Your own personal internet.

Ginja Ninja

We all use the internet for something [duh!],but I thought it might be a cool idead to talk about what other parts of the internet you use,what for,maybe even why.Something you might like to share

My top websites to use are probably:
Facebook,
Boards,
Blogger and other blog websites;I've started following a few blogs lately,it's really easy to get very into it
YouTube,I've followed a few Channels on YouTube for a good while now;sXePhil's vlog,mysteryguitarman's music videos and raywilliamjonson's =3 sketchs every now and then.

So,what does the internet mean for you?

DylanS09

Mine goes in order of:
Boards
Facebook
Youtube
Hoganstand.com

That's pretty much all I use the net for, other than googleing things!

Closed ac

MSN
Facebook
Boards
YouTube
Wikipedia
And.. er..

jumpguy

Facebook, boards, YouTube, Wikipedia, Google, BBC news (RSS feeds FTW), other news websites (BBC news is a trillion times better than the RTE news website though) around 4 or 5 random blogs, iChoonz, e-mail, MSN. That's about the bulk of it really.

That's in no particular order btw! :P

Fad

Top few:

what.cd - I check the charts a couple of times a day.

facebook.com - networking and procrastination.

xkcd.com - the lulz

ticketmaster.ie - handy for seeing when biggish gigs are announced.

youtube.com - rarely watch videos for extended periods anymore just tend to watch my subscriptions

ucd.ie - I log in quite regularly and check my mail (This'll be stopping soon for a good while!)

a few blogs - I dont actually read that many blogs anymore, really got out of the swing of it and haven't had time to go back to it. A handful of C&Hers, a couple of Irish teen ones and that's it tbh

wiki - for reading articles with tenuous links to what I'm supposed to be studying......

Konata

Apparently mine go in the following order:

1. Facebook
2. Boards.ie
3. Youtube
4. Hotmail
5. Blogger
6. UCD (you'd know I haven't been in college since March )
7. Twitter

There're some other websites which I ain't allowed to mention, for watching anime and other shizz.

Pygmalion will like this.

My ex business teacher, had us for LCVP this year, and for a report, he encouraged us to say

Boards.
Facebook.
Blogger - I love reading blogs, and I usually write a few a week.
Lookbook.nu - I really like fashion, so I have a look most days to see what people are wearing and stuff.
Amazon - Always adding books to my wish-list, and buy from there a lot.

Other than that, I Google everything, hotmail, YouTube, the usual.

Oh, and e-bay!

Davidius

After that I just read whatever I find.

I deleted all my Facebook / Bebo / Myspace accounts a while ago so they'd have ranked somewhere in the middle. Decided to liberate myself from them because I was on them too much, but all the extra time now goes into the blogs instead.

Gmail
I use it to read my email, naturally. I've also got it set up to read my UCD email though, so I don't have to use the horrible UCD email application. Then I've got all my filters set-up to automatically label, archive and star mail from different places.

Facebook
For my stalking, y' know.

Twitter
I tweeted 3 times while in a nightclub last night. I have problems.

I'm really interested in computer security and exploits so I read up on all the latest security flaws there.

I've news websites on RSS Feeds, blogs and stuff tend to be meh cause they're usually not updated often and I just check 'em once in a while.
