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...

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!

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.

Karma point for that!

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.  :)

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.

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! ^_^

One more time to escape from all this madness. One more time to be set free from all this sadness. And one last time to be the one who understands... My soul and my spirit will go on... for all of eternity

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  ;)

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.

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.
Sometimes I just can't help myself. I gotta do it!

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.

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!
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

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!!!
