RedWingFan94 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I spend a lot of time on different forums chatting with and making new friends. I also spend a lot of time chatting to my many out of state friends and family members through instant messaging services. I also LOVE to sell and shop on Ebay. You can find some really great deals!

Bridget Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'd have to definitely check 'other' for myself. I like checking my email; I never use instant messaging since my friends and I never seem to be on the computer at the same time. I also use the internet quite a bit to look up information on any number of topics. Pretty much anything that comes to mind that I'm interested in learning more about. It's also the first place I check when looking for a place to take a vacation. I'm always ready to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsrmSC Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Most of my on-line time is spent on a single browser game and while I'm playing mostly I use forums to to spend my time while waiting for my character to do something... He is quite slow and takes a lot of time so I actually spend a lot of time browsing forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi, I love to spend time online doing a variety of things. I love to blog. I have to blog at least once every day. I usually blog first thing in the morning and then last thing in the evening before bed. I like e-mailing and I like playing games. I play a variety of games. I play on sites like pogo, bigfishgames, iwin etc and then I play online games like world of warcraft and Guild wars. I enjoy working online and making money. I also like window shopping on ebay.

sani Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I usually spend lots of time at forums reading movie reviews. Also, I read the news and shop online looking for bargains. Ocassionally I chat with friends, and family. I admit, it's time consuming and fun at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlourdeau Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Like a few others, I too have decided to say "other". My interests are in online poker and casino games, forums, blogs, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on to pass the time. Usually I'm doing something else like watching TV or a movie. I have a really short attention span, so it helps for me to have a few things going on at once. Otherwise, I get stir crazy, and no good comes from it...

Guest Mike Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 When I do get spare time, I like reading posts from lots of different kinds of blogs: internet marketing, sports (especially soccer) and music. I also enjoy listening to music on my cellphone ... if I ever lost my phone, I would be completely distraught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighterfluid Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I go straight to Salon.com. My favorites are Cary Tennis', Since You Asked... and Broadsheet. I check my email once or twice while I'm on the computer. I like Slate.com as well. I look a lot of things up too. I research products, physical ailments, children's behavior. I didn't like Wikipedia at first but I have since learned to appreciate it, for the same reason I now appreciate open source software. It's the immediacy, the currentness and the links to verify accuracy. I love the internet. There is no telling what you will find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianna Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 for the same reason I now appreciate open source software. Karma point for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evabaker28 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I guess I'm going to be the odd one out here. The main reason I get on the net is to use email and do research. I don't "play" much. Recently, I've been using it to find online jobs. It has literally taken years to find anything legitimate. Most online jobs require money to get started. Other programs require you to recruit people, and I just didn't want to mess with that. So, basically, my main focus now is to use the internet for work opportunities such as posting.

new4me Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I do a lot of research, most of the things are for school. I spend time on various forums, just reading looking around, I like to gather information. The on line games are good distraction as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harke Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I spend time to visit different sites and viewing forums. I post on various forums . I mostly visit educational sites.I also spend my time on searching my interests in go-ogle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerius Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 My time online is mainly spent on online forums and watching videos on Youtube, as well as talking with some of my friends. Recently though, I upgraded my WWE forum, and making sure that's up to speed and adding new features, as well as standard moderation needs, has been occupying the most of my time. Still a small forum that I originally started under a free host for my friends, I have plans to make it huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trader1499 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I use to be into gaming big time. However, I've been spending most of my time in forums lately and I found out about this opportunity recently. I started my own forum with a friend and thats looking good so I'll probably be away from the video games for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Since I own my own forum I spend a huge portion of my day maintaining and posting on it. I love to interact of other forums as well, not just mine. I have learned so much information from forums, my school teachers would be jealous.

Odin Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I play World of Warcraft with my girlfriend and her daughter several days a week and I work full time from my home over the internet doing various types of freelancing work. I also watch TV on the internet because the reception where I live is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest katie Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well, I do a lot of my work online but my favorite thing to do while on the internet is to play games. Mmorpg's are my favorite. Right now, my favorite game is rpgworld. It's extremely addictive and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddys Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Working! I love to spend time on line. I even read books on line, Project Gutenberg being only one of the many ways to do this. It's great, I don't have to drive to the library or worry about losing the book or paying fines. Wonderful! I love pets too and spend lots of time on dog related sites. My wife loves to do handcrafts and goes to crochet and knitting sites as well as a few sewing sites (when she can get me off the computer). We also go to a few music sites since she also plays the Mountain or (lap) Dulcimer which is the state instrument of the state of Kentucky. Well , I'm sure this is wayyyyy too much information but I am looking for a job so........ Look guys, I can post, put me to work for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have been on-line about 8 years but since retiring 2 years ago, I spend almost all day on-line, when I'm not out walking, gardening or being a helpful grandparent! I like to play little flash games like prizee.com and I play Runescape, Entropia and Travian which are all role-play/strategy games. I do a lot of surveys and some mystery shopping, talk to friends with Skype and visit forums. I used to be active on review sites like Ciao and Dooyoo but don't seem to have time nowadays. Oh yes, I also buy and sell on EBay from time to time. There's never enough hours in the day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpterin Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I post in a lot of forums that I don't get paid for. It's great to be in an interest group that sincerely interests you! I have gardening groups and paranormal groups that I take part in. Always things to learn from others in the field or with different experiences and it's great to read and share all the information!

belglen Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I spend my time online mostly shopping, looking for products and even writing reviews. I also like to join in with some online chat, I used to play bingo but did not win very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojox360 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 My favorite way to spend my online time is usually searching on video sites like Youtube and Dailymotion to entertain myself. You can basically find a video about anybody or anything on these sites so there leaves little reason to even watch regular T.V anymore. Especially with the fact that some of these video sites broadcast live. An example would be NBC Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webo Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well I can't say I spend my time in any one area of the Internet. I seem to bounce around. I have about 15 websites I keep up and slowly add to daily when possible. I am always working the forums finding new link partners and projects to work on that will hopefully produce enough cash to make this a full time job for myself. And of course I hate to admit it but I also waste a little time on my space and you tube, not daily but maybe once a week or so. Other than that I am always trying to find a new way to make my time on the Internet profitable and fun. If you guys have any good ideas for me, “I am all ears”.

sarahs Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am an absolute myspace freak! Apart from that, I have lately been spending a lot of time on a site called slicethepie. It's a music review site, where you earn about six cents (american) per song you review. It's a lot of fun, though you have to really be patient to find the proverbial needle in the haystack of mediocre music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
