I thought it might be a cool idea to have everyone share their top 10 website links that they enjoy the most. Sites you visit everyday, find interesting, or whatever. May help broaden everyone's internet horizons.
In no particular order:
Fark (http://www.fark.com)
Drudge Report (http://www.drudgereport.com)
Massively (http://www.massively.com/)
WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com)
360 Fanboy (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/)
Hulu (http://www.hulu.com)
Ten Ton Hammer (http://tentonhammer.com/)
Think Geek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/index.shtml)
Woot (http://www.woot.com)
Gorrilla Mask NSFW (http://gorillamask.net/)
Yes, I know some of our network sites are missing, really felt that they went without saying.

Wonkette (www.wonkette.com) - I dig the biting sarcasm.
Pajiba (www.pajiba.com) - I really love their review style.
Fark (www.fark.com)
Facebook (www.facebook.com)
I used to hit EvAv like, 100 times a day but now it is all COG.

Eh...I didn't figure I needed to put stuff down like "Hotmail" or which webcomics I look at.
OH!

Very true. I can at least post one that I recommend to everyone.

1. Google (http://www.google.com/): Yeah, lame I know, but I'm in love with Google, and not just for the search engine. Gmail and Google Docs, Calendar, and Reader are great features I can access from anywhere. Definitely the best Web OS.
2. New York Times (http://nytimes.com/): I love the NYT for their traditional style, good objective reporting, and longer articles in an age of pie charts and pictures.
3. Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/): I was born in the Information Age, and Dictionary.com is my desk reference. I nearly always use it to look up new words when reading or variants from the sister Thesaurus tool when writing.
4. Woot! (http://www.woot.com/): I rarely buy anything from them, but I'm addicted to Woot and it's shirt subsidiary (http://shirt.woot.com/). They have a random tech-related item on sale every night, except on the smorgasbord Woot-Offs where a new item comes up right after one sells out. I've never been so elated to see a flashing light.
5. Last.fm (http://www.last.fm/home): Last.fm tracks your favorite artists and songs and recommends new ones, and it's a great place to find new music.
6. GoodReads (http://www.goodreads.com/): Similarly, GoodReads allows you to keep track of and rate books you've read, are reading, or want to read.
7. FaceBook (http://www.facebook.com/): I never got as into FaceBook as much as some, but I still check it about once a week to keep track of old and long-distance friends.
8. DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com/): DA is a guilty pleasure for me. I know it's a refuge for Emos and Furries, but sometimes I can't help but spend hours browsing bad fan-art for a brief glimpse of something awesome (http://skybolt.deviantart.com/art/Die-Hard-17146596).
9. Spiked Humor (http://www.spikedhumor.com/): Spiked Humor ranks up there with Something Awful in terms of community maturity level, but I can't help visiting the site if I have a free moment for a helping of YouTube comedy, old movie clips, obscure cartoons, and political videos like Lil' O'Reilly (http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/164932/Little-Bill-O-Reilly-.html).
10. Cute Overload (http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/): No explanation needed.

I do love me some Achewood. Great strip. Such a simple premise, but such deep character driven humor.

CoG - this one is so obviously self explanatory, I don't even know why I'm explaining that right now
Luminous Landscape (http://luminous-landscape.com/) - the best photography website I've ever encountered. Supported almost 100% by sales of an excellent DVD series (physical & downloadable). Forums are populated by some of the industry's true giants, and discussion is serious, informative, and incredibly inspiring.
Blue's News (http://www.bluesnews.com/) - I've been reading Blue's since it was Blue's Quake Rag way back in the day, and I doubt that will change until he either takes it offline, or I die, whichever comes first. I don't post there anymore, but I always stop by to see what's happening
xlr8yourmac (http://xlr8yourmac.com/) - An excellent resource for all kinds of things related to Mac hardware. I can't count the number of handy tidbits I've gleaned over all my years spent working on Macs that I never would have know about had I not read about them there. Add to that the number of important issues Mike has made me aware of, and I always make sure I stop by at least once a day, just in case.
MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com/) - I check here once a day for updates to whatever third-party software I happen to be running. If it's been updated, and it's for a Mac, it's here.
Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/) - God I love Lifehacker.
Jezebel (http://jezebel.com/) - Love Jez as well.. I don't necessarily check there every day, but I definitely stop by a couple times a week just to see if anything interesting has been posted, and there's always at least one or two great reads waiting.
Flickr: Explore (http://www.flickr.com/explore/) - Guaranteed to find great photos in there every single day. Yes please :)
Mygazines (http://www.mygazines.com/) - A shitton of full, high-resolution magazines available to be read via a pretty damn spiffy interface. For free. I only hope this site manages to stay afloat and to grow, because if you like magazines, this is fucking crack. Even if they never add another new one, I could still stay busy there for a seriously unhealthy amount of time ;)

I pretty much stay(ed) between Fark, Digg, and EvAv for most of my news, with the occasional visit to IGN, Facebook, dpreview, and various random sites.
Fark and Digg alone are places where you can easily lose dozens of hours a day! :eek: And don't even get me started on dpreview...
I used to surf slashdot but that's fallen out of favor with me lately.
