I am constantly on the internet. Whether it is for school or recreational use, I pretty much spend about half my day on the internet. I have been exposed to a ton of different sites, and I have come up with five of my favorites (not including YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, etc.) These are not in any specific order.
1. Yahoo! Sports is probably the website that I use the most. It pretty much provides me with most of the sporting information that I need (since I want to be a sportswriter). If you are interested in sports, I would like to point out that my favorite columnist on there is Dan Wetzel. The organizational quality of the website is very good, and it makes it easy to navigate. My favorite part about it is the ability to establish a Yahoo! Account, and then register your favorite teams. Then whenever you open up the Yahoo! Sports mainpage it shows all of your favorite teams on the right scoreboard. It is extremely useful for the fast access to scores from your favorite teams.
2. Scout.com and Rivals.com
These are essentially recruiting databases for college teams. Since I'm a sportswriter and avid watcher, I constantly find myself using these sites to get updated information about college football and college basketball recruits. They become much more useful if you want to pay to subscribe to their sites. This opens up videos and hundreds of articles about all the different high school players. Rivals.com also puts out a weekly update on the rankings of the different players currently in college. It's always nice to look at and see some Crimson Tide players in there.
3. Gamefaqs.com
Yes, Game FAQs is one of the better video game sites out there. My favorite features include the polls, contest, reviews, forums, and gaming help. If you need help on a video game or want to see what people are saying about video games, then this is definitely a site to use. It is also registered as my homepage because I love their polls and contests.
4. mugglenet.com and Veritaserum.com
Since I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, I am constantly looking for new information about the books and movies. These sites are both great because they provide polls, news, forums, trivia, and just about anything else that you can think of. If you are a fan of the books or the movies, you should definitely check out these sites.
5. Lids.com
As some of you may have noticed, it is hard to find me not wearing a hat. I have a large assortment of them, and I constantly find myself needing more. Stores just don't provide a large enough selection for my taste, so I turn to this website. Lids.com has just about every kind of hat that a person could ever need, and it earns its place as my favorite online shopping website
I also like:
www.amazon.com
www.espn.com
www.edsbs.com
espn.go.com/dickvitale/index2.html
These are only some of the many websites that I enjoy.
