my top sites
I saw something floating around about the top ten sites one visits every day, and it got me thinking of my top ten sites:
1. Gmail. This is the first thing I check every morning, without fail. Both accounts.
2. Bank. I like to know how my money's working for me. (haha). I really just like to know if I have enough to pay the rent.
3. Livejournal. Even if I don't comment often, trust me: I'm reading and keeping up with you.
4. Facebook. Er, yeah. I have a facebook, in my real name. Actually, if any of you do as well and know me, feel free to find me. I just convinced Tech the other day to get one - he says he hates me for it, but I don't believe him. ;)
5. Gothamist. I love me some Gothamist. It's NYC-centric, but there are other "-ists" blogs that cover major cities. It's nice, neat, and convenient for local news and tidbits about the music and arts scene.
6. Consumerist. I might be a little obsessed with this site. It has helped me learn how to get the best airfares, bargain on hotel costs, and gain knowledge on how to be a savvy consumer. I highly recommend you put it on your reading rotation - plus it has links to Bargainist which may have helped fuel an overload of um, *necessary* purchases in the past couple of months.
7. Boing Boing. What I love most about this "directory of wonderful things" is that is seriously IS a directory of wonderful, diverse *stuff*. It's awesome.
8. CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News. Eh, I'll just lump all the news sites together. I have to get a fix every hour or so of what's going on in the world.
9. What would a top ten list be without Cute Overload and I Can Has Cheezburger? (answer: SAD)
10. And the last, which might have been overlooked: Google. I am at a loss as to how I procured information before Google. Seriously, *how did I survive*. I don't even wanna know how many hits a day I give them. Enough to get high forever...
What are yours?
