Webgems

Pandora is another music streaming service that is similar to spotify, but unlike spotify, you create stations based on your interests. I use pandora to listen to comedy before I go to sleep. Since it plays track after track of new material, I don't have to go back and search for something that I would want to listen to.

Google keep is a lesser known tool in the google tool box which helps me manage my time and use it effectively. It is an app that allows users to create to-do lists and make personal notes without having to write them down on paper. Another part that I like about Google Keep is that it has an android widget that can be installed on android phones to make sure that users remember to complete their tasks.

I go to yelp.com when I am looking to go to new places to eat and do activities. Yelp is really helpful because it allows people to share their experiences at different restaurants and businesses with people who are looking to try somewhere new. I usually use yelp to find restaurants, but sometimes I use it to find things to do in unfamiliar places.

Comedy Central is a fun place to go when I have free time because it has full episodes of my favorite shows like the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Although those two shows are funny, I feel like they are the best news source on the internet. They make their names by bashing the government's missteps, so they are always unbiased and looking for an important issue to criticize government bureaucrats on.

I go to spreeder.com because it is a really helpful tool to read something quickly. It plays the words of a document quickly in front of you to help you read it faster. It also increases comprehension because of the effort that it takes to read each word quickly.

I go to spotify.com to listen to my favorite music. This is unlike other music streaming services because spotify allows a listener to listen to whatever music he/she would like to rather than playing a random song in a category. I use spotify every day while I am studying and doing work.

I enjoy going to Du Pont Registry because it is an interesting place to check out some of the most luxurious things on the planet. They show things from million dollar cars to multi-million dollar homes to even private islands. My favorite part of the site would be the place where they show all of the luxury car dealerships and their inventories.

I enjoy going to guitarcenter.com because they have a great selection of guitars that are really cool to look out. I also like going to the website because it shows the inventories of all the guitar center stores in America, so if I go to an actual guitar center to buy something, but they don’t have it, I can go to the website and find what I am looking for. They also have great reviews of different musical products, so I know that i can make an informed decision before i buy something.

I like to go to bleacher report for my sports news because its really well designed and easy to interpret unlike NFL.com and ESPN.com. They put up interesting slideshows that show teams’ progress as different seasons progress. It is also a great place to go and get quick sports news because they always have ticker at the top with updated scores. This is interesting to me because I love to watch and play sports, so I really like the ease with which I can keep up with my favorite teams.
