Top 10 Web sites you use

In My Humble Opinion
21

Some sites specifically linking to other sites:

http://www.ntk.net/
– weekly technology, humour & culture bulletin. Very sarcastic, occasionally adult content

http://www.fervent.co.uk/weblog.htm
– my own effort. Superb, although I would say that

http://www.robotwisdom.com/
– long-running listing, focussed mostly on arts, media and culture

http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/picks/
– the best thing on Yahoo; weekly picks for the UK

http://www.netsurf.com/nsd/index.html
– slow-loading bulletin

http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/
– The Guardian’s recommendations are covered in the “Web Watch” section of this

Excluding straightdope.com:

http://www.obscurestore.com
http://www.poynter.org/medianews/
http://www.ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/index.htm
http://www.salon.com
http://www.thesmokinggun.com
http://www.modernhumorist.com
http://www.adcritic.com
http://www.explodingdog.com
http://www.screenit.com

http://www.straightdope.com (That should go without saying)
http://www.brunching.com
http://www.wheresgeorge.com
http://www.hungersite.com
http://www.imdb.com
http://www.dogpile.com

Hmm…that’s not 10 yet…

Well, none of these get visited daily, but probably often enough to fill out my list:

http://avengers.4mg.com (That’s a friend’s page, so I stop by there once in a while)
http://www.bigjohnhowell.com
http://www.20q.net/index.html
http://www.snowplow.org/furiousgeorge/

Oh, [url=“http://hometown.aol.com/j040766/index.html”]here[/url=] is a somewhat unusual page, for those inclined to take a look. Veteran Dopers may already be familiar with it; it’s been posted before, but that was a long time back.

http://www.cnn.com (Much more than usual, lately.)

http://www.theonion.com (Brilliant.)

There’s also the web site at work, but that’s mostly for work-related stuff, and besides, I’m not about to tell the world that piece of information!
