    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?

    Mine goes in order of:
    Boards

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,347 ✭✭✭Closed ac


    MSN
    Facebook
    Boards
    YouTube
    Wikipedia
    And.. er.. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭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......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,164 ✭✭✭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 :p)
    7. Twitter

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

    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!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    Standard things like Gmail, boards, Wikipedia, comics, odd bit of YouTube.

    After that I just read whatever I find.

    5. Vogue - <3 Vogue, great site for everything fashion wise.
    6. Ticketmaster - I love checking to see if anything exciting has been announced.

    Mine would go in order of:

    - Three or four different forums
    - Various music blogs
    - Boards
    - Gmail
    - Last.fm
    - hypem.com
    - All Music Guide
    - Wikipedia

    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. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭patwicklow

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    It'd probably be something like
    MSN
    Facebook
    Boards
    Vodafone (probably worst website ever but I'm too poor to afford credit)
    Youtube
    Bebo (go on the odd time to see what's going on)

    And then random sites like mlia, tumblr, flickr and what not...

    Itunes is always on if that counts?
