Favorite Websites?

What are your favorite websites?

Daily writing prompt

Do people still think in terms of favorite websites? Wouldn’t you say they are more like commonly used tools now rather than favorites? Back in the early days I might have thought in favorite terms, but I don’t think I do anymore.

I can give you a list of commonly used sites. These are the tabs that I keep open on my browser on my personal machine:

• Gmail
• WordPress.com
• Flickr
• Mastodon
• Bluesky
• Facebook messenger (in case the band thread gets updated)
• Reddit
• Trello
• Rhymezone (in case I am trying to write lyrics)
• Alonetone (in case I need to upload a new song)
• Hearthis.at (same as alonetone)
• Wordle
• The Who Back When podcast page, but that’s only until I finish the epic Doctor Who binge watch
• Google Keep for our grocery list
• My Food/Drink tracking spreadsheet

Really, I could do without all of those except Gmail, WordPress, and the food spreadsheet. The rest are not really that important.

Honorable mentions? There could be a few. The For You page on Google News gets a lot of use. So does US College Hockey Online, the NHL, MLB, and ESPN sites. Of course the one page that gets used more than almost all others is Google. Anything that comes up gets a Google search. Wikipedia is probably second on the list, but it’s a distant second.

I guess the answer to the question what are my favorite websites though would be… none, I think.
