1. Ebay.

Reasoning: you want something, they got it. You got something, they want it. Anyone can use ebay. Anyone at all. No matter what your personal interest are, somehow, you can use this site.

2) Google.

Sad to say, google is king of the internet. It's uses are universal and plenty.

3) YouTube

I consider YouTube to be the next form of free speech. Is there plenty of dumb stuff? Yes. But a variety of Vlogs with decent video's stuff people do in their backyard just really appeals to me. Anyone can literally voice their opinion, regardless of how stupid, to the entire internet.

4) http://ask.yahoo.com/ - Ask Yahoo

A rarely talked about site, but the concept is that when people sit down and logically talk things out about a question, a better answer will come up than just asking one person. If you have a question, see what a group has to say.

5) Wikipedia

Quick easy answers, little research. Just don't quote them. [Smile]

6) Atomfilms/Newgrounds

Honestly? I'm a huge fan of independent creativity.

7) Amazon.com

Online shopping made simple.

8) Mapquest

Mapquest was made for people like me. I'm an idiot when it comes to directions. Mapquest hasn't failed me once. Everyone should know about this site- it saves you time and effort.

9) http://www.popsci.com/popsci/

Coolest nonfictional stuff ever. Always a good read.

10) Worth1000

Both artistic photography and manipulated photography. This is a true showcase of photoshop talent- an art you'll find no where else but online, and they have the best.

What are yours?

You've covered most of mine.

Digg.com
Is another really good site. It is a link site where user can submit stories and once a story gets enough votes it gets promoted to the front page of the site. The comment section is ok. The posters aren't that great on average, but it does feel like they are getting better.

Project Gutenberg is another great site. It has a huge archive of texts that are in the public domain. If you are looking for anything that is old enough to be out of copyright, this is a good first place to look.


Also, it's not really a site, but I would encourage anyone who doesn't already read webcomics to look into them. There are plenty of great ones out there that you will surely be able to find some you'll love. I don't know of a good place to start looking offhand, but I'm sure someone can provide that in this thread.
The ones I currently read are:
Questionable Content
Goats
The Noob
Penny Arcade

Get Firefox.com
If you don't already have firefox, you should strongly consider getting it. If you do have it, you should spend at least an hour getting the addons that make the browser much better for YOU. I particularly like "Add Bookmark Here" and "StumbleUpon." I've found my favorite websites through stumbling, and wasted many hours too. [Smile]

www.bugmenot.com
Allows you access to a lot of good websites that require logins, both purchased and free (but annoying to register at).

MIT OpenCourseWare
Features the lecture notes, syllabi, quizzes, tests, and other fun stuff from many of MIT's classes. Free learning.

e-Tutor Graphing Calculator
If you ever need a graphing calculator, and don't have one on hand...

AcademicBlogs Wiki
If you've got a subject you love, or something you've always wanted to learn more about, this wiki will lead you to blogs about the subject.

The BBC and The Economist are like the British versions of CNN/NBC/Fox and Newsweek/U.S. Weekly, except much, much better. Good places to get your news, especially if you want more than two headlines on international stuff.

Etsy
Think of it as the Amazon or eBay of hand-crafted items (and supplies!). Great selection, beautiful things, and a wonderful inspiration.


I have a bunch more, but I think that will do for now.

Woot -- one great deal per day. It's hit or miss, but I got a 250 gig HDD for 40 bucks a few months ago. Mostly techie stuff.

Fark -- is the like the Jon Stewart of internet news sites.

Stripped music has exclusive live acoustic performances of about 30 big time musicians. Content is limited, obviously, but they have new stuff every week. A great timekiller if you like popular music.

reddit - a smaller, leaner version of Digg.

Shoutcast - my favorite place to get net radio stations.

Radioparadise - hands down, the best net radio out there. Yes, even better than Pandora. Where else do they have playlists that include Bob Dylan, Beatles, Beck, The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, The Cure, U2, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sting! [Smile] (and streaming at 192kb)

Onion AV Club For unique interviews of musicians and artists by the people who brought you the Onion.

Craigslist The ultimate classified ads.

NPR and my favorite show, This American Life.

I won't repeat what's already here, so here are some additions, in no particular order:

whereis.com
Mapquest for Aussies. How many of us are there on Hatrack anyway?

Christian Science Monitor

Abebooks.com
If you are having a hard time tracking down books, this site is definitely worth a try. It saved me heaps of time and got me out-of-print things I didn't know existed, but had to have when I found them.

Google Scholar
Google for research - sometimes very useful.

deviantart.com
Art, most of which is not deviant.

kuro5hin.org
A sort of open source writing project with a distinctive subculture and a liberal tradition - see this.

Wired

And here is a website that should simply be buried and forgotten:
myspace.com

Good idea for a thread by the way, T_smith.

For your inner political junkie:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ , especially their News page.

My favorite political blogger, http://billmon.org/

http://www.glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/
Glenn's a good writer, a bit long-winded (he's a lawyer.)

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/
Had the best blog coverage of the Foley scandal as it was breaking. Multiple political bloggers on several linked sites.


The NY Times Political Navigator a comprehensive links page to government, parties, MSM, commentaries, polls, etc.

