Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Ok, ever since Excite@home went south, I don't have a homepage that lists all the news headlines I like to read (headline, international, national, entertainment, weather). I tried Yahoo, but the page format bites, so I hated browsing it. I logged in maybe five times. So, since last fall, I only have a few that I hit daily. I could use some good new recommendations, because my "entertainment news" quota is falling to all time record lows.

These are what I hit almost every day:

1. New York Times Online
2. Macnn + Macminute + Macrumors + XLR8yourmac + Macfixit
3. Drudgereport

ps. 4. Designiskinky.com

For news I visit the economist. Good info on world events, but little on entertainment and even less on weather. One can never know enough about the sexual habits of youths in the UK compared to the youths in the Netherlands.

undotwa · May 23, 2002, 07:52 AM

Well these are the sites I visit, in no special order:

MacNN
MacNN Lounge
MacNN OS X General Discussion
ArsTechnica
ArsTechnica Battlefront (some real lamers in there

)
Wired.com
Whirlpool.net.au
Slashdot.org

I decided to cancel out all Mac sites except MacNN. I visit ArsTechnica just for fun, Wired and Slashdot for general tech news, and Whirlpool for Australian Broadband News (every Aussie on cable should be visiting that sites, for this reason.

I don't visit media sites on the web. Annoying page layouts, ads etc. So I stick with the The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Financial Review.
