What websites are the most helpful for you?
I spend a lot of time on reddit.com in some of their areas about mental illness chatting and answering questions. I get a lot of help there for myself, too.
Facebook gets a fair amount of my time. I use it for personal reasons and to promote the community theater group I’m active with.
My main source of news is the Washington Post. It’s still free.
And I love Fluther.

Not many I am afraid @Hawaii_Jake , I do enjoy Fluther, it is a thoughtful time for me, it is also a fun time. I love IMVU because I develop there. Other than that, I am dubious of Face Book for a variety of reasons. My surfing area has become very small :) But thanks for the heads up on the site you mentioned.
I primarily consume web content via Google Reader (also on Android and iOS), rather than browsing individual websites. So, I get updated curated (by me) content from approximately 100 websites/blogs/etc.
But I also find that Reddit is great if you subscribe to the sub-reddits that interest you. And there’s also Google+. They recently added communities. There are some decent conversations going on within particular areas of interest. Hacker News is decent, and resembles reddit in the early days before digg.com imploded and the refugees discovered reddit. Stack Overflow for work/software development. Also, Stack Overflow is built on the StackExchange model. There are a ton of special interest sites.
I am quite mainstream. I hang out on Facebook a lot, to see what people are up to. And I check Huff Post for news, although my main sources for news are a newspaper and TV. And I spend time on Fluther.
I just need Fluther and the weather and I’m good. A little NYTimes, News, Google.
Huff Post, The Week and Slate are my go-to sites for news and opinion, Fluther for socializing and opining, and a number of technology and gadget sites for fun. I’m not a FB person but I do use LinkedIn from time to time.
Wikipedia, Fluther, Ravelry, and lately I’ve been checking out Quora.
Here’s the sites I have pinned on my Firefox home page. There’s Google News, The Boston Channel, and Gmail. Those are usually my first three stops in the morning, in that order. Next is work, Yahoo! Stores, which is usually my next stop. Time to work. I’m a Yahoo! Store developer. Then I have, in whatever order I need them, PayPal, my local bank (sorry, no link), Facebook to keep up with family, Fluther, and finally Web of Trust to check out those NSFW sites for trustworthiness before clicking through to them.
I subscribe to the newsletters from ”The Washington Post” plus several right and left sites to get a balanced perspective on what’s going on.
