I thought this might be fun and informative...
List your 5 top sites in any order. They can be about anything. There's no need to add Geoexpat 'cos we already know we're all addicted. Short descriptions would be nice too...
1 Damn Interesting. A kind of boy's own website for grown men (ahem). Fascinating historical tidbits, cars of the future, space exploration, and lots more.
2 The Straight Dope. Resident genius Cecil answers questions about anything. Full stop. Lots of archives.
3 The Economist. Well, you know what this is. Economics, finance, politics, current affairs & comment. Smart and always interesting.
4 Overcoming Bias. All about overcoming cognitive bias and behaving more rationally. More interesting than it sounds, I promise!
5 Foreign Policy Passport. A blog by Foreign Policy staff. A casual and often humorous look at world news. My second click of the day, after the BBC.

Blimey this is sad .... couldn't think of any other than geoexpat! I think that either means I need to get a life or that perhaps I have one and don't spend ALL my time on the net!

I am surprised no one has yet mentioned You Tube.
I am also a fan of House price news, information and discussion - HousePriceCrash.co.uk which has gained quite a cult following over the last 5 years or so and successfully predicted the current demise of UK house prices long before it happened. Some of the posters on there were spot on with their predictions even when it was unfashionable to claim UK house prices ever went down and present some interesting views and predictions which have gained media credibility.
It is apparently now one of the top 20 most visited UK websites according to the Times newspaper.
BBC world news is always excellent with a great layout and is my homepage.
