I'm just wondering what everyone is using, i tend to use the pretty obvious ones the most. Google, YouTube, Amazon, and recently Wrongplanet. Does anyone have any good recommendations or sites they wouldn't be with out?

Well, there's most visited, then there's most liked.

Google is my homepage, so I can go where I want from there, but I would hardly say Google itself is where I spend most of my time. I follow a few webcomics and blogs, and I regularly visit some humour sites, but I'm not sure whether they fall in the the category of "favourite". Yes, Youtube, but for specific people, so the site isn't necessarily a favourite. And Amazon is more an enabler, a marketplace, so again, probably no. I mean, RS Components provide me with cheap, mass electronic components, so I like that site, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

I've always liked rainymood.com
Soundcloud is good for finding new music.
I find Wiki-hopping (click any link on wikipedia, but not using the search feature) can be entertaining some times.


What are you looking to? Learning, humour, gaming, shopping?

What you said, plus I like 7 Cups of Tea and Pogo.

7 Cups of Tea has an autism support forum and some other support forums I fit into (such as anxiety support). There are also chat rooms and listeners who will listen to you (though I have yet to try a listener). Here's the website: http://www.7cupsoftea.com/

And Pogo is a game site. www.pogo.com

Yes that's a good point, the sites I mentioned are really enablers. I suppose it depends on your interests as to what sites are interesting to you. I'm just wondering where other people spend most of their online time, and if there are any little gems on any subject that people think are really well made and interesting. It could be the arts, politics, philosophy, psychology, humour, even sport, though that one doesn't hold much interest for me.

My favourites are CNN, Seattle Times, Google and Wrong Planet. I also have a few horror film sites thrown in for good measure.

It's my favourite website as I use Roku to view all my out-of-area TV that I can't receive off-air.

A distant second favourite would be
