The only ones I use the Internet for on any regular basis:
Surfing for fun
SC
I check B3ta and Buttersafe regularly, too.
Sometimes The Beeb, but who doesn't?
Education (by which I mean those gosh darn Wikipedia lists)
Leeching and seeding music, films, computer programs, audiobooks, podcasts, etc.
And researching to see what I'd like to download
Reading fanfic
Listening to the radio
I also use it for venting my rage at when the connection goes
That's mostly it.

Entertainment/surfing/StumbleUpon; SC; Surveysites other than SC; education/research; communicating with others; photosharing sites; my own blog and reading others' blogs; social networking site (Myspace); online shopping; online banking/bill-pay; watching YouTube; occasional news. If I had more money to spend I'd get more music from iTunes. | kirst  | | posted 16-Apr-2008 5:36pm |
All of the above. | cantilever  | | posted 16-Apr-2008 5:43pm |
lots and lots, but I find the blogging and Facebook/Yu tube type sites totally boring. | LindaH  | | posted 16-Apr-2008 7:04pm |
Everything on this list other than work/business, online gaming and survey sites other than SC.
And also, in combination with loud music in headphones, it's a very effective way of ignoring everyone in the house. | RGirl  | | posted 16-Apr-2008 7:09pm |
Most of these. Not social networking, no longer do a blog, no online gaming. | Frostbrand  | | posted 16-Apr-2008 11:18pm |
The ones I clicked, and podcasts. | paulyw    | | posted 16-Apr-2008 11:51pm |
All the above, and RealArcade | moviesnob   | | posted 17-Apr-2008 8:13am |
All of the above, except I don't go to other survey sites. What other sites are there? | they    | | posted 17-Apr-2008 8:37am |
All of these except for blogs and survey sites. | Galomorro   | | (reply to moviesnob) posted 17-Apr-2008 11:04am |
There are many other survey sites. These sites are for bizness research, not just for fun like SC is. Sometimes they offer incentives, like entering the survey-taker into a sweepstakes each time they complete one, etc. My own favorite one is Harris Poll. Some are much better than others and some don't have surveys much or seemingly at all. But I got in the habit long ago of joining whichever ones didn't insist on my phone number. Surveyspot is another one that has surveys frequently. They describe products of various kinds and ask the survey taker to give their opinion. They also ask for gender, birth date, zip code, and lots of other questions-it varies by company. One survey site reviewer I got some company names from is surveysdownunder.com. | | thecomic22 | | posted 17-Apr-2008 12:52pm |

Never heard of these websites. But, I see the Beeb is a nickname for the bbc.. Don't go there either.

Aww, Buttersafe is a webcomic with a Monty Pyton-esque sense of humour; B3ta's a website built around a newsletter with funny links. Neither are at all famous, I suppose. | | Anderz | | posted 17-Apr-2008 7:14pm |

Who needs other survey sites when you have SC? | | Gomezy3k | | posted 20-Apr-2008 11:16am |
Surfing, email, online forums (I can rant with the best of them), and online gaming.. RuneScape Rules.... Oh and downloading music to try out new bands before I buy the cd... I used to use the online banking but had to close out my accounts and go underground with my money so do not do that anymore.. | | smurf | | posted 21-Apr-2008 9:41pm |
