, the first URL with a German domain (.de) -and if we ignore google - is

http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/showDetails.html

Never heard of that one, spiegel.de and amazon.de should be much more popular. The reason that google in the first entries might be that about 2.3% of all URLs in the list are google or facebook domains.
