Websites

I've just realised how dull my internet repertoire is. I check my mail, read the news on the BBC website, view my bank accounts, monitor some forums and look at a couple of shops.

So tell me which websites you look at, regularly or occasionally, entertaining informative or useful, amusing or geeky, which you think the rest of us should be looking at. Any blogs you regularly keep an eye on which make astute political points? Any news sites which make you laugh out loud daily? Any shops where you consistently find huge bargains?

I want to know anything and everything worthwhile on the internet, as I now have more time on my hands. An encyclopaedia of good websites, if you will.

Re: Websites

To start off, an interesting one I've started monitoring lately is a blog of sorts called PostSecret. Here, people write their secrets on a postcard, send it to an address and the best are posted every Sunday.

I'm not sure why I like it, but I find it strangely uplifting to realise that a) there are people more ****ed up than me and b) there are people just as ****ed up as me, whatever my issues.

Re: Websites

I think most people have a dull repetoire too. In my case a cycle of news & sport headlines, torrent sites, and GD make up 90% of my internet use

MrPeach, for some reason your avatar reminds me of Stephen Hawking, perhaps at a time when his illness was less severe. Something about the head tilt and the frail smile I think. "No offence."

Re: Websites

My sites:

http://slate.msn.com

A *****ing* phenomenal opinion website that has extremely good articles if you don't mind digging for them.

http://www.npr.org
http://www.here-now.org
http://www.marketplace.org
http://www.theworld.org
http://www.transom.org

These are websites of public radio programs that you can listen to streaming. Sunday I was putting together a new desk and while I was doing the work I was listening to Fresh Air's piece on Smokey Robinson and the Miracles . It's great.

Other news I read:

http://www.nytimes.com
http://www.zdnet.com

Re: Websites

These forums, various blogs, news.google.co.uk, Slashdot, The Register, The Pirate Bay + other torrent sites, Zmag, vcdquality.com and Wikipedia are my usual cycle. I very rarely run out of sites to look at I can always read blogs that are linked to the ones I read, then ones linked to those, etc.

Also the Audioscrobbler site that Skiddy posted is quite a useful way of finding similar bands to the ones you like who you can then go Google which leads to more results...etc.

Damn that site is really intense.
Kind of puts things into perspective when you see people with problems like that.
