www.livejournal.com My favorite 'journaling' site; don't journal much myself these days, but I use it to keep up with friends who live all over the state

www.myspace.com Use it to keep in touch with old friends, family members, people I went to school with, and my favorite bands

www.ebay.com I can't stay away. I sell and I bid and sometimes just spend hours browsing for nothing in particular

www.constantchatter.com Message boards started by a group of girls, covers a very wide range of topics, but I can only handle it in small doses

www.msn.com To keep up to date on the day's news and finding interesting things to click on and read about

www.ingdirect.com I'm obsessed with how much interest my $ accumulates compared to my old Wamu account

 

commonly visited sites are blogger.com and a whole bunch of science links.

<a href=\'http://wikipedia.org\' target=\'_blank\'>wikipedia.org</a>, despite it's recent bad press, has more information about more topics than can be imagined. You can add to the online body of wisdom, just sign up.

I just heard a scientist on NPR's Science Friday show (sorry, I don't remember his name) who found that the Wiki and Encyclopedia Britanica had about the same error rate, three small errors per article. Neither is definitive, both are a good place to start on most topics.

And the Wiki is translated into many languages, over 850,000 in English. Take a look at the entry for <a href=\'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prius\' target=\'_blank\'>Prius</a> and see what you think.

 

Try http://www.stumbleupon.com

You have to join, but its harmless. They provide a tool bar that will send you to random web sites that you would have never stumbled upon on your own! It's a real hoot when you don't have anything better to do.
They are not raw or racy sites, but rather just generally a lot of fun!

Warning: It can be additive. But I don't have to tell PriusChat folks that! :lol:

Pretty good for finding addresses and telephone numbers and even DOBs. IIRC, IsrAmeriPrius posted a link to this site months ago. Not as good as it once was but still rather effective.

 

I use to recommend http://home.earthlink.net/~graham1/MyToyot...PriusFrames.htm to other wanting to see the inner workings of the Prius. Its dead now. Anyone know why or if its moved where. Is there an alternative?

www.airliners.net

Hundreds of thousands of pictures of airplanes, but when you go to the forum, it's usually a slugfest between the Boeing v. Airbus crowd.

It's sometimes funny to read how devoted they are to airplanes, "I won't fly an Airbus 320-400," or "The seat pitch on the Boeing 777-200 is awful!"
