HTML5 is a reality. With the improvements in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9, every major browser vendor now supports significant portions of the standard.
With this in mind, I set out to find sites that were putting HTML5 to use to producing new effects or improved user experiences. Below are ten excellent examples of sites that are using HTML5 right now.

The Bifter takes advantage of HTML5 scalable vector graphic (SVG) capabilities to produce a monthly comic. Be sure to check out the source code.

Microsoft IE 10 Test Drive
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10 Test Drive site is, as you might expect, running HTML5. Check out the "Fishbowl Benchmark" — in the lower left — in a few different browsers. The results might surprise you.
