The Internet… is it
overwhelming? Is there never enough things to do? Or never enough time to do
everything?
No matter what it is, have you ever found
yourself not enjoying your web time? For me it seems to have nothing new to do.
It’s inevitable we all use the same websites every day. It’s all about finding
the happy medium in your web time & knowing how to use every site
to your best advantage. Every day a new website, blog, or page is being posted
& shared online, it’s easy to get caught up in old habits and not explore
new sites (guilty) but make it a promise to yourself to find a
new site every day.
Needless to say we all have
our favorite or most visited sites.
Sometimes it’s not a good time to do website
usage but you can’t resist, Shhh don't tell, but I am one who is guilty of
getting on "site time” when I shouldn't be.... some places I can think
people might have a hard time doing it is; “Down” time at work, while your
professor is in a lecture, or grabbing a cup of coffee with a parent or
grandparent at lunch. Whichever
it is for yo u I hope you enjoy my top 7 sites that I can't get enough of that
I have to be sure to get in at least once a day!; as well as how I get the most
use out of each site and what I enjoy about them.
Please feel free to share any of the sites or
blogs you enjoy in the comments below, I would love to visit new websites any
time no matter what they are if they are a popular sites, a newly
discovered site to you or if your site is still in the "construction
zone" if you enjoy it its worth sharing. Same thing goes with blogs!
***Please note all the
Blue website names are links to that site, it will not take you away from the
blog but rather open a new web page for your convenience.****
~These are my websites that
I visit daily or most of the time multiple times a day. ~
This website has so many
features you can get almost anything you want or need shopping through Amazon.
The
main reason I visit Amazon website is for the Kindle Books. I own a Kindle
Fire. It has benefited me in many ways by introducing me to a whole set of new
books, apps, and websites.
One of my favorite features
that Amazon has is the very user friendly search engine...
The Way I Make Most of the
Search Engine for Amazon Kindle Books
Search titles >use the
feature Lowest to highest >Amazon free app of the day everyday
> Key word searching >0.00,
free kindle books, free, free books, free top books
I sometimes get super lucky and get new releases
that cost $15.00 or more for FREE! In my Kindle collection I have over 200
books already downloaded to my Amazon Drive and so much more each day.
Even if you don't have a
Kindle don't let yourself get discouraged!!!
You Can Get the Kindle App
On
>your desktop computer
>laptop >IPods > Android devices (the FREE Amazon Kindle App is
located in Amazon app's.)
As a Kindle owner I love this feature for the
fact that you can enjoy your books anywhere, anytime, on any device you have at
the moment!
Videos, comedy, news,
music, seminars, the search options are endless in YouTube!
It’s a Worldwide Epidemic
Between the >local news and updates >national
news >political topics >media debates & citizen opinions.
In The YouTube Community
There Is Never A Dull Moment.
Keeping up with the >celebrities >top music videos
>comedy >debates >how to videos >National and local Vloggers (Video
Blogs)
Other Things You Can Do On
YouTube
>post a video on advice regarding anything >electrical
advice, life, spiritual, social, sociological advice,, relationship, future
planning, home repairs, for that matter ANY repairs, daily life style, work out
regimens, beauty, educational and so much more.
>share videos to give to friends & family >Video
Idea’s > Your cat being crazy, the dog playing in the swimming
pool, your family or friends screaming on that super scary roller coaster THEY
had to go on, prodigy’s of music videos, how to videos.
With opinions/debates being
shared through videos regarding current events on the media and News
I am positive I will never
get bored with this site!
Social Networking, a new
way of communication and keeping up to date on everything happening with
friends, family, community and the media.
Facebook is a very popular
social networking community in which I am very guilty
of spending too much time of my time on.....
Things Facebook I Use
Facebook For
connect with friends & Family by >share
photos >share events >make personal events and invite friends to
>business networking >gaining friendships
Ever bored of the same
things you get stuck in the website Rut, all you need to do is go stumble onto
a new site just for you!
It’s a Quick and Easy Setup
and Simple to Use
Select your favorite things, hobbies,
interests, favorites; foods, animals, places, things, sports, news topics,
books, movies
Then simply click STUMBLE! ~Wah-lah just like that you
have a new website, video, or blogs
Search around on that website give it a thumbs
up or thumbs down. Then
click Stumble and repeat!!!
The Reason I Got Referred
To StumbleUpon;
Was I often got discouraged using same websites
every day and feeling that I have done EVERYTHING online? I wondered how in the
world people can spend hours online then never run out of things to do...
Just as I was getting into the website rut I got
a reference to this site by an avid blogger,
As I experimented with this site I learned that
I was wrong the whole time I thought I ran out of things to do it’s NOT TRUE there
is so much more out there to the internet, with this site it’s easy and fun to
find.
Things You Can Do With
StumbleUpon Are Endless;
But a really great thing about this site IS FOR bloggers or anyone
who has a website personal or a website or blog they enjoy visiting. You can
add it to StumbleUpon then as other stumblers' are stumbling on new websites
they will stumble onto your page!
Blogging, Vlogs (Video
Blog), Writing, Articles, Magazine's, or advice columns, no matter how you word
it they all do the same thing. Bring people together regarding interests and
topics to have discussions and learn new things through “strangers” experiences.
Blogging is a great way to build connections by
being able to mingle in the networking world with many different people from
many different places, about all different topics, through a style of social
networks.
Additionally You Can Use It
As
> journal > advice columns
>sharing topics of interest>sharing experiences from your life
>outlet >work advice > “Adulthood” advice > relationship Topics,
> ways to help deal with daily life
It’s a Great Place to Find
>inspiring topics > things you do in your daily life >
share and read other peoples experiences and life adventures >
Blogging is a world of new
shared knowledge and involvement in the blogging and internet community where
it’s always at the hand of the Blog Creator to bring you something new.
Dictionary.com and
Thesaurus.com are always open on one tab of my browser for the reference tools
and not wanting to screw up to much in my writing...
I when I am working on a
blog is a great time to check the website out
Ways I to Use It to Benefit
My Writing
>prevent repeating words >help use words
correctly >checking grammar >helpful with punctuation
With today’s technology, I have to admit I'm
included in this, grammar is on the side line while writing because of the
shorthand we use during Text Messaging & Emails it's easy to just continue
those habits. I try to use grammar correctly in my daily writing, because to me
it helps portray the message across more efficiently. Dictionary.com is a very
effective resource to help with this; it has many essential sources of
information to guide easily and successfully in your writing.
I personally use Google
Search engine. Google is the main search engine in most corporations and has
reliable resources when researched correctly.
Other Search Engines
include:
>Bing >Yahoo>ASK
>MSN >and many others.
I Use Google:
>for the main reason that all of my accounts
I use multiple times a day are linked through Google like; >Gmail
>G-Drive >YouTube >Blogger >Play Store, >G-Calendar >G-Maps.
My Daily Quote
“Google It”
Whenever a friend, coworker, family member or I
have a question that I or anyone is unsure on or need “proof” mainly to prove
you are right, I say “Google It”. "Google it" is one of my
favorite and most common phrases, it’s simple and answers everything no matter
what the question is you type it into Google and with the right research you
will get the correct answer.
Thank you for taking the time to read
my blog and about my websites.
Please comment below, any feedback, your top
websites, or your thoughts on the websites I use.
If you post a site or blog I will work on
exploring them and write a short review of the website or blog in my upcoming
blogs!

weekend!
