Please discuss your favorite website, one that you go to everyday or regularly. Why is it your favorite? Please provide the link to the website in your entry.

Facebook, Myspace, Email Accounts, Wikipedia, and adult entertainment websites are off limits . Is it celebrity gossip? The world news? The Batt? Your own blog? A gaming website? A magazine (Maxim, Cosmo, People)? Music (VH1, MTV)? Whatever website you choose, make sure that you provide a good discussion.

You may not repeat websites; so if one of your classmates has already posted about your favorite, then you must choose another website to discuss.
