What cool, interesting, entertaining, or informative website do you visit? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I've been online since 1995, and lately I've began to feel a general sense of malaise when it comes to the Internet. Back in the heady days of the mid to late 90s, Netscape and other websites had places for cool new websites. It seems like that has faded, and while more information is online than ever it seems like it's harder to find unless you specifically know what you're looking for.

Right now I do the usual: email, online management of my accounts/bills, read the news (international, business, gaming, tech), mapquest, google, some shopping, apolyton, myspace...but that's about it. So what do the rest of you do to keep the Internet fresh and entertaining? What sites do you recommend? I appreciate your suggestions.

Ahh, I remember the "What's new" and "What's cool" links on the old Netscape browsers.

I generally keep Internet entertaining by visiting Apolyton, which is my home online . My other favorite place to be is Wikipedia, I really enjoy opening something random or semi-random there, and just read it, clicking on the links. It's pretty entertaining and I do get to learn tnew things.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I occasionally visit The Onion and swedish crazy sites Borr Magazine and Lakritsmannen. I also visit a free porn link site infrequently. Other than that itīs not much. E-mail and the bank mostly. Just surfing the net got extremly boring a few years back.

That's the problem with internet - it has become just as mundane as cable TV or telephone. Tell about some some new website - well, ther a re only a couple of hundres alike (poly is a speciality but I guess I don't have to tell about that - even going for some kinky perversity, there still are hundred of such places.

Being online before it became graphical, I really miss the kick of going into some of the early graphical sites - I have forgotten what the name of the pre netscape browser was, but it was really a kick to wait several minutes to get pics from a Hawaian site.

@ Dr.Z are you referring to that site with snygga bruder

Put an end to popups!

I love learning about stuff. Even if it isn't in depth knowledge. I like to have a little bit of understanding of a wide variety of subjects.

Yes many of you dispute the accuracy of wikipedia (yet no one was able to show many any factual errors in an article when I asked for it). It can be kind of general sometimes. But that's what encyclepedias are. sometimes I'm just curiuos about something, and I look them up. The other day I was curious about blackberries (and other types of berries), so I looked it up. And then I was curiuos what the difference between Jam and Jelly was. I never really knew what the difference was before.

I like www.snopes.com. I used it the other day to email my aunt who sent me one of these stupid Aspartamene health scare emails. It's all a hoax. It's amazing what people believe on the internet. Though I once believed it too . I gave up Diet Coke because of it. I was stupid back in 1998.

We all know about this one: http://www.somethingawful.com/index.htm

don't forget this one: http://www.rotten.com/

And http://dictionary.reference.com/. where I can learn what words actually mean!!

here, I can find the cheapest local gas prices: http://www.vegasgasprices.com/

some of these are local sites, but you may find them interesting, or not
