No, this isn’t a meme, I’m just wondering something.
What are your favourite web applications and/or websites – specifically, the ones you use very regularly. I’m not looking to identify things like Facebook or MySpace – or even Blogs.
I’m just trying to get a handle on the kind of thing that people are using regularly, or the kind of place that we’re regularly visiting.
My own are – in alphabetical order:
Bloglines
HSBC
iGoogle
Mail2web
Meebo
Nationwide
Sitemeter

A bunch of things that come in my RSS feeds reader and aren’t blogs or webcomics, including French and American and local news (Libération, Le Monde, NYT…), and work-related news, and a few more work-related places that I won’t list here because it’ll bore you to death.

Are you seeing a theme yet?! There are lots more similar to those which I check in on every day also, but I don’t want to jam up your blog with Clarkson!
Then there’s real life which involves banks, catalogues, supermarkets, etc… so I can try & keep ontop of the daily financial headache.
There are also lots of random sites I visit on my journey through the world of OU TMAs!!
Gumpher: Thanks. (Gwlad? Thats brilliant!)
Colin: Thanks and welcome.
Citronella: Thank you.
JezzaBelle: If anyone suggests you need help for your Jezza Clarkson fixation, you refer them to me and I’ll sort them out for you. 🙂
You’ll have a very long queue of referred people outside your cyber door LOL!!
I like to call it an obsession myself ;o)
