Sharing Favorite Websites

#1 Post by fkelly » Tue Dec 25, 2007 12:05 pm

I am a "finding new websites" junkie. Below for your viewing pleasure are a couple.

www.hulu.com. This is a streaming TV shows site and is still in the beta stage but looks like to be the way of the future. I signed up to beta test about a month ago and recently got an email to sign up. Ever since I have been watching Hills Street Blues to my hearts content.

Secondly and my most favorite is www.netvibes.com. Netvibes serves as my homepage on steroids. I set up about 6 tabs and each tab has about 8 or so websites. For example I have 1 tab set as news and within that page I have about 8 different news sites I look at daily.
At first pass, this site looks a bit overwhelming, but it is really just a lot of dropping and dragging and once you get the hang of it, you will be filling it up pretty durn quickly.

So anyone want to share your great sites you check out daily, hourly.

Well, Blogs aside, I like these a lot:

Good Deals:

www.woot.com 1 deal per day...
www.slickdeals.com really good deals sometimes but you need to be quick!

Movies and Tv:

www.alluc.org watch tv and movies online without downloading them. (I have seen some while they were still playing in theater. There are some that are multi-part movies on youtube or dailymotion too)

Web Comics:

www.ctrlaltdel-online.com
www.vgcats.com
www.penny-arcade.com
www.cortlandcomic.com

hey kosse, the miltary site is pretty interesting. I had to pause my scrubs tv show and started to check it out. I can see that I will need alot more time to check thru it carefully...
I skipped the miltary as a youth but always wanted to know the real deal and this stuff kinda answers alt of questions.

Thanks for adding to my growing collection of bookmarked sites.

I had not registered and I can watch it. I don't think you need to but some sites they have used are either crap or really slow loading. Sometimes if they use VEOH, you only get a 5 min preview unless you register for VEOH (not free if I remember correctly)

Wow, this looks like a great site! Thanks Mikey. I just downloaded an episode of Stargate Atlantis that I missed.

I follow those sites because I love military techonology and history. I did my time (1 year) as a conscript and that was enough. Being there sucks but being an armchair commando is fun :lol:

Another good site and a high quality forum with some very knowledgeable people:

ALLUC is a really good site. I watched a lot of movies there (including the Simpons movie!) for free (Though I did buy it on DVD!). They also have TV shows which is great when your bored to just toss on a TV show like MythBusters!
