Ask HN: Sites/non-web things you use?
I think this is an insteresting question. I was originally going to post it in reply to a comment to why companies use degrees as filter, but then I decided I'd like to know what the other people on HN use. I might learn something.
1.) List the top 3 sites/things you visit/use daily (don't want to miss these things. like news sites, facebook, youtube, twitter, newspaper, talk show).
2.) The top 3 (non search, ask) resources (books, data collections).
3.) The 3 sites/things you waste time on.
4.) The top 3 places you go when you need help.
I would say:
1.) Linux Today, Slashdot, and Hacker news.
2.) safari.oreilly.com, IBM developerworks, my personal library.
3.) HN, Web Comics, Instant Messaging
4.) Google, Gentoo Forums, IRC (freenode).
