What sites do you check compulsively?

glimpster

Digg
Reddit
Macrumors
Slashdot
Engadget
Huffington Post

That's normal, right?

Li_Akahi

This one, Kotaku, and Facebook.

Nuri

This one.

Used to be some others, but I cut them out in preparation for law school:
LJ
Ravelry
Gaia
DeviantArt
Etsy
Twitter

Rezz

Facebook
Twitter
Newgrounds
DeviantART
And this is becoming one of them...


By the way, my deviantART is Rezztd. I have some really high quality photos, with hilarious comments. It's a double-whammy.

Funfetus

Honestly, pretty much only this one. I think that says a lot about this forum. I'm trying to wean myself off this, too. (But only the "compulsive" part.)

Sail

This, Facebook, two other forums. I've got Digsby to tell me if anything happens on any other site.

Dkong

This forum, another forum I'm part of, facebook, and whatever I have on my google reader.

Geo

This one, my Facebook, my Twitter, my Flickr, Kotaku, Slashdot, and more that I forget at the moment.

...

I check Google Reader throughout the day for updates and stuff I ignored before. Then there's also this forum, though I could condense this into Google Reader too anyway.

Google Reader
Facebook
Twitter
Gmail

chaosof99

Google Reader, YouTube (subscriptions), various forums on the internet.

sK0pe

Geeknights forum
Facebook
Everything else comes in via RSS feeds or Twitter which I access via a Firefox plugin.

Apreche

None anymore.

I check Fark and Slashdot each morning, and again in the evening, for the news. I hit this forum a few times a day. Otherwise, that's it.

Don't fall into the serotonin trap: don't check websites constantly, and don't let your pull RSS feeds become effectively push.

I don't think any of that counts as "compulsively". I read google news, engadget, kotaku, boingboing, and hackerne.ws twice a day each, and then also check collegehumor videos and cinemassacre.com in the living room while I eat dinner.

I guess depending on your interpretation I might be checking my Gmail and this forum "compulsively" but I treat the forum more like e-mail. I don't keep going to check it constantly. It's just open all the time.

Facebook and Twitter for me all day. At work, I'll check Joystiq, Slashdot, Dvorak Uncensored, and Slog (for Seattlites) when bored. This forum is quickly becoming another one during work, which does say a lot since I generally can't stand forums.

That Guy With The Glasses
You Tube

My Blog on Live Journal

Mr. Eric

Wikipedia (Far and away my most visited site). If I start getting bored, I'll sometimes habitually type in wikipedia in the address bar even though I'm already there.
Google and Yahoo Finance
YouTube
Omgle, AniceChat

Axel

This
GameFAQs
Facebook
Twitter

I check them whenever I get onto the internet, and then at random spurts while I'm surfing if I'm bored.

That's about it.

It's funny that this thread was posted on this day. Today I tried my best to avoid internet use entirely. As a result, I got a lot of work done. Hopefully this is a list of the past.

I'm surprised by the lack of Fark...

Mine pretty much are
Fark
Huffingtonpost
Drudgereport
Kotaku

At home I check Facebook and Twitter occasionally.

Andrew

Sites I spend a relatively significant amount of time:
Here
Hacker News
-Hacker News is probably the best programmer focused news aggregator on the web. It's focused around Paul Graham's venture capital business Y Combinator, which funds web start ups. I've found the discussions more enlightening than ./ (not to mention the interface is significantly better). For example, this is one of the best discussions on Lisp I've read.

I don't visit many sites manually, so I'll go through my feeds.

Skeptic Feeds
-Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy
-Science Based Medicine
-Neurologica
-Atheist Media (tons of great interviews, documentaries, and hilarity)
-Pharyngula (Hail Cthulu)

Gaming
-Kotaku
-Quel Solaar News Feed
-Indiegames.com Blog
-Penny Arcade

Coding
-lbrandy.com
-Programming Praxis (Great site with daily coding challenges. Great for improving your skills)
-Coding Horror

Miscellaneous
-Food Wishes (Great recipies)
-Kill the Captains

Admiral Hotcakes

This and a couple other forums
YTMND
YouTube
Kotaku
Facebook

And, because I'm an idiot and haven't set up a reader yet, all the webcomics I read.

WindUpBird

What reader does everyone use? I have a new laptop and am looking for one that is decidedly not poop.
