What are your favourite websites?

We got the Xbox last spring. The site told us it would take 8-12 weeks to receive the prize when I redeemed for it, but it showed up at my door after only three weeks with a pretty silver and blue bing sticker on the box. At that time Club Bing allowed a maximum of 1,000 tickets a day and the Xbox was 55,000 tickets. Sometimes they'll run a double ticket day too. It took 1.5 to 2 hours a day to get the maximum tickets and we had enough in less than two months of solid playing. Since then, Club Bing has reduced the max tickets to 500. But hey, it's free. The Xbox isn't listed as one of the prizes right now, but I've seen it come and go from the prize list several times over. I'm sure the delay is because Club Bing is owned my Microsoft and I'm sure they are trying to maximize profits on the Kinect before they offer it for free. There are lots of other prizes though, including accessories for the Xbox, and you could always start saving up tickets at your leisure so that you have most if not all you need when the Xbox comes around again on the prize list. Just go over there and look at the prizes. With this information, you should be able to determine how long it will take you to get something you would like. I don't get any downline benefits from Club Bing so sharing this information is only to share a good thing.

I'm obviously going to have to try the first three of these, having never heard of them! I'm totally intrigued though. Can I ask how long you've been saving for the xbox? I love ebay, you can get such good deals. I find etsy can be really cheap too if you're willing to slog through to find what you want!

Thanks so much for your response, I think I'll give this a go tomorrow when I have a bit of time and see how I get along with it :)

Fair enough :) I prefer fanfiction but fictionpress is also good. Yay, fellow geek lol. Never heard of mysoju, but I use youtube for music videos (when I can be bothered) too. Design as in...web design? Interior design? ... other types of design that I can't think of right now?

No worries, I was just curious :)

Yeah, I was referring to web design. Sorry, I forgot to specify. :)

Fanfiction.net is great if you have a particular series that you'd like to read more of but that haven't been written! So for me, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan...and I'm really not a fan of all the couples she wrote in the epilogue...so I read fanfics that explore other couples :) They have sections for fanfiction about books, tv and even games. If you're not up for fanfiction, you might prefer their sister site, fictionpress, which is all original fiction in both poetry and prose form. You can pick the style you'd like to read, and the genre, and hey presto - reading for those afternoons when you don't have a book.

I've never heard of pinohackers or demonoid but I'm obviously a mylot fan too! I have facebook but honestly it's a last resort for when I'm bored!

Pinoyhackers** even

I thought that no one who can come first in Facebook and then your mail.

Facebook's turning out to be a more popular response than I thought :s

oh. i'm getting intrigued with your neopets. maybe i should give it a try too. as for imdb, i just love it because it keeps me posted with the latests in the movie industry. love the all-time worldwide box office. :)

I'm an imdb fan too :) 4shared sounds good but honestly I'm too lazy to download things lol. Ah, my game site of choice is neopets...started when I was about 12 and it just stuck! I love seeing my points go up/my new trophies...even though neither counts towards anything :(

I have deviantArt only I never really have time to draw etc until holidays :( I love looking at other's work though. Ah IMDb....necessary for all those "Doesn't he also play..." moments. That's pretty much all I use it for though, as well as "I know I recognise her but I don't know why...."

Another youtube vote. I'm a huge ff fan, and have periods of being obsessed with fictionpress too. Do you write? What do you like to read fanfic wise?

Ah, how could I forget youtube? I rarely use it to be honest, just when I'm away from my pc but want music on in the background.

I haven't tried gametop.com, I usually just stick to neopets because then all my game scores add up to (fake) money. It can't be spent on anything other than in game stuff but it's fun to watch my points add up :) I'm still getting used to mylot since I only joined yesterday, but I'm sure I'll figure everything out soon enough.

Me too, I usually only use TSR for things like study tips etc, I always forget there's so much more on there. I haven't tried triond.com but I keep hearing about it - is it good? Failbook may be worth a go :)

Ah fair enough, yeah I find facebook pretty dull to be honest, never really played runescape. Youtube is a popular favourite :)
