Which other websites do you browse frequently?

Being in IT industry, one way or other ensures most of the time you have access to Internet and a computer(or mobile), unless you are sleeping "Browsing" develops as a unaware habit.

Just to take time off working screen and to context switch during office hours, I have few websites which I often glance through.
  1. Team-Bhp
  2. Quora
  3. NDTV
  4. amazon

Apart from this, generally I have look around for content over Internet which enhances skills and exposure.

Please share your choices. We never know what new could we "Browse"

re: Which other websites do you browse frequently?

I am a automotive buff, aviation geek and a credit card freak. Am also a foodie but the Zomato update which removed the feed of all the other Users posting their reviews made me addiction free.
Here is my list:
1) Tbhp
2) livefromalounge (Airline blogspot)
3) Cardexpert (credit card blogspot)
4) autopunditz
5) twitter

re: Which other websites do you browse frequently?

I have a few:
  1. Team BHP
  2. Gear Patrol
  3. BBC Sport

Gear Patrol is not only about cars, it is about gear in general - cellphones, watches, tools, Hi Fi Audio, and other cool stuff that I find myself lusting over. An excellent place to kill time for those that enjoy gadgets and "things".

BBC Sport is mostly for F1 and Football - Premier League, to be precise.

I also look at Economic Times, and Google News when I'm done with all the other portals for the day.

Wow!! This is exactly my list. Apart from these:

6. Techenclave (everyday showoff frequently)
7. Flyertalk (India based airline frequently)
8. mycarhelpline (deals and discounts)
9. indiafreestuff (online shopping deals - not frequently. Every time I go there, I end up buying something)
10. Quora (kills a lot of productivity)

Re: Which other websites do you browse frequently?

All right - it is time for a little confession:


Here is the list - necessarily in this order - where I spend most of the time - everyday:


1. TeamBHP (addictive)
2. Quora (Still worth a read despite piles of garbage)
3. TargetWoman (information aimed at not women alone)
4. Flipboard (Content Aggregator)
5. Popular Science (for the daily shot of S&T)

Re: Which other websites do you browse frequently?

1) TeamBHP
2) NYT
3) Indian Express
4) NDTV
5) Car listings on OLX now and then

Home:
1) Youtube
2) Netflix

Travel
1) Podcasts (recently started, currently hooked to Joe Rogan on youtube)

Would be hugely obliged if someone can suggest how this passive activity could be turned productive, in general and specifically the technology industry.
