Regular Websites
Tell me the websites you're visiting regularly and I tell you what type of person you are… Uh, just joking. But I find it interesting to what kind of websites I am frequently returning to.
The categories:
Several times per day:
I think the two sites I click to most often are the "earthquakes in Japan" site (ahem… kind of obsessed with that. To such an extent that I feel queasy when there hasn't been a quake for 5 hours or so…!) and the BBC's international news page.
My "home" is Yahoo… I don't know why, it's always been that way. When I started out with the Internet Yahoo was my home and it has stayed like that because I am such a loyal person (uh?). So, of course, I am clicking through their news pop ups too.
Once a day:
Germany's ARD news site and the Japan weather site.
Every two days or so:
Wikipedia and the earthquakes in the world site which I find to be just amazing…
The ultimate German/English dictionary: Leo from the TU (technical university) Munich and wadoku.de, the best online German/Japanese dictionary (at least in my opinion).
Every three days or so:
Imdb – the internet movie database – nerd that I am, I need to find out stuff about the movies and TV shows that I'm watching.
Every four days or so = twice a week:
SF scope for SF news and/or Locus online
Once a week:
Facebook, twitter and goodreads, this blog here.
Regular sites, but maybe not every week:
Japan's Movie Walker to know what's playing. Boing Boing for odd news. Stupid amateur vidos of cute doggies on animal all stars to relax and put a smile on my face when I need a cute attack. Some weird stuff on YouTube, mostly metal band vids .
Then of course all sorts of book (= real work) related sites – agent sites, publisher sites, author sites and and and.
So, what are your regular sites? Lemme know
