Daily Clicks
Tuesday, January 11, 2005A while back I asked readers what other blogs they read on a regular basis. But what sites other than blogs do you check daily?
Patricia recently asked me, upon receiving some silly links from me, where I find that stuff. My question is, where do you not find that stuff? If you spend any amount of time on the Internet regularly, you tend to just absorb the bizarre and the linkable.
I poke my nose in at MetaFilter on a more-than-regular basis, and I’ll be honest, it’s where many of the links on my “Feed Me” sidebar originate from. Other daily clicks of mine include the news (both real and geek) and the popular index of del.icio.us. I also find myself at IMDb more than is probably necessary. But it’s like crack.
And like anyone with a website I check my stats and technorati profile daily.
What are some of your daily clicks?

Michael Nobbs says:
My mornings usually include at least some time spend on the BBC news website and I nearly always look longinf around the Apple store.

Aside from the obvious (news, blogs, my e-mail, forums on whatever interests me that nobody else cares about) I oftenm go to these sites:
PhD comics
Yoshe
(This link is in Dutch, but DON’T PANIC: it reviews lots of fun places on the web, which in turn are usually in English. Just click on clickable things. It’s on a news site, so no danger in randomly clicking.)
Neave inspiration
(Actually, I cheat: I never go to the site, I just read the mailing list, but it’s the same stuff.)
Overqualified
and A Softer World

OK, not EVERY day, but: popdex, blogdex, the guardian, imdb,gizmodo, boingboing,the morning news, blacktable and my favourite frequent bloggers (including you, brett, joan, joey, my sis, matt, and all the happyrobot peeps). Also, lately, the jetpropulsion labs to find out about titan. http://www.newyorkish.com/newyorkish/celebrity/

I get a lot of my links from <a>Coudal’s</a> “Fresh Signals” sidebar.
As far as daily reading, though, I check <a>The House of Wigs</a> and <a>Tremble</a> everyday, hoping they’ve been updated (and usually being disappointed).
Feaverish says:
Um. Those links didn’t work. Let’s try again:
Coudal
The House of Wigs
Tremble
