I think it might be interesting to ask a question about people's favorite and most hated websites. You don't need to post a reason, but it might be interesting if you do.

I'm also going to suggest admitting a site you visit often that your not exactly open with others about...

For me,

I LOATHE facebook. Can't stand it. If I haven't talked to you in 10 years there is probably a reason for that and I don't need 150 such people as facebook friends.

I Love the W3C website. I didn't like it when I first started with HTML & Javascript, php etc. but I love it now. I think their reference section is top notch.

I am ashamed to admit I check the "rant & rave" section of craigslist daily. Whatever, it's funny sometimes. I have even picked a fight a couple of times. Don't tell anybody...

Favorite web sites: Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, Gizmodo & Google. Did I say Google?

Web sites that I love to hate with a vengeance: Myspace (it seems like kiddos have taken it over), Engadget (there's rarely a resourceful post in the comments section and a vast majority of the posts on any single day use a combination of these words -"OMG WTF Apple n00b b!tch fail suck iphone"), experts-exchange.com (it might be a self proclaimed #1 tech experts web site but the fact is, if you can dodge all of the advertising and actually access the solution, you've done better than those so-called "experts".)

Hated:
hi5.com - Think myspace for pedos. I keep telling our kids to get off it but to no avail, any social networking site that lets kids as young as 9 or 10 on there isn't right.
Twitter - Really what's the point?
Facebook - Crap security and again somewhat pointless

Loved:
Google - Obvious really
The Register - Always a good read
Football365 - Best football (soccer for the americans) site on the web
Rock Paper Shotgun - Best gaming site on the net, covers loads of little indie gems I'd never have known about along with the more usual commercial offerings.

Why not man? I don't feel ashamed about admitting that I enjoy browsing eFukt.

I even showed several eFukt videos to my real-life friends; videos like 1guy1cup.

Favorites are many that would be difficult to prioritize. But I hate most of the so called social networking websites. used to be very active in digg, but the whole Ron Paul submissions crap during the election time sort of turned me off. Also hate most of the celebrity gossip websites, except for a couple or so where emphasis is only on wardrobe malfunctions, bikini shots and the like. Egotastic for instance! :D

Ah, same here. A wiki dedicated entirely to blatant, obvious trolling. The only thing that I hate about that site is that so many people are stupid enough to base their opinions of things from its content.

I'm ashamed to admit that I visit skype forums from time to time and write offensive comments about the quality of linux version of the program. Also about how long they are preparing a new release = )
