Introduce me to some new websites...

[RabbieBurns]

I currently read the following, but I'm sure there are a load of great sites out there that I havent stumbled upon yet.

 

BBC News & Sport

Glasgow Herald

Sydney Morning Herald

Edugeek

Slashdot

The Register

Wired

Failbook

DamnYouAutoCorrect

 

So from the above its mainly news, tech news, and time wasting funny sites.

 

What am I missing out on?

[elsiegee40]

The Huffington Post (UK, US and Canadian versions available via drop down menu)

[Danp]

The Poke:

Ars Technica is probably the best tech site you're missing out in that lot. RockPaperShotgun is the best games site, but if you don't play PC games you won't really care

 

Lifehacker often has interesting tidbits on it as well, if you can survive the occasional hippyish tone

 

For time wasting funny sites, Cracked, but it's fairly NSFW - potty language and pictures of ladies etc., no nudity but probably not great to be seen on it in a school.

Another vote for Reddit, waste too much time on there and don't even know about half of it!

[TechMonkey]

The Register is a good UK Tech news site with its tongue firmly in cheek.

Cracked is good. Thankfully, i'm pretty much up-to-date with the articles. I haven't read it for a few weeks though...
