Websites: The “Essentials”
TIME has a special featuring the top 10 websites we can’t live without. In order,
What, no WMB!? 
And what about my trusty weatherman or any of the big news outlets, like CNN? Seems TIME’s list is coming up short. What websites make up your “essentials” list?

People can still get weather info from the Weather Channel? Last time I checked, they had given themselves over to the Goreacle and the global warming nonsense. I prefer to get my weather info from Accuweather. My regulars include Powerline, Wizbang, WMB, Real Clear Sports, ESPN, FOX News, and Lucianne.

YouTube, Snopes, flylady, IMDB, PBS Kids and of course WMB. Along with my bank the library and my email account this is my bookmark list.

I’m with KBells. I need Youtube and IMDb up there!!
I tend to use Google News rather than any particular news station/carrier.
I only use 3 out of the top 10. (Wikipedia, Facebook and Google).
Report comment to moderator
Right… I can see Google and Wikipedia but the rest? No way.
Report comment to moderator
The only on that list that I regularly visit are Wikipedia and ESPN…and by regularly I mean several times a day.
My “essentials” not on the list are Drudge, Pandora, IMDb, and a dozen blogs (news, sports, and personal).

I’m with John V. I’ve never been to the others.

Sonoma County Library Catalog
King FM
Dictionary.com
Bible Gateway
Report comment to moderator
BibleGateway was a good idea, as well as Dictionary.com. Then Google and WMB.
JSTOR, when available and needed.
I don’t use the rest.

And also MLB.com-I get to watch all the out of market games of my favorite team, the Yankees, which I can’t get on local tv.
Report comment to moderator
OK, add mlb to my top 10, since I put google in twice. It’s too early for thinking.

No eBay or YouTube?
Unbelievable.
I’d add Woot.com, TinyURL. PCPitstop, and Computing.net to that list also. (Snopes is a good one.)
If I get more into building computers I’ll probably add NewEgg.com to that too.
Report comment to moderator
Oh, and what about Amazon? How did that not make the top ten?

Went to wikipedia to learn about an amazing fellow named William Alexander Morgan. He helped bring Castro to power and even held rank in the rebel army. (Was later executed when he became disillusioned with Castro) There was another American born guy down there who wound up running one of Castro’s gulags.
The things you learn on wiki!!

Report comment to moderator
The only one on the list that I use regularly is Google. I’ve been to Craig’s list about 3 times and wikipedia maybe a couple more than that.
I use noaa.gov (weather.gov) for my weather – direct from the National Weather Service. At least they are in the state (about 150 miles away) instead of way over on the east coast and seem to understand that I live in a desert. I quit checking accuweather because of all the junk they put on your computer. Their weather forcasts weren’t any better than weather.com anyway.
Yes, I would add WMB, of course.

Ok this is frustrating. My posts keep disappearing and I’m not even trying to post a link or anything. Let’s see if this post works.
Report comment to moderator
So that worked. Now this:
My list of websites:
Yahoo, Google, Youtube, Wikipedia, Biblegateway, Christian Cinema, Let’s Go Tribe, Indians.com, Fox Sports, and WMB.

Apparently I wasn’t supposed to put my sites in a numbered list like Kristin did.
Report comment to moderator
I can’t live without Yahoo Finance, and nobody else has mentioned it?
Important:
IMDB, bank, brokerage, credit cards
weather underground, WMB, VirtueOnline
Also:
Amazon
Never heard of:
Yelp, TMZ
Report comment to moderator
Drudge should definitely be on the list.

google, amazon.com (for publication info on a book as much as anything, when I’m editing and an author leaves something out), mapquest, weather.com, WMB, the Cyber Hymnal, half.com, FOX news, Bible Gateway, and a couple of yahoo writers’ groups

World on the Web, of course.
Google (iG, Docs, gmail, notebook, groups, Reader, etc) because every time I go there my stock increases .0000001 cents per share.
JSTOR, when the fear of paper cuts is insurmountable.
Amazon, although a piece of my indie-bookstore-loving soul dies with each purchase I make.
plato.stanford.edu for great philosophy summaries.
lifehacker.com, because you can save a year of your life by using keyboard shortcuts.
pluggedinmag.com, so I know what I’m getting myself into at the movies.
and of course, who could forget eharmony.com … j/k
