Daily Obsessions
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 by Hazel Gibson
Hi 314,
I was thinking today about how I (usually) never go more than a few hours without using the internet to check my emails, visit certain sites etc. Some of the websites I use daily fulfil basic communicative functions (for example email and social networking sites like Facebook) whilst others are vacuous indulgences that for the most part don’t add any value to my life, yet I find myself going back to time and time again. I'm sure this sounds pretty familiar to you all?
So just for interest’s sake, leave a note in the comments section with a list of the websites you visit religiously. You’ll probably learn quite a bit about the other people in your class just from the sites they visit!
To start us off, here's the sites I go to every day, some of which are potentially quite embarrassing (coughPerezHiltoncough):
Gmail
Facebook
Cecil/Auckland University
textsfromlastnight.com
Vice Magazine
Perez Hilton
NZ Herald
Google
Wikipedia
BBC
cheeseontoast.co.nz
Trademe
Youtube
