  For me, websites are places I go to research information that I need 
at that particular moment, not places to go for community 
interaction. What about other people? Do many of you have websites 
that you go to daily or weekly? If so, for what? What is so 
compelling about those sites that you make the effort to check in 
frequently?
   
  This is an interesting point:  I'd say more that I go to particular blogs regularly (almost daily) vs. going to particular websites.  
   
  The "website" I go to daily is my Bloglines RSS reader, which aggregates all the stuff I need daily.  
   
  From Bloglines I will go to particular blogs (which are differentiate from websites for lots of reasons) that may have links to other sources of information I may need to either write about something or just to stay informed and "in the loop" of conversation.
   
  There are certain bloggers I keep contact with via comments.  Some of these are folks I've met and know.  Others are folks I simply know from the blogosphere, but have built relationships with them through comments and email.   
   
  One of those guys just emailed me re LinkedIn.  We've never met f2f, but we read and comment on each other's blogs and have emailed privately.  We respect each other's work and it is to our advantage to be linked to one another on LinkedIn.  
   
  I think that where you go daily on the 'net, what you read, the websites or blogs or games you interact with is contingent on what you need or get from them.  For me, too, websites are places I go for information.  Blogs are places I go to  not just for information, but to read ideas, exchange ideas and information, and make connections. For me, the 'net IS social.  What I go to daily is what I need in my particular world--whether for information or business/social connection.  In a networking/networked world, one never knows where social connections might lead and if you know how to do it, the 'net is a great place to met incredible people.
