Let me start off by saying I spend way too much time on the Internet and I’ve been trying to cut back in this New Year. So far it’s worked out ok. I would say I definitely spend less time on Facebook and Hulu, but I still need to work on it.
Although my homepage is Google, my most frequented site definitely has to been Yahoo Homepage. I am probably on Yahoo up to ten times a day. Yes my email account is by Yahoo but that’s not the reason why I’m on this site so much. I’m always on there because I love to read the Yahoo news headlines. Getting the news has never been so easy or interesting before.
For those of you who have never experienced Yahoo Homepage, I highly recommend it. Four headlines with pictures show up in the middle of the screen and there is a brief, attention grabbing sentence or two about the article. Then you can click the right arrow, which brings you to the next set of four articles with pictures. Sometimes there is up to 30 articles! If I see something that seems interesting, I click on the article and read it or just read part of it if its boring and not as cool as I thought it was going to be. Most of the articles I read have to do with the latest health and fitness advice, sports news, cool and lavish real-estate that I will never be able to afford, or even sweet videos of sea turtles high-fiving!
When I don’t have time to sit and watch NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, or read the entire newspaper, Yahoo news is a great way to stay current with what is happening in the world with the additional random but interesting facts or stories.
When I do find myself on Facebook it is mainly to chat or video chat with friends from home and the occasional, or maybe not so occasional stalking my friend’s pictures and let’s be honest, pictures of people I hardly know. Admit it, you do it too.
