Websites you like to visit.

Since I spend as much time as I possibly can online I have several websites I view daily. Some of them aren’t exactly…work appropriate so I won’t include those (email me if you want links) but I still came up with a good list. What I attempted to do was include sites everyone may not know about. For example, I go to ESPN.com multiple times a day, but that’s probably the most visited sports site so I won’t include it. Catch my drift? Here is my list:

1. Hulu – They Say: ” Hulu’s mission is to help people find and enjoy the world’s premium video content when, where and how they want it. Hulu is an online video service that offers hit TV shows, movies and clips at Hulu.com and other online destination sites — all for free, anytime in the U.S. Hulu brings together a large selection of videos from more than 50 content providers, including FOX, NBC Universal, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros. and more. Users can watch current primetime TV such as The Simpsons and The Office the morning after they air, classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Married…with Children, movies like The Usual Suspects and The Big Lebowski, and clips from Saturday Night Live and other popular TV shows and movies.” I Say: Entire movies and TV shows for free? Sign me up. They do show commercials, but the maximum length of a break is 30 seconds, though most are only 15 seconds. The main reason I go here is because they have the entire series Arrested Development available to watch.
2. Original Signal -They Say: “Original Signal consists of two parts, the Single Page Aggregator pages and The frontpage(s). The SPA pages are made for fast headline scanning on subjects like Web 2.0, Technology and Internet. On the Web 2.0 signal, our visitors filter out the most popular articles which appear on this frontpage. So, are you fed up with your stressed out RSS-reader? This is the place…” I Say: This is the perfect place to start your day. You can browse tons of websites with lots of different content in about five minutes. Anything from science news to entertainment they have it all. Pages I especially enjoy reading are gadgets, web 2.0, and marketing.
3. TrailerAddict – They Say: “TrailerAddict was created for those who understand what it means to be a fan of movie trailers. Getting to the theater early on purpose, we are bound by the knowledge that trailers are (at times) better than the films they represent. TrailerAddict has been built not for those who like a good trailer now and then, but those who understand that the need to watch trailers is a state of mind. In short – you’re an addict.” I Say: This site is wonderful for me since I will watch the same movie trailers repeatedly if they are entertaining enough. Paired with Coming Soon I can damn near see an entire movie before it comes out.
4. National Public Radio – They Say: ” NPR (National Public Radio) is an internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming. A privately supported, not-for-profit membership organization, NPR serves a growing audience of 26 million Americans each week in partnership with more than 860 independently operated, noncommercial public radio stations. Each NPR Member Station serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming. With original online content and audio streaming, NPR.org offers hourly newscasts, special features and ten years of archived audio and information. ” I Say: NPR.org allows me to listen to my favorite news programs while I am doing something else online simultaneously. Stories they do are often more in depth than what you would get even on the 24 hour news networks. If you like music make sure to check out their music page. I also frequently click through to listen to On The Media. If you like what you see at npr.org you should also look at pri.org.
5. Modern Drunkard – They Say: “Are you guys for real? Yes. While there is some satire involved, we believe to the very core of our souls every word we write. Who are you? We are a group of functional alcoholics based primarily in Denver, CO. Included in our ranks are published novelists, filmmakers, English gentlemen, barflies, punk rock musicians, comedians, outright dastards and admitted boozeheads. What are your goals? To return drinking to the glorious Rat Pack/Jackie Gleason Era. How do we plan to pull it off? First we unite the International Drunkard Tribe. Then we crush our enemies. Then we take over. Then we celebrate with a never-ending series of victory keggers and self-congratulatory cocktail parties.” I Say: A magazine that speaks to my sense of humor, plus it doesn’t hurt that they published this list of things I want to accomplish before I die.

So other than this one, List 5 websites you like to visit.
