What does a typical Internet session consist of for you?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 4:33 am

For me, I'll normally check my Facebook first, then spend a while on these forums. After that I normally go to Youtube and watch videos by Jon Lajoie or Ray William Johnson, followed by a cryptozoology documentary like Monsterquest (yes, I'm a nerd) :P

What do you do when you're online? Besides "teh pr0ns" :P

These forums, FB, maybe a bit of the Cheezburger Network, all while looking at job sites (and despairing - normally ending up in me looking at pictures of cats falling off things to cheer me up). Also check out the Smodcast Network to see if there's anything new. And check my emails.

Read a bit of national and international news. Check up on some tech-related sites, and then I have a couple tabs open to profiles of people I'd like to boot before it's nappy time. There's a quota to reach people! :deal:

Nothing says teamwork like ganging up on the same unsuspecting user. :chaos:

Maybe we could make a twitter page where people can find out if they're still in the game or were, in fact, the weakest link. :lightbulb:

- Browser opens up with 4 tabs. Two are forums (neither of which is this forum), the other two are one of my iGoogle pages and Anime News Network. ANN is my default tab.

- Take a quick scan of the headlines, if anything is interesting, I'll open it in a new tab. Read those, close the new tabs, and go to BGSF

- Go to the CD, see if anything interesting was posted, read it, maybe reply to a few posts

- Hop over to the iGoogle tab. Default iGoogle page is the Linux RSS feeds. Check the displayed stories for anything interesting. Go to Gmail

- Realize nothing direly interesting arrived, procrastinate reading other emails until the weekend

- Go back to iGoogle, check out the various feeds more in-depth for anything Interesting

- Go back on here and kill some more time

- Check out some other news sites I read that I don't bother setting up feeds for

- If M/W/F morning or Su/T/Th night, check out the latest XKCD comic

- Check for a new MegaTokyo comic, be disappointed when there isn't one

I generally only do the first five if it is before work/school. Don't have enough time to do it all in the morning :P

In this order:
-Facebook
-Bethesda Softworks forums; mainy for The Elder Scrolls series
-YouTube
-Ultimate Guitar Tabs for any new songs I am currently learning
-Alpha Zone 4 for my Playstation Home news

Percentage for each site in a period of a week (estimated):
Facebook: 30%
Bethesda Softworks forums: 30%
YouTube: 30%
Ultimate Guitar Tabs: 5% (only on when looking for new songs, I usually learn a new song in about a period of 2 hours and don't get back on until I want to try something new)
Alpha Zone 4: 5% (only on every few days just to check)

I spend a bit of time on these forums, mainly the community discussion and the Skyrim forums. Throughout the day I check my iGoogle tab to see if I have any emails or if any of my RSS feeds updated. I often visit thatguywiththeglasses.com, thespoonyexperiment.com and lordkat.com to see if they have any new interesting videos up. Sometimes I visit the Dwarf Fortress forums to see if anything interesting is happening there.

Open blog folder, get something to drink, read blogs. Check Twitter. Check news sites. And then it's off to the five or so forums I visit. And hoping I don't get stuck there longer than I planned. Which usually happens.

First thing I do is log in to the chat I regular. Then I sign in here. After that, I'll look for any subscriber uploads on Youtube, then check my favorite internet personalities: Critic, Spoony, Snob, and the AVGN. After all that's done (or while I'm doing it), I'll start posting on the forums and chatting on the site I regular or on MSN.
