Hello! So today I'm going to list a few websites that I think are the top 5 most useful for everyday life! Again, this is my own personal opinion! If you know of any others, leave a comment! Also! I added the link to FOLLOW OUR BLOG on the left hand side! So you should do that. :)
The Top 5 Most Useful Websites for Your Everyday Life 5. eHow.com If you ever need to know how to do anything, go to eHow. It's crazy. I could be on there for hours looking up how to tie my shoelaces, put on pants, or even plant a garden if I wanted to! Seriously though, if you ever get confused about something, like putting together a robot....ehow.com.
4. Yahoo Answers Much like eHow.com, except people ask their own questions in a forum type setting, and get answers from other users. Strangely enough, these usually come up on Google searches as well. The answers are rated through a star system, and the best or most useful ones show up on top. I like to use this for computer problems, they have many useful answers on that topic concerning certain programs and compatitbility.
3. HopStop.com In NYC, Chicago, Boston or another metropolitian area? Check out Hopstop.com. It'll tell you how to get anywhere using the public transportation system in your city. It also estimates how long the trip will take, other routes to possibly use, and lets you change the walk/transfer options! Living in NYC, this site has been one of the ones I visit most often. Believe me.
2. Sit or Squat This is a comprehensive list of publc restrooms, sorted by cleanliness! So, if you're in a pickle and you gotta go, they have a mobile phone application as well! Look up your location and you'll get a list of publuc restrooms in your area rated by others who've used them! Then when you're done, rate it yourself!
1. Google Obviously, this is going to be #1. Google, which is now officially a verb I believe, is the most incredible search engine on the web. It's a researchers dream, if it's out there Google can find it. Inferior only to specific enginges like Lexis Nexis or Academic Search Premiere. Although, you can't find your favorie Youtube videos on there.
NOTE: You're probably asking yourself why I didn't add YouTube to the list. Mostly because it's more of an entertainment form rather than an everyday needs use.
One more thing, I noticed our layout doesn't allow for comments for some reason, So I'm going to try and post the comment link on the bottom of all my posts. If I forget, you can drop us a line at cal_blog@yahoo.com!

Since we are new bloggers here on blogspot, we thought why not introduce ourselves properly? Here's a few things about us:
Lauren: Hey I'm Lauren, 19 years old and a freshman in college. I'm majoring in Communication Studies, with a concentration in Media. I'm still not too sure what exactly I'm going to end up doing, maybe T.V or Journalism. My dream is to be a late night talk show host! I enjoy reality T.V, and documentaries, even though I'm not all that politically active. If I end up ranting about a show, it will be either Gilmore Girls, Heroes or some reality show. I also like books. Unlike Cynthia, reading is something I actually enjoy doing. I like to bake but I suck, take naps that are way longer than a nap is, shop, write, technology, celebrity gossip and fashion. Expect my posts to be somewhat different, I like photos so I will probably include many of those too. So that's practically all you need to know about me, more things will probably be revealed in my posts especially if I left something out!
Cynthia: I'm currently a design student in college, studying communication design. I like dancing and singing (badly). If a song I like begins to play, I guarantee you I will burst out in vocals and movement. I take sleep for granted, and don't really mind going without it. My dreams usually determine my mood for the rest of the day. My favorite season is Spring (although I'm still waiting for that to arrive). When I was 14 I wanted to want to be a photographer. In fact, I got into the art program in high school because of my passion for it. I find talent and drive attractive. I respect those who artistically and passionately create, even if I dislike you as a person. I can guarantee you my ringtone is a rap/hip-hop/r&b song 90% of the time. And my final random fact: "Life is too short to have on a bad outfit." (So don't. Really. Plz.) Here is my Livejournal
