What are your three favourite websites, and why?

What websites are your favourites (and not necessarily just to make money from). What sites do you spend most of your time at - and why - what is it that you get from them? My favourites would have to be: 1.myLot - I love spending time reading all the discussions, seeing what people's opinions are and responding to topics that interest me. I like the diversity of people here, and the community feeling you get from the site. 2.Helium - I know people have mixed feelings about this site, but I've done fairly well from submitting articles to the site. Admittedly I've made more here in a week than I did at Helium in a month, but Helium has the advantage of the market area (which offers paid publishing opportunities) as well as contests. I've yet to make any money from the contests, but I have had a piece selected for publication, which is important to me as a freelance writer. 3. Facebook - Here I can catch up with family and friends, send messages, post photo's and see what photo's people on my friend's list have posted and generally just see what everyone is up to back home. I also like many of the applications you can add, though I have to admit, I'm not very disciplined at the moment, and spend far to much time doing things over there instead of concentrating on my writing or studies.
