Online Resources
Below you will find lists of my favourite resources from everything funny to useful to newsworthy. I love the Internet as a whole and it is a part of my every day life. If used well, it can make life very easy.
Daily Chuckles
A website updated daily with little blurbs. Each blurb is written by an annonymous user who has had somehting pretty awful and/or comical happen to them. They also have comic art depicting certain blurbs and a new Auntie Agony weekly post.
Ever heard the saying, "The customer is always right,"? Well, this website proves that not all customer are correct. It is updated daily with funny stories of crazy customer interactions. Sometimes theres a feel good story too!
This is a sister site to Not Always Right but takes it from the customer's point of view where certain workers just don't know how to do their job. Daily posts with wacky stories of bad employees are always a good laugh.
Newsworthy Check-Ins
It's moniker is"The Front Page of The Internet" for a reason. If something is happening in the world, reddit will be able to tell you about it. There are plenty of news and discussion boards for all topics, types and locales.
Useful Websites
Are you simply unable to keep up with all your different social networking accounts? Does updating daily or even often seem like a chore? HootSuite turns all your social media pages into one simple dashboard where everything can be managed on the same webpage. Even better, you can schedule uploads so you don't have to be constantly updating through out the week, or even the month!
While every high school teacher and professor told you to never cite Wikipedia, we all know they take their site and it's correctness very seriously. Most of the information on Wikipedia is useful and easy to access, covering almost every topic and notable figure in the world. The site's admin are also very strict now with uncited changes, so it's rare for a Wiki page to be vandalized for long. Besides, everyone knows not to quote Wikipedia, but follow their source links for the factual information. It's a good resource and starting point for basic online research.
If you watch foreign dramas, whether they are Asian, European or South American, it's always a pain to keep track of what you've watched or what you would like to watch. I've lost good leads on new shows simply because I forgot to make a note of it. My Drama List is a website that not only let's you keep track of what you watched but you can note which episodes you are on and rate the series. You can also create a plan to watch list for future shows and on hold list for dramas you just can't get through anymore. Great resource for anyone who watches international dramas and films online.
Ever have one of those nights where you just don't know what to cook? You have food but you're either too tired or too clueless to come up with a recipe? This website asks you for all the food you have in your kitchen and then spits out many possible recipes for you to make. Cooking dinner suddenly isn't a big deal anymore!
