Faith Quick (faithbquick) | 39 comments well without a doubt goodreads is my all time favorite! i am of the generation on the cusp of the internet world wide web phenomenon! email was first introduced to me in college and not until i came back from 2 years in brazil did i even step into www.com's. i just discovered youtube this year! i have to say i log in and i go to goodreads then my bank then i log out! sometimes on the weekends i will youtube it where i get lost for HOURS and i mean HOURS in the collage of cyber information!!!

i was wondering what all you amazing "chicks" go onto when you are online! here is my list....

pandora.com for background music
itunes.com for my ipod
goodreads.com for every emotion under the sun!
youtube.com for every video extravaganza!
hulu.com for saturday night live!
apple.com for movie trailers
craigslist.com for info and to see stuff around the world!
my bank......
80stees.com for cool shirts and childhood memories!
msn and yahoo for email

and that is it! i really don't visit anymore but i do go to the cities websites just to see what the city is like ie...portland.com....parkcity.com....aspen.com...etc..

message 10: by Louise (new)

Louise Chambers (louisec303) Excellent topic!
I think I'm a web junkie, but that is just in comparison to my friends my age who tell me they aren't interested.
I just found out about GoodReads and it's now my favorite!
WalkerTracker.com for keeping track of my daily steps.
I'm a news junkie so:
Euronews
LeMonde (I read in French)
CommonDreams.org
YouTube for geeky things such as New America Foundation for news about technology.
iTunes for podcasts of Mac tech news, Word Nerds, Democracy Now! and Bill Moyer's Journal.
Did I say I'm kinda geeky? :-D


message 11: by Holli (new)

Holli I'm on Goodreads constantly!! LOL

Yahoo for my email and yahoo IM is always up when I'm online.

I pay all my bills online and do my banking online so I'm always on those.

Google reader for my blogs I follow, AMC website for movie showtimes, Blockbuster online, BOMC2, and Shutterfly alot.


message 12: by Holli (new)

Holli By the way....pandora.com is now my new fave thing and I'm going to love 43things.com also!! Thanks Jamie!!!

Tera | 2564 comments Mod
YAY Teri fellow NSBR pea in the house!
I love the nsbr forums on 2ps. You can always find a discusssion or a train wreck to get into.
I adore Pandora and always have it going.
Facebook but yes be warned Meg has MAD skills on word games. Seriously shes like some word wizard. I feel good when I get half her scores.
Etsy is awesome.
I click on TMZ now and again... yeah pathetic I know but I'm curious sue me!



message 14: by Holli (new)

Holli Oh hey...I have TMZ saved in my faves. I like to check it out every so often too!


message 15: by Tera, First Chick (new)

You have to. How else would I ever know that Ashlee Simpson named her kid Bronx Mowgli. I don't hang out in the right cirlces to find that out without TMZ ;)

Holli Oh I'm dying laughing right now....what were they thinking?? Makes Apple seem normal doesn't it? ;)


message 17: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (fireheart223) | 10 comments Goodreads and Facebook are my favorites!


message 18: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cyndil62) | 1774 comments First--Yahoo for email and then Goodreads (always open), then usually my local library site to see if they have the latest book I'm adding to goodreads which seems to happen every day, and if not then amazon.com to see how much it costs!
Facebook and My Space, really like the panhala yahoo group, there is a new poem posted every day by a contributor with a picture and song to go along with it, wonderful poetry; usually my blog, I think it was Thursday I put some panhala poetry & pics on there.
Um, shutterfly (for my pics), playlist.com, and always checking out new sites and new blogs.
Thanks for all the great website suggestions, will check them out!!


Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner) (perpetualpageturner) | 369 comments oh boy i'm finding even more distractions now!! :)

message 20: by Meg (new)

Meg (megvt) | 3069 comments Teri - Facebook
Tera is the queen of challenge soduko, I am trying hard but she is darn good on facebook.
I also play pathwords, word twist, scramble and word challenge. Anyone who is on facebook and not my friend, just send a friend request. There are a lot of COLs on it now.

If you are not on it join we are having fun. And we have a COL group listing there.

Pandora is awesome.

Others I love are msn.com for their games, Yahoo Answers, the local library and my bank, IMBD for movie trivia and ivillage.com

Oh and when I'm really bored I go to e online to look at the fasion police pix... nothing like a little celebrity craziness to make my life seem okay!

I am open to anyone who wants to come and take us on in a few challenges...but I think Meg is queen of scramble!;)
