What websites you follow?
on: March 16, 2013, 10:09:10 am
What websites do you follow regularly? Share with others, maybe we can pick up new interesting websites to follow.

Mine are as follows:
- http://anandtech.com/
- http://www.digitoday.fi/
- http://io9.com/
- http://kotaku.com/
- http://www.mtv3.fi/
- http://muropaketti.com/
- http://www.neowin.net/
- http://slashdot.org/
- http://taskumuro.com/
- http://www.tietoviikko.fi/
- http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/
- http://torrentfreak.com/
- http://yle.fi/
Some of those are obviously finnish sites.

Any method of following is fine, such as twitter, facebook, rss/atom feeds, etc and old-fashioned direct visiting.

A lot of webcomics, like Dilbert, Garfield, US Acres and Everyday Heroes. Also plenty of military ones, for example Terminal Lance, Broadside (along with Greenside), American Airman and Air Force Blues. A bunch of forums (HLP, Bohemia Interactive, KSP, UFO:AI, Terminal Lance forums), TV Tropes (I know, I know) and FSMods.

I **** around lots on Tumblr and HLP. I 'follow' ModDB, but I despise most of the modding community there, as it appears a lot of people on ModDB are prone to unnecessary drama and whining, so I only really go there for mods + images of stuff. I browse Imgur every now and then, but I don't really follow it. I also watch lot's of videos, so Youtube is a place I commonly visit.

I've stopped buying Lego because it's still expensive to buy lots of it, but I've never forgotten it, so I visit MOCpages as well, and occasionally check out Flickr. For the same reasons, I browse WH40K stuff there as well.

Also, since I'm apparently a 'fan' of bad fanfiction and laugh at stupid/badly-written fanfiction, I tend to go to Fanfiction.net for laughs. And on the plus side, an actually decent/pretty good fanfic will show up!  :nervous:

There's some other places I used to frequent pretty often, but most of them have dissolved into gigantic ****storms, so I don't really go to them anymore.  :nono:

YouTube for Let's Plays and videos of liberal and conservative pundits with ridiculous stances.

at home, not much.  a few forums and facebook.  occasionally go on a youtube journey, usually started by a link on a forum.  i don't subscribe to anyone, ever.  the lone exceptions are 3 people who are fans of a couple of the same bands as me and have recorded concerts or put up rare live videos.  none of them have put anything up in years though, and one of them in fact passed away.

back when i was on 2nd or 3rd shift though, explosm, xkcd, and failblog were my go-to sites for time killing.  failblog in particular killed the most time.  not because of content, but because of the slow internet speed and inability to use adblock.

At this point I have no clue as to how you people stay informed what is happening in the world. Most of you don't seem to follow any particular news sites of any genre.

Follow? I don't really follow any sites.

Unless you count webcomics, of which there are many.
I also read cracked.com, and watch their videos.
And Youtube, where I have a number of subscriptions, though I don't really watch all of their things. Mostly gaming and science-y channels like Vsauce, MinutePhysics, CGPGrey, TotalHalibut, Nerd3, and stuff.
I get almost all of my news here in GenDisc, from Yahoo!, or Twitter.

the internet isn't the only source of news.  but it IS the largest source of news i don't give a flying **** about, so therefore i avoid it.

well, i take that back.  one of my coworkers is the biggest source of news i don't give a flying **** about.  but i can't turn him off.

Shockingly enough, there are still these things called "television" and "newspapers" in the year 2013. :p Even with those aside, though, I find that having my homepage still set to the old Comcast landing page (even though we haven't used them for years) gives me enough of the top AP stories to generally know what's going on.
