I need new websites to visit

Cringer · 07-24-2009, 04:02 AM

Ok, so over the last couple of weeks I have decided I am in a rut online. I go to the same website all the time and want something new to check out. Sure, searching for "this or that" takes me to different sites every day, but that is usually a one time thing. FARK and my other news sites, the three or so boards I frequent, Facebook, Twitter, a couple tech sites, a couple sports sites.....that is what I am stuck in.

So if you got some sites you visit regularly that I (or others) may like, please toss them out for me to try. Don't worry about what I like, just throw out what you like unless it's porn of course.

Julio Riddols · 07-24-2009, 04:38 AM

Sounds like you need to try Stumble.

hxxp://www.stumbleupon.com/

EDIT: Its like Pandora for web browsing.

That's true, web pron is such a personal thing

I use My Way as my home page, have since not long after they launched. Easily my favorite portal site ever, due to the lack of ads, unwanted video crap, and customization options.

For my 80's metal info, I like Sleaze Roxx: Your 80's hard rock and heavy metal resource. , an aggregator with a decent amount of original content.

For info relevant to media buyers I hit Media Life Magazine , headlines from a variety of categories every day spun from the perspective of buyers of TV, radio, outdoor, out-of-home, and other forms of mass media.

I have tried it before and didn't like it for some reason. I guess I might as well give it a try again.

I was excited when I saw it posted. I used it a little this morning and so far I'm underwhelmed.

I think the problem is that Pandora is limited to, you know, legit releases. This has every tom, dick, and harry website out there.

cuervo72 · 07-24-2009, 09:58 AM

You need Subby to hook you up. He is the master of the new digital media age.

DataKing · 07-24-2009, 10:02 AM

Some humor-oriented sites I frequent:

Ctrl+Alt+Del
Engrish.com
Funnyjunk - Funny Pictures and Funny Videos
http://www.giantitp.com/Comics.html (check out The Order of the Stick if you've ever played D&D)

sovereignstar · 07-24-2009, 10:37 AM

read a book, hippie.

Cringer · 07-24-2009, 10:39 AM

eh, I have only been reading books while on the toilet lately.

MrDNA · 07-24-2009, 12:17 PM

I always check deadspin and Big League Stew for sports news.

Cracked.com often has good humor.

Front Office Foo... er... here.

Subby · 07-24-2009, 12:35 PM

Here is cuervo's favorite web site: Grumpy Dwarf Personality

I am a huge OOTS fan. But it is not really a daily read since the comic is only updated once or twice a week.

True.

Schmidty · 07-24-2009, 01:32 PM

I like stumbleupon when I'm really bored. I never understand the complaints about the sites that pop up, because it doesn't take much effort to hit "stumble" again. If you hit the button more than 3-4 times and still don't find something interesting, you are either very unlucky, or very limited in what entertains you.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 07-24-2009, 02:55 PM

As a warning, Barstool Sports is borderline SFW. Those kinds of pictures could get you boxed here at FOFC

DanGarion · 07-24-2009, 03:27 PM

There is always Powered by Dan but all I usually do is regurgitate what I find on the internet anyway.

What we really need to start doing is sharing each others Google Reader feeds through their new options...

tarcone · 07-24-2009, 04:53 PM

Toadssuck.com

Thats my favorite site

RainMaker · 07-24-2009, 04:57 PM

Deadspin, Sports News without Access, Favor, or Discretion
http://www.wonkette.com

Those are a couple blogs I check out on an almost daily basis.

Julio Riddols · 07-25-2009, 02:37 AM

Once you go in and set up your "interests" on Stumble, the site selection gets a lot more consistent and you stumble across a lot more sites you end up spending more time on.

I also like that your favorite sites are all saved on your stumble profile rather than having to add hundreds of new sites to your favorites menu.

It took me a while to get down to really enjoying it as well, but for fits of boredom, its a savior now.

With that and the Last.fm toolbar, which is pretty much Pandora, but loaded in your browser, and its not limited as to how long it will play before you need to tell it you are still there and listening. I just leave it on most of the day and check the top of the browser when I hear a song I dig.

Julio Riddols · 07-25-2009, 02:40 AM

And here is one of my fave sites: hxxp://www.jonesbigasstruckrentalandstorage.com/ If you remember the Montgomery flea Market ads, these are in that vicinity of funny.

k0ruptr · 07-25-2009, 03:04 AM

wow I actually was slightly entertained at Zombo.com

Matthean · 07-25-2009, 09:56 AM

The Art of Manliness

A rather good daily read. It's a guy's site that doesn't flood you with half dressed women.

Tiphnie · 07-25-2009, 11:57 AM

Lolcats ‘n’ Funny Pictures of Cats – I Can Has Cheezburger?
LOLcats, LOLdogs and the fail blog. Its one of those sites I check daily.

Or how about Sporcle.com:
mentally stimulating diversions for fun quizzes, with new ones added daily.

Or hxxp://www.textsfromlastnight.com
I'm gonna catagorize this one as NSFW but not because of pictures. Its just random funny texts that people submit, whether real or not its some funny stuff.

Now that I think of it...I think there is a thread here somewhere about that site.

terpkristin · 07-25-2009, 02:06 PM

I enjoy You Suck at Craigslist | Exactly what it says on the tin.

Other things in my "daily grind" bookmark folder:

Ctrl+Alt+Del
Penny Arcade! - Escalation, Part One
PHD Comics: Coming back from vacation
RCRD LBL | Free MP3 Downloads
http://techmeme.com/
Sign In to The Sword and Laser - The Sword and Laser

And from my Google Reader subscriptions, some of the more "mainstream" pages I read regularly (i.e. non-crafty or super-niche):
Ars Technica
http://www.boingboing.net/ (very hit or miss for me)
Cake Wrecks
The Consumerist: Shoppers Bite Back
Engadget
FAIL Blog: Pictures and Videos of Owned, Pwnd and Fail Moments
Gamers With Jobs
kottke.org - home of fine hypertext products
NASA Watch | NASA news, space exploration, policy, budgets, commercial space, congress and much more
TED Blog
The Blogs at HowStuffWorks
The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks
xkcd - A Webcomic - Woodpecker
The Escapist : Video Galleries : Zero Punctuation

So yeah, hopefully in that list you'll find something interesting. Or at least amusing.
