Extra Extra Read All About It!
Interested to know what websites people frequent for work, business, news, investing, politics, sports or entertainment - but to the point that they just cant do without it, SERIOUSLY. Besides the obvious, WSO, here are a few off the top of my head....
www.economist.com (best written biz-pub period)
www.espn.go.com (self explanatory)
www.nymag.com (their picks/reviews are just golden)
http://news.bbc.co.uk (you want unbiased US news, this is where its at)
http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com (my preferred insider mtge website)
www.dealbreaker.com (hysterical w/s gossip - the user comments are the best)
www.howstuffworks.com (i can read this site for hours)
www.sciam.com (when you get that technical scientific crave)
www.dictionary.com (dont hate, Im a 700+ verbal SAT, love the thesaurus too)
www.yelp.com (my crosscheck for citysearch)
www.chowhound.com (for serious foodies out there)
www.pitchforkmedia.com (best review site for indie music)
www.stylusmagazine.com (my review site for general music)
www.metacritic.com (best comprehensive review site - I use it for film)
www.ohmyrockness.com (best indie rock concert website ive found)
www.notcot.org (w/ several linked sites for ideas/pics on art/food/lifestyle/clothes)
I have more, but that probably jump starts it....Where do you go to get your fix?

Hm
gawker.com, jezebel.com, people.com, thesuperficial.com (those are my go tos on a daily basis).
I also don't have time to pick up nytimes/wsj in the morning, so I just read it at work, online. And, cnn for those ridiculous stories.

Not websites that I would normally frequent, but I did say hit me with your best shot. I like it. Admit, I have been to gawker before...and merely heard of the others, but thesuperficial is new to me. I did check it out though and it was just flat out, absolutely fkg hilarious. ha ha. And of course some of those female celeb pics were righteous. Might have to add that to the rotation to break the monotony of the weekdays. Thanks, HerSerendipity!

to those of you that did so far...I know this is not as terribly exciting as an ad hominem post or some other controversial topic, but does anyone have any other fave sites for anything?
I offer up a few more...these are economic sites that I recently stumbled upon and found interesting - ranging from serious and theoretical to everyday and slightly comical:

And again thanks to HerSerendipity for "thesuperficial.com" reco - that site is absolutely fkg hysterical.
