Where Do You Surf?

Recently, I was having a conversation with close friends. They asked where I go on the Internet. So I thought share where I "surf" with a short connection.

For news, I go to:
http://www.bbc.com/news/

http://www.reuters.com/
http://www.usnews.com/

I find these sources to be the most credible with the least slant.

I also check in on USA Today for basic news. http://www.usatoday.com/

I do check out Fareed Zakaria's website, http://fareedzakaria.com/ as well as I try to listen to his weekly podcast.

These are the web sites I frequent quite a bit.
