Thursday Thirteen – Bookmark This!

October 22, 2009 on 9:11 am | In Elise | 15 Comments

Today I’m going to tell you about 13 sites I have bookmarked. Aside from, naturally, this one.

1. Twitter. I use tweetdeck for my daily tweetfests, but for managing the account – particularly getting rid of offensive B.R.I.T.N.E.Y porn bots – the website is more tractable. I love twitter’s instant feedback and ability to virtually hang out with people.

2. Peertrainer. This is a great site. There’s a daily food log, and you can join groups large or small for support. You can use the site for weight loss, healthy eating, specific allergies, fitness goals, whatever. Very handy.

3. Romance Divas. Great site for writers, interesting site for readers to get to know writers. It really is geared more for writers, though.

4. Free Rice. For each correct answer, the site donates 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. The site opens with a vocabulary quiz, but there are other topics – art, grammar, geography, math, chemistry. Play this instead of solitaire. Not only will you build your brain, you’ll feed the hungry while you’re at it. WIN!

5. Smart Bitches,  Trashy Books. Great, helpful reviews, fantastic cover snark, and insightful posts about publishing and reading.

6. Dear Author. Great reviews, and occasional legal insight into the vagaries of publishing. Jane’s a wonderful resource, and the reiews, like SBTB, are helpful.

7. LOL cats. Funny as hell. I adore this site. Always good for a laugh.

8. Dylan Ricci. This photographer does male nudes that are amazing. They are very sculptural, very much focused on form and light. NSFW.

9. Chat Noir. This is an addictive little game. Beware the time sink!

10. Gateway for free video lectures at makeuseof.com. Great resource for finding interesting and in-depth information on thins.

11. The Hubble Site. The most gorgeous cosmological pictures.

12. Book sites. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books on Board. I think this is self explanatory. lol.

13. E Pubs. I’m putting these all together, in alphabetical order. Freya’s Bower, Liquid Silver Books, Samhain Publishing. Again, I think this is self-explanatory.

How about you? What do you have bookmarked?

8. I’ve recently got into LOLCatz much to the joy of a friend who’s been trying to make me a fan. Those cats are just so damn funny!

   I follow/been aware of most on the list. The real goldfind on this list, for me, is #8. I’ve seen those pictures on other sites, blogs, etc and always stopped to marvel. I’m glad I can now put a name to those pictures! Thank you!

14. My list is close to yours. I visit facebook every morning as well. It’s my most interactive site. I am NOT going to check out the Cats. I don’t need another reason to procrastinate. lol
    Happy T13!

15. The LOL cats are addictive, aren’t they? I find them funnier with each passing day! And I will check out peertrainer. Sounds like a cool site. Thanks for the info!
