From gaming to blogging and earning money!
Please Leave your valuable comments, cheers -:)
I’m on the Internet more or less on a daily basis, so I’ve got a fair few websites in my favourites! I’ll sift this down to just 10 and tell you what they are:-
1) NEOPETS.COM
Neopets is a virtual pet website where you can create up to 4 pets. Although this website is predominantly aimed at children, there are a lot of adults playing on the site too! There are loads of games to play, forums to talk on, all of which are being watched by the eagled eyed Neopets staff in USA! You can also open your own shop to earn Neopoints (NP’s) (like money) or open a bank account to earn interest on you NP’s. It’s a really good fun site and a place to go and chill out for a bit.
2) BBC.CO.UK
The BBC is a fantastic website and holds a wealth of information. I’ve got this set as my my homepage. There’s games to play and lots and lots of information on learning on loads of different topics like ancient history, English, maths etc. The Interactive content on the learning section is really good too. Oh, and they do up-to-date news and weather reports too!
3) CIAO.CO.UK
Ciao, like Dooyoo, is a place where you can write reviews to earn money. (Like you didn’t already know that!). I’ve been a member of Ciao for little over 5 years now and really enjoy it there. As a sub website (3a) I’ll include Dooyoo as well. Although there was a time when I didn’t visit Dooyoo for a good while, I’m back now and still enjoying it here as much as I did when I joined the site back in 2001!
4) GOOGLE.CO.UK
Google is probably the world’s most famous search engine. What I like about Google is that you can find virtually anything you want here, including images. I visit Google if I want to find out anything about anything!
5) MYSPACE.COM
I joined myspace just a few months ago, but it’s a great place to go blogging and play games. It’s also a great way of interacting with other members and for bands to advertise their music.
6) EBAY.CO.UK
Hands up who hasn’t heard of Ebay?! I don’t see any arms in the air! I’ve bought and sold quite a lot of stuff on Ebay and like the fact that you can buy virtually anything you want here! I read in the paper a while ago that some bloke sold his soul on Ebay for £11! I’d have sold it for a hell of a lot more than that, I can tell you! Thankfully, I’ve got a good rating which helps people to see I’m a good Ebayer!
7) NATIONALARCHIVES.CO.UK
As I’m doing my family hisory, I’ve got a few good websites in my favourites related to family history/genealogy. I’ve managed to find out quite a lot about my family through these websites, and even ordered my Grandfathers’ death certificate online! I also found out about my Grans’ Uncle received 3 medals. He was killed in action in WW1 and is buried in a Commonwealth War Grave in France. Incidentally, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website (www.cwgc.com) is a fantastic website for finding out about such people).
RIPWAY.COM
If you want to get pictures on the Internet, ripway is a great way of uploading your photographs from your PC, then just copying and pasting the url to that photo. It’s been really for me to upload my photo’s via ripway!
9) YOUGOV.COM
Yougov is a government website where you can earn money by filling in surveys/questionnaires. You need to reach a total of £50 before they send you a cheque. I have received one cheque from them, and am halfway through to receiving another one!
10) STREETMAP.CO.UK
Streetmap has been a big help to me in the past. If I don’t know where a particular street is, even in the town I live in, I will go onto streetmap and type in the street and/or postcode and they will bring a map up of where it is, which is cool. Although, if you’ve got one of those sattelite navigation things in your car, you may not need to use streetmap. But as I haven’t got one of those I shall resort to using this website!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, these are my top 10 website. Most of them you will know and may visit on a regular basis like me. Some you may not know. But, they are all very good websites and well worth visiting!
Thanks for reading!
