You get up, brush your teeth, grab some coffee and sit down at your computer while your your brain reboots. Where do you go?
Me:
The Straight Dope, natch. BoardGameGeek, I’m an avid board game fan, they also have new releases and reviews for iPad and PC. Pocket Tactics, for iPad’s newest attempts at wargaming…they’re getting better. Facebook just to see where and when the group is meeting and doing that night. The Onion and Cracked just for kicks. The HUffington Post just to see the scandal of the day.
First thing is check bank balances, although now I use the phone.
Check my call stats from previous day, sometimes I use the tab.
Catch up on Words with Friends, that’s on the tab.
Then it’s a toss up between here and Facebook. I seldom post on Facebook, I just look to see if anything important is happening. Quick browse through here to see if anything looks exciting.
Log in to work.
Come back here to browse.alternating with playing Words with Friends in between calls.
Play a few games of 5 Card Slingo.
All while watching TV.
I need to stop playing, the call center wants me to write a few articles for their blog. I don’t have to but they will pay me.
Email and Twitter are the 2 main ones. I dont do Facebook. It is surprising how Twitter has come to be a good catch-all for what is going on. I also check a news source either CNN, NY Times or BBC. On alot of days I check Pitchfork and the AV Club for music and movie stuff.
In the morning? Mostly just the weather, plus e-mail if I have reason to suspect there might be something important in there, plus possibly one or two webcomics if I have time. Most of my webbing lately has been in the evenings.

Pretty much my day, in a nutshell, as long as I’m home. I rarely go to other pages unless I’m following a link from here or Facebook. (I also have a stack of charting on my lap, and get some actual work done in there somewhere between page refreshes.)
Gmail, Facebook, OpenDiary, MyEbay (All Selling), livejournal, Twitter, then settle in on SDMB for the day, (BBQ, MPSIMS, IMHO, GQ, CS) with the occasional check on BYB on Giraffe Boards
Facebook
Words with Friends
The Pioneer Woman
Tasty Kitchen
Cafe Society (SDMB of course)
Bank account
Publisher Clearing House mindless and fruitless entry efforts (complete waste of time of course)

SDMB is an evening affair for me during the week. Not enough time in the morning.
