What do you spend most of your time doing while on the internet?

Besides the Trek BBS, what do you do most while on the internet? For me, I mostly play the games at Publishers Clearinghouse and look around on eBay.
 
I spend most of my forum time at ReNext (where I am the co-Admin) and ExIsle. Other than that, I am either checking out the works of independent creators (many of whom are my friends) or doing research for my own projects (i.e. wandering from link to link in an info-overloaded daze like a digital drug addict).
 
I probably spend the most time watching various YouTube. lately I have been watching lots of videos about making doll clothes, as well as my usual science and atheists and atheist videos.

I also spend time on Facebook. I don't have many Facebook friends but I have like many interesting pages (science, atheist, art, animal, Tasmanian, news, the charities Indonate to etc) so I usually have many links to interesting articles.

I also frequent a couple of good book sites reading reviews and seeing what has been recommended to me etc
 
The majority of my online time is here.

I go to The Rush Forum, mostly lurking.

I check out Yahoo news and sports stories.

I also check out The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, and when I'm feeling a little trashy, I read The Superficial (thanks Holdfast!).
 
Aside from here, 99% of the remainder is spent going to:

Wordforge
Cracked
Facebook
Brony Kingdom
99 Gamers
Equestria Daily
Fimfiction
 
Working, as my job is done entirely online.
Playing games on Steam
Reading the news via Google
Pintrest
"Window shopping" on Amazon, ThinkGeek, etc.
Read Syfy's Blastr (news page)

Gmail. Gmail. Gmail. Downloading podcasts. Gmail. And every two weeks, I spend some time looking at DS9 screencaps, trying to find interesting ones to caption. Most of the time, though, I'm just checking gmail. I read some blogs, but they don't take a lot of time.

Also: TvTropes. If I get hooked there, I'm there for HOURS.
 
Besides this place, I look at the various upcoming DVD and book release sites, also other sci-fi (TV, movie, and book) sites, and places devoted to history (my other love besides sci-fi).

Oh, and porn.

Okay, not really, but come on, SOMEBODY had to say it.
 
Taylor Swift! :D

Music on YT
Window shopping on Amazon
Watching shows I missed on Hulu or official sites

Various other forums, mostly CivFanatics and the ones where I'm on staff as a moderator or admin

Netflix (occasionally bingewatching series, following The 100)

Reading fanfic (mostly Voyager, Bonanza, & Sliders)

I spend some time here, too.
 
Do you already have the instant tiger pic? http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Instant_c534f7_2155225.jpg

I spend most of my time reading news and looking for information.
Posting on boards comes second. Sadly, I have almost no time for chatroms anymore.
I never play online as I prefer a more direct confrontation with my partners/opponents :) I do play correspondence chess with a friend in Russia but it gets more and more difficult to maintain contact, what with the Ukraine war and everything :(
 
After BBS, I spend time researching and collating information for my Day job in Education. Getting some of the news (cannot give up my newspaper reading) and General research/confirmation comes next. No other blogs or other social networking...too much of a fossil, I think! :)