I've only been going to http://www.blognoggle.com/politics.html for a few weeks, but it's cool. Tracks the top 100 political blogs, both right and left. Gives me a chance to see the Republican talking points of the day soon after the daily memo goes out. [Razz]

Political humor:
http://www.sadlyno.com/
Delights in ripping apart right-wing bloggers and pols in a funny way. Great comments crowd, very funny.

http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/
Sometimes funny, sometimes very serious. Calls himself "Jesus' General'. Sends out tongue-in-cheek letters to right-wingers purportedly supporting but actually mocking them, often signed:
Heterosexually yours,
Gen. JC Christian, patriot
Has a great gallery of fake right-wing/Christian propaganda posters that he's made: http://atheism.about.com/od/religiousright/ig/Christian-Propaganda-Posters/index.htm

http://tbogg.blogspot.com/
Funny, well-written. Often quoted by other blogs.

For fun:
Fark.com was already mentioned I love weird news.

Reality Carnival links to weird science.

Wow. Is there a 12-step program for political junkies?

I have already gleaned a couple of helpful new sites from this thread -- thanks, all.

One that I just got from Hatrack the other day:
Project Vote Smart

My favorite Washington D.C. classical music station's Listen Live page (in case you can't find a decent classical station where you live): WGMS

Family Search (free genealogy resource)

World's Healthiest Foods -- nutritional info, recipes

IMDB.com - Sorry if someone already mentioned this, too lazy to go check - The Internet Movie Database (how did I ever live without it?), and of course Netflix.

GardenWeb. All things gardening, helpful forums.

woot
Hatrack

www.bn.com - Has a better search engine than Amazon, and gives you more options when ordering out-of-print books.

www.mlb.com - the best website of any professional sport, bar none. I especially love the streaming games.

www.pointlesswasteoftime.com - a damn funny site, with the best craption contest on the internet.

I'm at work, so I don't dare try to type it in to see if I have the address right in my head, but something like www.theunderdogs.com is a great site for downloading "abandonware" for the PC.

www.download.com is a good site for downloading other software. As far as I know it's legal and safe. It's not all free or anything, but you generally get to try stuff before you buy it.

Did I miss it or has The Onion not been mentioned? It's one of my regulars.

Also, an interesting sight for movie reviews is Plugged In Online
I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but it reviews movies for things like curse words, violent content, positive and negative aspects, and, probably controversially, spiritual aspects.

Oh, and also not for everyone, but for every college student: RateMyProfessor

homestar - actually surprised that this is the first mention

ninjai - a very cool flash animation site about a little ninja. Great animation, fantastic score and wonderful voice work. The story arc is not complete yet and it updates slowly but it is a great site.

JJ Huddle - Site dedicated to Ohio High SChool Athleteics. Great for fans, even better for coaches.

The Mat - Home of USA Wrestling. THis is the real stuff, not that crap on TV.

ESPN - Don't know what I would do without my daily fix.

ESPN is without a doubt the worst sports-news site on the internet, bar none. Buggy, ad-filled, and full of craptactular vids that load without my permission. In addition to that, most of the stuff I'd be interested in reading is subscription only content.

Si.com and cbs sportsline are both far superior, and even foxsports is a good bit better. I like the analysts at ESPN, but that site is just inaccessible at best.

Icky, agreed about mlb.com. And I don't even like baseball.

www.allmusic.com
Don't take their reviews too seriously, or the "album picks" or ratings, which often drastically contradict themselves. But think of it as IMDB for albums. If you want to know how many albums a group released, what year they were put out, what was going on at the time, where they were from, and how long the third song on their seventh album is, this is the place to look. It will even give you a fairly complete list of works written by a classical composer, and every version of every piece you're ever likely to come across. Startlingly useful.

www.sacred-texts.com
Scriptures and classical works from just about any religion you can think of.

www.npr.org/programs/asc/archives/index.html
This is one of the most useful sites ever for discovering new music. These guys just listen to whatever is coming out, and then play full tracks from their favorite albums. You can either listen to full 45-minute shows, or just browse through the artists you think sound interesting and listen to their songs. Not all of it will fit any taste, but some of it will fit every taste. And the great thing is (unlike most review sites with text descriptions and 30-second clips) you'll know exactly what to expect before you buy it. I can't even estimate how much money this site has cost me. But none of it has been wasted.

www.npr.org/programs/specials/vote/100list.html
Not as generally useful as the last one, but still endlessly entertaining. An archive of fascinating documentaries on some of the greatest American musical works of the 20th century. NPR is the greatest thing ever.

www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm
I haven't visited this site in a while, but I've found some of my all time favorite and most useful freeware utilities here.

www.artrenewal.org/
This site moves a little slow, but I've never found a bigger collection of classic artwork anywhere else. One of those sites I could browse for hours without getting bored.

Y'know, while Google's interface is spiffy, I use Yahoo Maps much more often. The sidebar options are excellent; to pick one example I use a lot, it takes two clicks to include the location of every subway stop on the map.

Speaking of gardening sites, may I suggest

www.gardensgreen.com

Its my mother-in-law's site. She can also answer most gardening questions (certified Master Gardener, and recent honor student at Gwinette University Agriculture Department)
