For this week’s Listography Kate is asking us to tell our five most commonly used websites — like the ones that appear at the top of our bookmark list or similar.

As I do pretty much everything I can online these days I use a huge range of sites from Google through news providers to banks. So, with the exception of this blog, here are my five:

1. Google Reader. This is my homepage because the only way I can keep track of the range of blogs, news sites, Flickr groups etc. I want to see regularly is to subscribe via an RSS feed.



2. Facebook. Although I’m not very active it’s worth it for keeping in touch with family, friends, acquaintances, former colleagues, etc.



3. Flickr. All my decent photographs get stored here. And because I’m interested in photography I follow quite a number of people and groups on Flickr. The problem si that there is just too much stuff here to follow properly, which is why I use Google Reader to see the stuff which is of highest interest.



4. Anthony Powell Society. If you like this is my work site as I’m the Society’s Hon. Secretary.



5. Amazon UK. These days I shop almost exclusively online and Amazon is my first stop shop — quickly followed by eBay. If you order from Amazon through the link on the right it helps the Anthony Powell Society.

I’ve not looked but I’ll be surprised if between all of us we don’t come up with a very common set of about ten, with a few outliers. Does anyone out there really do anything much different?
