Advantages: There's something for everyone
Disadvantages: Not everyone likes the same things
Ok so I decided to write a review on my top ten sites… Thought it would be easy but it wasn’t…actually trying to think of ten really good sites was difficult but I’ve managed it and here they are hope you enjoy checking some of them out. I haven’t included dooyoo, that would be stupid really. So besides dooyoo, which is obviously a lovely site, here are the best of the rest…
10: www.myvoice.co.uk
This is a site I’m new to. It was reviewed on here recently and I thought hey I gotta check that out. Basically the point of it is…you go on there sign up and take polls/quizzes on all sorts of subjects and earn points which convert to vouchers (sound familiar?) It is good and I think in time it will be worth doing ...especially for those of us who enjoy taking seemingly pointless polls. I have put it at number 10, as it is a very slow earner I signed up a week ago and have so far earned very few points… the polls, which actually earn you points, are few and far between. Although there are always polls to taken only ones with * asterisks * by the titles will earn you points and so far I haven’t seen any polls with asterisks on them sooo. I’m told it is worthwhile sticking at it and as I enjoy pointless poll taking anyway its not a total waste of time but I would say if your looking to make a decent amount of money this isn’t the way. All in all a good site though.
9: www.myspace.com
I love this site. It’s basically just a site for meeting people… (Not weirdo’s as a rule) from all over the world. You go on sign up, can spend hours making a really brilliant profile full of pictures, song etc you name it you can pretty much put it into your myspace profile. Then you can post bulletins, which mostly consist of silly quizzes, jokes, news from friends etc. You can also chat on the forums which are fun and great for advice etc…the forums can get a little bitchy from time to time but hey if your in the mood that’s the place to go. I signed up at the same time as some of my real life friends, which I think, makes it more fun. We all compare profiles and chat together and get chatting to other people. It just a really chilled site nothing to fancy just somewhere to go chat and waste some time.
8: www.ebay.co.uk
Well if you don’t know what eBay does where have you been? eBay is the world’s biggest online auction! You can buy just about anything from eBay and sell almost anything as well. It costs you a small fee to sell things on there but all the way through the selling process you’re kept informed of how much each thing will cost so you can pull out if you think its to much. I’ve never paid above £1 but I have only sold small items so far as far as I know the selling price is higher in different categories but like I said you can check how much it will cost you to sell the item in question before you have to pay. You can also buy anything from… a t-shirt to a car! It’s a great way to make money selling unwanted items and a great way to save money when buying anything. I have bought things from eBay many times and it is SO exciting you get totally caught up in the bidding…the auctions run for a few days and then at the last minute there is usually some frenzied bidding on the much wanted items so you have to be there hoping you manage to outbid other bidders and win the item. The site itself is very self-explanatory and has a forum so you can ask any beginners questions. The only down side to eBay is you do get really hooked on the bidding and have to be careful not to get carried away. But if you have a few spare £’s its great fun to just buy little things like brooches, costume jewellary etc. You can buy loads of little things for £5 and then you get various little parcels…oh the fun!
7: www.bored.com
Yes one day I was actually bored stupid and typed in bored.com as a joke…to my surprise this site exists and is incredibly funny! It’s full of games, music, funny little videos, bits about the news and links galore you could spend days on this site and not get bored. It’s main page is really colorful and its easy to find something to amuse yourself as the layout is really clear…I would defiantly check out this site if your bored it will keep you amused for hours!
6: www.community.sparknotes.com
This website is great. It’s actually a revision site, which is cool, but I never used it for that therefore I wont comment on its revision helpfulness. I used it for something else. The site has recently had a bit of a make over making it more apparent what it is meant for but when I first discovered it, it was actually its really fun quizzes that attracted me. They are not educational at all but are just silly quizzes, which take ages to fill in and are just for fun. The quizzes include… the jerk test, the death test, the untelligence test and the wench test. They are just silly, the answers are silly and it’s just a great laugh. Really fun to answer with a group of mates. Me and my friends spent hours quizzing each other on here…ok so maybe we are a bit sad but hey if your sad too you’ll love this site!
5: www.bbc.co.uk
Ok so it’s hardly a new one but this site is great it includes everything. You can check the news, read the latest about eastenders etc. You can also dress up characters from eastenders and sooo much more. I actually haven’t delved to deeply into all the website holds because I had so much fun on the eastenders part. But I have it on good authority that there are many other worthwhile and entertaining pages on the site. I would recommend you check this out even if you only dress up eastenders characters like me!
4: www.yahoo.com
Ok another obvious one but hey its great and I have great time on there. Yahoo.com has everything you can set up your own email address, play hundreds of games online, chat to people all over the world in all the different chat rooms etc. It’s just great. The chat rooms are all themed and so you can literally go on there and think…oh I want to talk about my bad back today and there’s a chat room for that…then another day you may think …I fancy playing x factor and you can there is a karaoke chat room where you can sing and the other singers will judge you! If you just go to yahoo and click around you’re bound to find something that appeals. Oh and its also a search engine. Lol.
3: www.discoveryhealth.co.uk
This website is connected to the channel on sky TV. It like the spark has undergone a big make over recently updating to actually become discovery home and health. There are all sorts of things on this site. You can get medical advice, see details of up coming programmes being shown on the discovery channels. And to top it off it has a great forum full of friendly people who are there to chat like or give advice. It’s not exactly a fun playful kind of site but its great if you want to meet some nice genuine people to talk to online.
2: www.metal-pig.co.uk
This is a site, which I love just for personal reasons but I had to list it. It is a site run by the two D.J’s who run Chester’s only proper rock night at a club. I used to go a lot more when I was younger but since having my daughter had to slow things down a bit. The site is basically just a place where my friends and I all chat, we talk about anything and its great fun. Also it is regularly updated with pics of a recent night out which are great for us all to see. Blah really shouldn’t have included this but it’s a fun site for me sooo.
And finally the best website of all time is….
1: www.imdb.com
This site is great. You can find anything about any film, actor etc you can think of just about. Just go on type in the name of the film, actor etc and it will come up with tons of info on them. It will tell you trivia about the movies you love and will also list errors that you may have missed in the film. For example in the film dirty dancing… did you know Johnny takes his Jacket off not once but twice before the last dance of the season? It will also tell you what other things your fave actors have starred in and more about them…their birthday, hometown etc. It’s a really great site for researching projects or just for having a laugh finding out random facts about things you like. I would advise anyone to check this site out.
Well there you go my top ten websites…didn’t think I liked that many and to think... I’m still always bored online lol but hey if your like me hopefully my review will have given you some new sites to check out keep boredom at bay a little longer. Have fun and don’t sue me if you don’t like them!
Summary: these are my top websites...you might like to check some out
