What if one day you were told that you had to pick your top 10 favorite websites and those were the only ones you were allowed to visit from here on out. It doesn’t sound fun or fair does it? Seeing as that situation is completely fictional and never likely to happen, you can stop sweating and calm down.

But, this got us thinking at MS Companies, what are our favorite websites? What are the sites that we can’t live without because we visit them for news, statistics, and entertainment every single day? We gathered everyone’s favorites from around the office and came up with the following list of websites the MS Company employees can not go a day without visiting. Browse the sites, and maybe you will find one that you can’t live without either.

• NETFLIX: Netflix is the greatest online movie store, in our opinion. One has to be a member of netflix to enjoy it, but this site is well worth your money. There are four kinds of plans with the most extensive being $18.99 a month for 3 DVDs out at a time and unlimited instant TV and movies on your pc or mac with internet connection. There are no late fees and the only stipulation is to return the DVDs you have watched to receive new ones. It’s really that easy.
• DIGG: Digg.com is a great sight for staying up-to-date with the tops videos, entertaining photos, comics, and news stories occurring that day. It is the perfect website if you have nothing to do and would like to be easily entertained.
• ESPN: This is the obvious “go to” site for all things sports. It supplies a myriad of sports data, scores, videos, fantasy leagues…the list could go on and on.
• PANDORA: Pandora is a streaming radio station that plays music based on radio stations that users can create or borrow from other users. Stations can be created based on an artists name or the name of a song. Stations are managed by giving the “thumps up” or “thumps down” on whether or not you like the current song. The more a station is managed the more personalized the station becomes.
• DEADSPIN : If espn seems a bit overwhelming, check out deadspin.com. This gathers the top stories and videos pertaining to all things sports and is put in a much simpler format.
• GROUPON: This site is great because it provides the best daily deals on fun activies for the city in which you live. People discover activities in their city they never knew existed. In order to get the deal, a certain number of people must register for it. This way, the company offering the deal profits as well as those purchasing. Check out the “how groupon works” tab on their site.
• SLICKDEALS: Slickdeals.net posts great deals daily on anything from the latest technology to kids’ board games. You name it, slickdeals.net can most likely give you a deal on it.
• TWITTER: You have to have been living under a rock for the past year if you haven’t heard of twitter. For those who aren’t aware of the specifics, businesses use it as a free marketing tool to provide real time news, promotions, etc., to build a more personal/conversational relationship with their customers. Individuals use it to keep in touch with friends, follow celebrities, television shows and programs, and whoever/whatever else they choose. Follow MS Companies on twitter today!

• YOUTUBE: Who doesn’t love youtube? If you have never surfed it, try it. It is yet another free way for businesses to market their services to the entire world via homemade or professionally made videos. Not only is it a great source of entertainment, youtube is an amazing hub of knowledge. It contains thousands of how-to videos on almost anything you can imagine. It’s truly an amazing site.
