Daily rotation of sites

[Blitzkrieg]

What do you guys usually check everyday? I am in the hunt for a good new music news site, as Blabbermouth is the only one I have ever really used, and whilst it isn't bad, it is a little narrow with it's coverage. Anyone else have any good ones, or just any sites in general that get a recommendation?

 

[Shadow298]

I've got a huge list of sites I check every day.
have a strict order which I go through in the morning, starting with http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and all the sites along the link bar (graph jam and fail blog mostly) then onto http://pictureisunrelated.com/, http://thisisphotobomb.com/, http://www.comixed.com/, http://hawtness.com/, http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/, http://autocompleteme.com/ and finally http://epicwinftw.com/

also regular on facebook, Deviant Art and this forum plus http://www.kotaku.com.au/ and http://www.gizmodo.com.au/

I got left to right across my bookmark bar, which means: Maiden Downunder, Reddit, Hacker News, Facebook, Gmail, Google Reader.

I'm not going to tell you how many feeds I have in Google Reader.

 

[Sydo]

17?

 

[phlogiston]

No.

These 2 are awesome. Still a couple there I haven't looked at yet as well.

I have the LORD forum as my start page and I'm on that pretty much all day modding/answering questions, etc., I have Blabbermouth as a Live Bookmark in Firefox and check the headlines a few times a day, Facebook, personal MySpace, Google Calendar, LORD Site Stats, and a few other forums usually like this one, Metal Rules, Omnia HD forum, Cakewalk forum, and the /b/ board at 4chan 'cos it's fucked up and good for the lulz.

That's pretty much the regular stuff, I think. Probably pretty useless for discovering new music, to be honest.

 

[TinMan666]

i'm a bit ashamed to admit some of mine hahaha

facebook about a million times, myspace a handful of times, propeller.com for news + web marketing purposes, fmylife.com & textsfromlastnight.com for the lulz, thesuperficial.com & thedirty.com for no justifiable reason, and news.com.au. oh and the tv guide haha. I think that's all. Oh and of course here and the blaze forum.

ahh fuck there goes the rest of my day!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Mine are here, facebook all day, Blabbermouth, myspace once every day or so, Melband.com.au most days, news.com.au, my local news site, often look at seek.com.au just for fun, postsecret once a week, ebay fairly regularly when I have stuff on the go.

textsfromlastnight.com is great, I haven't looked in ages!

 

[Spiff]

In order:

news.com.au (my homepage)
Facebook and Twitter (open them both at the same time)

And then I go to various film blogs, plus Blabbermouth. During the NRL season I look at rugby league news sites.

Not much apart from that.

 

[KoichCPA]

Either kayak fishing forums or snowboarding websites. Winter I also include league sites.

The only music site I frequent is btjunkie but I'm pretty sure you don't want that one Blitzy.

 

[Mark]

Mine are pretty boring, other than MD: Maiden Downunder, gmail, twitter, daringfireball.net (mac site), kottke.org, cynical-c.com, kungfugrippe.com, BBC News

I don't actually visit any music news sites :-\

About a dozen different parrot- and photography-related forums
More developer blogs like hanselman.com, blogs.devexpress.com and haacked.com than I'd care to ever count

If I get really bored:
cracked.com
albinoblacksheep.com
last.fm
ikeahacker.blogspot.com
xkcd.com
dilbert.com
fmylife.com

and depending on what I'm working on at the time, more specific dev forums like ASP.NET, MSDN, and Ogre3D.

As far as finding new music, I still mostly rely on IRC for recommendations. If I find someone with a list of things I mostly like I'll check out a couple random songs from bands I haven't heard of. Last.fm is getting a lot better for recommendations as the user base grows.

Give that a try if you want to kill some time. It starts getting tricky around level 10.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Awesome game! I got stuck on around level 17.

 

[Winmar]

Well until yesterday I hadn't been on a computer this year, but when in normal mode here are my main sites:

MD, Lord forum, Toffeeweb.com for Everton news, FB, Yahoo Mail, gmail, evertonfc.com.au, www.theage.com.au.

 

[salty]

OzProg.com forums
Brismetal.com forums
JordanRudess.com forums
MikePortnoy.com forums
Facebook and Twitter
News.com.au
Here

That's my usual journey through sites. I used to have more shit but I've just migrated to a new iMac and haven't added the billions of mostly useless bookmarks I used to have.

 

[Spiff]

I'm stuck on 21 in that continuity game thing.

 

[Southy]

I check here, Ozprog, Brismetal and that's about it, my life on the internets is pretty boring these days, hell I hardly post anywhere but here now too I think
