Hey everyone, we would love it if you could post a list of two things for us:
1. What websites you visit on a frequently?
2. What magazines do you read monthly (frequently)? 3. Where do you go to hang out?
We are trying to get some marketing data together and we really would appreciate everyones input.
Cheers,

1. Here! Of course!
but I also hang out on IMDB to check movie info as well as WorldOfWarcraft
The rest are rather random
2. VideoMaker Magazine. I know it's odd, but I like that kinda stuff I like
3. Movies? Fine Dining? Not that particularly helps.
Frankly, work and family take up a lot of my time. And when I'm not doing that, I like to travel. Not that with gas prices the way they are, I do that too often any more.

Hey, lets toss mine in here too!
- gamerenders.com
- deviantart.com
- myspace.com
- worldofwarcraft.com
- livejournal.com
Most of mine are community based sites, forums, or social networks.
As for magazines
- The Advocate
- PC Gamer
- Maximum PC
And for hanging out. I frequent multiple IRC servers, and those are pretty much the only chat rooms I spend time in. Aside from the chatting in video games. Most of the chats I frequent are linked to sites that I listed above.

Sites I visit regularly:
SilentPCReview HotHardware EverQuest guild website (Sanity's Edge on Povar server) TechPowerUpdate VirtualHideout Various sugar glider sites... LOL! Magazines: MaximumPC... I'd read others if I had access to em. I'm a die hard magazine fan! Hangouts: I go to Wal-Mart and Country Mart. Oh and the VAMC in KC. My main "hangouts" are online. I'm between chat rooms atm. I find some abstract topic and learn the ins and outs, study personal interaction and learn about subcultures. This is just a hobby of mine. I believe that in order to communicate effectively, you need to understand those you want to contact. |

Magazines? Police Magazine, SWAT, Professional Phtographer and any one I can get for a free trial : )
