=== International and local news ===
 
 
:*[http://www.nytimes.com/ New York Times] - I like reading the New York Times because it always has a variety of news available, both national and international.
 
 
:*[http://news.google.com/ Google News] - Google News is a good source of news as well, like the NYT it gives you top stories and then a variety of categories to choose from.
 
 
:*[http://www.oregonlive.com/oregonian/ The Oregonian] - The Oregonian is great when I want to know what is going on locally in Portland.
 
 
=== Music and Entertainment ===
 
 
:*[http://www.pandora.com/ Pandora] - Useful when looking for new music and artists for a particular genre.
 
 
:*[http://www.imdb.com/ IMDB] - I use this all the time when looking up new movies.
 
 
:*[http://www.stumbleupon.com/ StumbleUpon] - This website is very entertaining, it takes your interests and directs you to random websites with photos, information, and videos that relate to them.
 
 
:*[http://foodporndaily.com/ FoodPornDaily] - Don't get the wrong idea about this website because of the name. If you're hungry and looking for some amazing food this website is great, it provides a picture and recipe. 
 
 
:*[http://www.hulu.com/ Hulu] - This website allows you to watch a lot of different TV shows after they have already aired.
 
 
=== Social Networking ===
 
 
:*[http://www.facebook.com/ Facebook] - Helps me stay in touch with family and friends. Also a great way to share information.
 
 
:*[http://twitter.com/ Twitter] - This is similar to Facebook, but different in the sense that you can "fallow" celebrities, politicians, actors, and just about anyone else.
 
 
=== Sources I have heard about ===
 
 
:*[http://perezhilton.com/ Perez Hilton] - My roommate always goes on this website to keep up with celebrity news.
 
 
=== Sources to balance my opinion ===
 
 
:*[http://www.theonion.com/ The Onion] - I think satire would help balance out my information intake.
 
 
=== Sources to add depth to my perspective ===
 
 
:*[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ BBC News] -I think this is a generally less biased news source so it would give me a better perspective on news in comparison to the sites I go to now.
 
 
:*[http://www.npr.org/ NPR] - Along with BBC I think NPR is another great news source that would add depth to the news I currently read about.
