Skimming my list of favorites for a website to peruse over my luch-hour, I wondered which websites have most influenced the Woyano community. I assume that we are all avid web users so everyone must have some real gems that we can share with each other. So, which would be the one website that has most influencd your life?
Personally, Stencil Revolution has had a major influence on my life over the last couple of years and rekindled my creative spirit. It is dedicated to the art of Stencilling and has a large and active community that regularly provides me with the inspiration to try and balance the more mundane aspects of my life. This is one of my favorite posts, but there are many others:

vip in all its incarnations has been very influential in my time on the internet . After all where else can you meet such a broad range of people.
After that, I'd say msnbc.com, technology and science section. I've learned so many cool things there I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Great thread by the way!
http://homokaasu.org/killeveryone/kill.gas - the kill everyone project - 110,110 confirmed kills to date. Genocide had never been easier, or featured chat.
www.thinkgeek.com - stuff for smart masses
www.vip.ie (the old virtual irish pub - points here now?) - 1996 onwards - they were the best of times, they were the worst of times
http://www.newgrounds.com/ - many an hour spent in here.
www.myspace.com - spend waaay too much time in there
http://www.yourstar.com/s...id_1=9537882&star_id_2=12 - my personal favourite ego site.
www.thinkexist.com - brilliant source of quotes.
http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgie.htm - work fun times.
http://www.futureme.org/ - essential reminders of the days of future past.
Myspace is coming in at a close second tho....but that was referred to me by vippers of course as the pub was getting quiet at times so this was another way to keep in contact with ppl due to the time difference...

Apart from dance music, my biggest passion would be websites! I am a geek, it's true. There's simply too many resources to mention but it's safe to say that without the internet existing and all the free tools, software and tutorials available, I would NEVER be doing what I am doing now.

As for websites I like a lot- Vip gets the shout out of course- many great friends from there and good times!!
http://worldofwonder.net/ : World of Wonder- Through which, I actually got a response back from a question I sent to James St. James (of the Club Kid fame/Party Monster author) - yea..my first internet contact with celebrity- Plus it has a ton of hilarious articles and stories and pics-
I'm addicted to free samples and I've won lots of stuff...i-tunes downloads, luggage, department store gift cards, a cell phone, a coleman widebeam flashlight, sleeping bag...
I figure if I'm going to spend hours online, I might as well get something out of it.
