So, I have been required to write a post about my favorite website; how often I visit it and what I like about it. Honestly I am not sure what my favorite website is, but if I had to say what website I visit most often it is likely facebook. I think on a scale of 1-10, 1 being I visit facebook once a month and 10, I am on facebook continually throughout the day (you know who you are), I am maybe a 6? Sure with my iPhone it is tempting to check into each and every notification when someone has posted to my wall/commented on a picture/liked something I have liked, etc...but I try and remember to be absorbed with life in my physical surroundings and not what is on my phone screen; it is terrifying to think that life is passing by as we stare at our phones, although sometimes temptation gets the best of me.
In all however, for keeping in touch with friends around the globe, and promoting myself as my own brand and my creative endeavors, my most visited sites are definitely the social networks. I try and keep up with facebook, twitter, google +, and instagram. More and more these days to let people know what I'm up to creatively, as I see the start of a professional career (if you can call it that) in my art nearing closer and closer. My "meet my friends" links list on the page are the blogs and websites of a few close friends that I am proud to support, and am happy to follow their personal and creative endeavors, it's nice to have physical connections to all of the on-line things we keep up with these days.
I acknowledge that I have diverted answering the general question posed; my favorite website. I view most of the sites I visit as a duty, or necessary to my artistic growth, so for now I will say that I just appreciate many of the different facets that the web has to offer. I also have a healthy respect for stepping away from our electronic devices and enjoying the simple beauty of the day. I hope we can all remember to do that, once in a while.
