Title: Poll on Internet Usage!
Post by: Scott on March 05, 2012, 12:44:54 AM
How many web sites to you visit on a regular basis?

I remember when people would surf the web for hours, now I am moderately convinced that most people just visit certain sites and that is it.

I find that I regularly visit

GP
FB
Another forum
A news website and a few times a week a sports website.

I pretty much live on GP...usually have another browser window open for facebook. Then there is two Corvette enthusiast sites, a traditional (1920-mid 1960's) hotrod forum,Craigslist and ebay...plus email, ect... I put gp+8 but that tends to vary. When I've got a Harley, I tend to visit around an additional three harley sites, plus gun forums.
And should we count facebook "forums"/ private groups? Got a couple of those I'm on quite a bit..

I hit GP first.  Then yahoo news, then check email.  Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I check two webcomics I keep track of.  Almost every day I keep up with Jackson, TN's craigslist, computer listings.  If I need to buy something it's usually amazon.com or (for computer stuff) Tiger Direct.  And I keep up with Arlo and Janis comic strip, and Rose is Rose.

GodPlace
FaceBook
Pinterest
Email

That's pretty much it.  I used to do more than that.  I go to other sites if I need something specific but not to browse.

I read the news but not every day or even every week consistantly. 

I'd like to tell myself that it's because I have a life but... lol

GP, facebook, the news, the weather. If I surf for hours, I turn into a dummy.

I'm on Facebook and Ancestry.com the most - hours everyday. I also visit GP, my blog, Listingbook.com (house hunting) and one or two other sites. There are a few more I only visit once in awhile.

I use my phone, so I don't do much web surfing. Just what I get on my apps, and then sometimes I'll looks something up.


GP is always first.
Facebook
Pinterest
A blog I read I check daily for new posts
Sometimes I go to a womens forum I am a member of...not often
Email comes as an alert to the phone, so I don't have to actually check it. It tells me when there is mail.
Google for looking up stuff

Is the women's forum you talk of JP Jabs by chance? I used to be a member there but can't even find it now that I got the internet back. Is it still around? I'd like to go there again.

No, when they switched web addresses, they didn't keep it.  No one had done anything in a couple years I think.

Yeah Jabs is gone. I don't even think you can go read anything anymore.

I also have phone internet only. Post more on facebook but it is with Hootsuit app, so I don't see much of the posts, gp I haven't been posting much. Email is an app as well, so spending very little time online these days.
