Definitely http://www.thenethernet.com/ I absolutely love the site, and the game.
Maybe mugglenet.com, watchmen-comic-movie.com, and erm… cant think of much else. Nethernet was worth this answer though. Sorry if I cant supply 5.

according to my “top sites” (btw anyone with a Mac that can and hasn’t upgraded to Safari 4 should…if for no other reason other than top sites and history search are great)

I have: facebook, fluther, www.questionablecontent.net, wikipedia, www.theicarusproject.net, and www.playlist.com

Coasttocoast… that’s a wild one. Is Art Bell on the web?

elijah's avatar

Art Bell’s radio show scared the shit out of me. I would be driving home from work after 4am, and by the time I got home I would be too scared to get out of my car. For some reason I couldn’t stop listening though.

Google, Facebook, Tumblr. Flickr, eBay

Most frequently used (aside from my bank and a few local services):

Google.com
Dictionary.com
Thesaurus.com
Amazon com
Netflix.com

“Favorite” in the sense of preferred, favored, and best-beloved—a matter of affection and not utility—there’s really nothing close, but I do happen to enjoy the Four Word Film Review.

@Jeruba Is Dictionary.com pretty good? Is there an encyclopedia website?

StephK's avatar

mentalfloss.com
pandora.com
facebook.com (lol)
xkcd.com
http://whereisbob.wordpress.com/ <—although she hasn’t updated the actual story in forever. When she publishes the book, I’m pre-ordering.

@patg7590 What’s the demonoid site about?

Jeruba's avatar

@steve6, as real dictionaries go, not especially. When I am serious I use the hard-copy OED, big Webster’s, American Heritage, and others. But as online dictionaries go, I like it well enough, and I am used to its convenience. I consult it often, even though my vocabulary is fairly reliable.

The world is your encyclopedia when you have Google, as long as you can discriminate between good-quality information and B.S.

steve6's avatar

I have my doubts about Wikipedia.

patg7590's avatar

@steve6 what about it?
Those are just my torrent sites

Jeruba's avatar

It is reasonable to doubt Wikipedia. But as long as you keep those doubts in mind, you are cautious about how much you rely on it and for what, and you verify your information, it is an excellent resource.

steve6's avatar

@patg7590 I was just curious what the site was about because I wasn’t familiar with it. When someone asks you a question do you normally ask them the same question as a response? I’m sorry if I was unclear.

patg7590's avatar

oh-sorry-I didn’t understand your question

At first I thought that you were asking just that but then I thought: “Why did he ask-whats the demonoid site about?” instead of:” whats piratebay/demonoid/isohunt/mininova sites about”

So I defaulted to just asking haha

sorry if I cam off as rude

Lurve

It did sound kind of like “What’s up with that crap”. Sorry

http://last.fm – I’ve found so many great artists via Last.fm
http://daringfireball.net – John Gruber seems to think like I do
http://vimeo.com – Merlin Mann needs to record some more Most Days
http://reddit.com – I also check out Digg, but I think I like Reddit more
http://blip.fm – I’ve been spending more time on Blip recently, it’s a brilliant idea and the integrated player is great

Flickr is a lot of fun when I have a lot of spare time and fancy just photo browsing. I’ve also had some awesome ideas for API mashups that I need to will into reality.

iStockphoto is another site I actually happily spend hours browsing even if I’m not looking to buy anything; some of the illustrations and vector art (particularly when I’m browsing someone’s portfolio – check out Simon Oxley) are suhweet.
